I politely recommend you do more research into the subject. It won't change your conclusions, but the state of affairs is very much not settled.
Also, here's your falsifiability: when it can be shown that the virus is zoonotic in origin, the other theories of its origin are falsified.
I do not believe that the virus was engineered in a lab at this point, but turning this into tribe warfare will not help anything. Saying that the opinion you disagree with is unscientific and comparing it to creationism just shows you aren't looking to have an actual conversation.
- XorNot 5y agoThe initial probability of "novel new virus" is not "it was made in a lab / escape a lab".
- mike00632 5y agoFalsifiability would be something like: we know what the genetics of lab-made viruses look like; they have certain base pair signatures; therefore if this virus were made in a lab it would have those signatures. A real scientist with close knowledge of the virus and the lab offered this.
