TL;DR
Is science "objective" knowledge?
I think this question is important so posting it here. To cut a long story short there is a person in our country who is totally anti-science and anti-Western citilization. He says science is a big lie.

What mystery? As far as I can tell, science says something, and someone anti-science says something else. One is wrong. Why is this a mystery?

Is it true that "the sun going around Earth and the Earth going around the sun are just two observations. None is better than the other. "?
 
Of course not.

This thread is closed. On PF we discuss mainstream science only. Our aim is not to debunk every anti-science nut on the internet, but simply to educate about mainstream science. This aim is not accomplished by debunking crackpots.
