In recent times, people have become afraid of being perceived as anti-science. See it all the time.
- wccrawford 9y agoWorse, people believe in the results of anything labeled "science" blindly, without considering whether it's actually true or what the confidence level of the scientists is in their own result. For example, evolution. I know someone who believes in it so strongly that you can't suggest that it's still just a theory, and that it's actually possible that it's incorrect. Unlikely, sure, but possible. He gets irate and claims it as a fact.

It is a theory, but theory in the scientific context doesn't mean what you think it means. By the way, evolution is a fact.
