Yes, there are a lot of people who are anti-science. As in they do not believe the scientific method is a good way to find truth. There are people today who are rejecting very basic science that was accepted over a century ago.
- somenameforme 1y agoNo, there aren't. Most people don't realize when they're being trolled by things like e.g. flat earth types. Go read one of the groups, it's a trolling meme largely turned into something by the internet + media. Thanks to social media even if let's say 0.1% of English speakers believe (or pretend to believe) something, that'd be 1.6 million people, so you can get a false impression, especially when the media takes the trolling and then amplifies it with a straight face largely to amplify these dumb and farcical divides.
- tbrownaw 1y agoI've seen science (the process, not just the results of that process) denounced as an aspect or tool of Western colonialism / imperialism. And there's that related "indigenous ways of knowing" thing that Canada has going on. --- Also the flat earth people actually aren't trying to argue against science (the process). They're arguing that everyone except them made either observational errors or reasoning errors.

It’s also unclear whether science is capable of determining metaphysical truth. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-realism/#WhatScieReal https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-realism/#WhatS... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pessimistic_induction https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pessimistic_induction
