WARNING: If anyone tries to approach you using the following phrases (but not limited to the following phrases) "science proves..." or "studies have shown..." promptly lead them to the nearest lavatory, firmly grasp their head, and shove it in the toilet.
Seriously. As soon as someone starts with that garbage, I've learned to completely tune them out because phrases like "science" and "studies" are shoddy coverups for "I don't know what on earth I am talking about, sorry."
What exactly do you mean by "science"? Do you have any idea how "big" "science" really is? That's like saying, "A carbon-based organism said..." instead of "Thomas Jefferson, in his speech on _____, said..." Same with "studies." You know, I did a study one time when I was like 6 on the effects of peanut butter spread on the cupboards on parent's cortisol levels. TOTALLY VALID, RIGHT? You can cite that up and down with the word "study" and no one would know that you're a helpless moron.
Ever notice whenever you ask someone who pulls that load to prove their stuff, they say, "Okay well I need to find it it was a while ago..." or they just don't reply/change the subject? Yeah.
You know what "science" proved?
Science proved that black people are inferior to white people.
Science proved that Catholicism was superior to Islam.
And, apparently, science has proved the existence of aliens, prophesized by a passage in the Bible which no one has been willing to cite for me.
I am hereby not liable for assaulting the next person who says "studies have shown" or "science proves," due to temporary insanity.
