![Guide to the different ways people deny science and scientific consensus. [960x960 - 78KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Fd5wG1.jpg){kind=link}
We’ve come to a consensus that cold temperatures will freeze water into ice.
That isn't science. That's just knowledge of the natural world. Science is the PURSUIT OF THE DISCOVERY of that knowledge, not the knowledge itself. The knowledge itself often turns out to be entirely wrong, after all, such as the long time during which Ptolemy's geocentric ephemeris was replaced by a heliocentric one. In no way was the original consensus correct about the nature of the Solar System in comparison to the current understanding. And the current understanding of the Solar System could be overturned at any moment in the system we once knew as "Science."
No, what we have in 2021 is a modern version of Lysenkoism. Fauci is Lysenko.

That isn't science. That's just knowledge of the natural world. Science is the *PURSUIT OF THE DISCOVERY* of that knowledge, not the knowledge itself. The knowledge itself often turns out to be entirely wrong, after all, such as the long time during which Ptolemy's geocentric ephemeris was replaced by a heliocentric one. In no way was the original consensus correct about the nature of the Solar System in comparison to the current understanding.
