If it's a new 'gap' that hasn't been discussed before, why not? Keeps you on your toes. (and if the thread's got no discussion on something new or interesting, one doesn't need to even read it).Originally posted by arivero

A science debunker is someone who actively seeks to discredit or disprove scientific theories, ideas, or claims. They may use scientific evidence or logical reasoning to challenge commonly accepted beliefs or theories.
Science debunkers exist to promote critical thinking and to challenge unfounded or false claims in the scientific community. They aim to separate fact from fiction and to promote accurate and evidence-based information.
Some common tactics used by science debunkers include fact-checking, using scientific evidence to disprove claims, conducting experiments or studies to test theories, and using logical reasoning to challenge faulty arguments.
No, science debunkers are not always right. Like all humans, they are subject to biases and may make mistakes. However, they typically use evidence and logical reasoning to support their arguments, making their claims more reliable than those without evidence or reasoning.
To become a science debunker, you should have a strong understanding of scientific principles and methods, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to challenge commonly accepted beliefs. You can also stay updated on current scientific research and claims, and actively fact-check information before accepting it as true.
