I'm an atheist but I recognise that religion does exactly that function for the religious.

So climate change is fully agreed upon by everyone and anti-vaxxers don't exist. Sure.
- AstralStorm 7y agoExactly the main problem for some is that science almost never fully explains anything - it's a process. People like to have solid explanations or at least excuses, and crackpots go further in this need than others. As usual, if you have better method than experiment, measurement and observation, describe it in detail. Science is not just numbers and words are quantifiable too, if not accurately. The condition is that the results have to be attempting objectivity. If you have a beef with using statistics for particular cases, say so and propose a better approach. (Many people feel they're special or above average. Wobegon effect also known as illusory superiority or inferiority.)
- tempguy9999 7y agoYou misread my post. I agree with you completely (excepting the snide Wobegone effect comment, which I had to look up but at least I learnt something today).
