    Then we can't talk about science here. And, we are in a forum, we are here to discuss things!

    With all due respect, but you are wrong about all the examples you posted. I recommend you search for real articles and trustworthy sources when you want to talk about science, and not just google any site about "science".

    In science, we need to prove things before accepting them as facts (note= "fact" in science doesn't mean it is an absolute truth. Anything can be challenged at any time. If you prove something is wrong, in science, then you are a genius and you will be recognized as one).

    Please, if you want to talk about science, research and back up what you are saying, before talking. You are totally welcome to challenge any scientific evidence or fact, and it will be great to science if you prove that something is wrong, because we can improve the existing concepts. But you didn't show any proof about what you are saying, and, as others said, science doesn't say "we use only 10% of our brains", unless you are talking about "so called science" in a personal blog of someone who understands NOTHING about science.

    You are saying these things based on personal experiences, and based on your teachers only? That's not science, i'm sorry.

    Now, repeating myself, if you do know that something in science is a lie/is wrong, and you can prove it, please, show the world. You could easily win a Nobel, if you prove wrong a big concept, or at least you will be recognized as a great mind.

    The examples you gave are in fact the opposite of "perpetrated as absolute fact/truth". They're at best over-simplification of actual scientific results, or just plain urban legends. You may as well point out that you once stepped on a crack with no resulting injury to your mother's back. "More lies, science!"


    Here's another thing about science. They have something called peer review. When a scientist publishes his (or her) work, he opens it up to critique from his colleagues. This is to test the veracity of his work, and to perhaps give alternate viewpoints to explain the results achieved. It's what makes science academically rigorous, and not just (to coin a phrase) "somebody spouting lies that everybody is supposed to just believe on their say-so".

    Surely this is something you could get behind?

    Let me give this a shot.

    The theory of evolution tells us that humans came from fish because, at some point, a fish gave birth to a rat and that rat gave birth to monkey which gave birth to a human.
    Nonsense. Scientific Lies.
    No one has ever observed a rat giving birth to a monkey.

    According to science, quantum physics means that anything can happen at any time for no reason
    Another lie. Scientists of full of it.

    Scientists claim that the dinosaurs went extinct because an asteroid turned them gay.
    How do they know?
    There is no proof to base this assumption on.

    Did I do it right?

    People like to say things like "global warming is a lie 'cuz it's cold where I live", but that kind of thinking seems awfully dumb to me. We had a very cold winter this year where I live but that doesn't mean I'm going to claim research showing the global mean temperature has risen is false. If I did want to counter that theory, then I'd have to do research of my own.

    Science is always evolving. The things you listed are now proven false.

    Do the words "confidence interval" mean anything to you?

    That might not mean much to anyone unless they have an understanding of basic experimental statistics.
