They are correct though. There is no evidence that chimps walked out of Africa. For two reasons:
-
They can’t walk for that length of time because we’re the ones who walk everywhere, they hang out in trees.
-
No one ever said they did.
I’m wondering if this person has ever even seen a chimp, to be honest.
Orangutan “getting on boats” to leave Borneo is a hilarious image. Like Douglas Adams without the literacy.
This individual would make a good scientist. They are curious, require evidence to challenge claims, will investigate the evidence, and struggles to make sense of it. If they were taught how to perform their investigation, what being thorough means, and how to test their wild guesses.
This poor person could have made breakthroughs in anthropology or archeology in another life.
They may believe that the “orangutang” is a smarter primate than them because they don’t even know how to spell its name.
They are a bad scientist.
They have decided they don’t like a thesis and are looking for reasoning to explain those feelings. What they are not doing is trying to understand the evidence for the thesis. They believe that science is one person saying the viewpoint they already hold is how the thesis they don’t like or understand is ‘disproven’.
They are not curious for discovery, they are curious how to explain their pre-existing worldview in “science-y words” because they feel unable to reconcile their faith with reason. In another life they would have been the monk writing how the patterning on flowers is proof of Jesus’ suffering.
I began skimming (rather than read) at “homind”…
I do not agree with widely agreed upon, backed by scientists theory that numerous studies and research has proven to be plausible lol
“so does any scientist agree with me on this whole all the scientists are wrong thing?!”
They think scientific advancements are always made by a single person and occur in a vacuum. They learn that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and equate that to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, but the way they see it Bells science is self evident because well phones work so his science must be right. With more abstract discoveries that don’t produce an object in the physical world they believe they can deny all day.
It’s really fucking stupid
Bell didn’t actually invent it (Elisha Gray did), but that aside, They didn’t work in a vacuum either. The telephone wouldn’t exist without all the discoveries before it. Including the abstract ideas that were necessary for basic electrical devices to be constructed. And Darwin wouldn’t have come up with his theory if it wasn’t for his grandfather Erasmus and Jean-Baptist Lamarck.
They’re just wrong about how science works period.
Doesn’t mean [sunflowers] somehow blew over
This is a troll right?
Orangatang is a great band name.
