@WoodshopHandman These are the same people who are absolutely brainfucked when they find out thousands of super useful things they interact with every day were invented by people who didn't go to college and tons of them never finished what we would consider high school.
@WoodshopHandman I like this man immediately.
@WoodshopHandman it really is amazing how many people want 'scientific proof' for things they have literally seen with their own eyes

@WoodshopHandman You can just say things and assert things. Some things are self evident and a priori. You can make arguments for what you believe without referencing the work of others. Your intuition and experiences can reveal true information. Only naïve people, unconfident people, and academiacels fail to understand this.
@WoodshopHandman it's once again the meme of the redditard going "sOuRcE1?!!? Some thing are just self evident, rather than saying "oh he's wrong because no source hurrrr" why not try to prove the statement false? Prove that what he said was actually wrong.
@lain @WoodshopHandman back in the 'atheism wars' days it was a common trope for christians to scream "SCIENCE IS A RELIGION". This of course didn't go anywhere because they weren't smart enough to explain what they even meant by it.
Many years later we see religion is an evolved (on a societal level) adaptation that happens to keep things in relative order. It's not perfect but if you yank it away you get a power vacuum that gets filled by whoever is charismatic enough to exploit all those same vulnerabilities in the brain. This effectively results in a bunch of disjointed secular cults. "Science" in big air quotes is the one most widely held since the scientific process actually works and gives credibility when leaders cite it by appeal to authority.
So yeah, to most people, it is a religion.
