I've never heard anyone use the phrase "the science is settled". The only time I've ever heard someone use a variation on this phrase is to exit a conversation with an illiterate moron yelling about the flat Earth and ignoring any presented proof.

1) "We never stop learning"
- I have no complaints on this point. That is a fair and accurate statement so long as you don't take it too far.

2) "The scientific consensus is frequently wrong"
- Uh... No... The scientific consensus can be wrong, and is on occasion wrong, but the word "frequently" is an extreme exaggeration. The only way to say it is frequently wrong without lying is to acknowledge the degrees to which it is "wrong", and to understand the context of what it means to be "wrong". If I tell you the next town over is 8 miles away would you say I'm wrong because the next town over is actually 7.98672 miles away? Similarly, due to our never ending learning we will make general progress each day toward being more accurate than the day before even if only by tiny degrees. Would you say every day that we were wrong yesterday but we are right today?

3) "Scientists are just as capable of bias as anyone else"
- This is exactly why real scientists will have their work and findings peer reviewed and scrutinized for malpractice or bias. A scientist, or let's be generous and say a group of scientists, may be biased and allow it to affect their work, but it is never the case that the entire scientific field they operate in will be biased as well, let alone share their specific biases. It is always wise to consider the sources of your information and triple check the information against other sources. When reasonable it is always wise to listen to any opposition to the information you are working under to keep an open mind and not let yourself become too confident that you can not be wrong.

The scientific method has come a long way. We know far more than any old sources could have possibly known in their time periods. Louis Pasteur was mocked, but the part you gloss over is the fact that his theories were found to be very well founded once they were investigated. It doesn't matter how he was treated when he revealed his never before considered theories, what matters is that he was heard and his ideas were tested.

This entire video is a rather disgusting mischaracterization of the scientific method and a subtle attack on the credibility of the scientific consensus. I wonder what biased motives might be behind such a video?

"Now we know better, or at least we think we do!" - great line!
Some things we are (currently) not capable to prove wrong, that's why we think they are true.

Great video, true science is about open discourse and debate. It is about curiosity and always questioning the status quo. Never arrive at the answer but rather it is a framework of eternal exploration and evolution of knowledge. Where science becomes stagnant it dies and becomes religion. Religion and science as such, have always been at conflict. At late the religion mindset has entered into science saying have faith and stop questioning. Censorship and the abolition of open debate is religion, it is never science. Science is the basis of wisdom and wisdom is defined as the nexus where human and divine wisdom coexist. The wise man knows he is a fool and the fool knows he is wise. The fool ends discussion with “There’s no point in discussing this more. The science is settled.” End of debate! Death to the scientific method! ¡Viva la Revolución!

Great work, great graphics and flow. I have no clue how I discovered your channel, glad I did.

From my experience the people that say "the science is settled' are not well informed, only msm headline junkies. They are the kind of people that only discover a fraction of something and then think they know everything about it without looking at any contrary information or digging any further, and are not willing to learn anything further that counters their already deeply held beliefs on that certain subject.

You can split everything into two kinds infinitely. On this video, I would say the two kinds of people are, those that know the truth and those that are seeking the truth. Only one of which you can hold a conversation with.

TheBottom Line

Who says the science is settled? Science is designed to be open-minded and seek out flaws.

Science is far more open-minded where religion is set in their beliefs from thousands for years ago. Science gives room to grow where religion cannot. Pointing out how the science has been wrong won't prove anything about a religion.

Science is a liar sometimes!
