Applies nicely to you though!!!!

He probably has a childlike mental model of science.

"Put stuff in glass stuff go boom!"

All humans have a "childlike mental model" of science.

Yourself included. That, and you're simply not very intelligent in the first place.

Humans created the scientific model, but they only have a childlike understanding of it.

Makes total sense to me.

Anyone with a functioning brain realizes how little we actually know in the general realm of science.

The scientific method exists so that we can reduce uncertainty.

Repeated observation and experiments are building blocks of an explanatory framework (a theory), which is subject to change as uncertainty is decreased. Theories are "better" or "worse" depending on how explanatory or predictive they are. They don't transform into laws or facts at some point, they just become more accurate.

That's it. There's no such thing as a perfect theory, and no scientist will claim that we fully understand something. It's all shades of grey.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It was an 8-word response.

Failed usage of overused Billy Madison quote failed.

Your 8 word response was dangerously close to nonsensical. Copypasta was the best effort I could muster.

Try harder.

I won't lie, that was the most entertaining exchange I've seen on here in a while.

Points for both of you on me.

Just because you are 31 doesn't mean you don't need the pill.
