I Do Agree With Karl Popper… and this is not an accurate reflection of his philosophy #popperrant #herewegoagainhttps://twitter.com/wgervais/status/1221838652201824256 …

Popper argued that we could never know (for sure) that a theory was true; this doesn't mean, and I don't think Popper argued, "they are absolutely certain to be false". They might be true, we just don't know.

Popper compares science to climbing a mountain in the fog; we might have reached the peak, but we can't be sure.

So we have no reason to believe (nothing could establish for sure) that a theory *is true*; but we do have reason to prefer it to the alternatives (because it makes more predictions, that have been tested, and passed).

So it is not "unscientific" or "arbitrary" to choose evolution over creation.

But passing tests doesn't increase the probability that a theory is true. Newton's theory of gravity passed lots of tests, but that didn't increase its probability of being true. Einstein showed that the probability of Newton's theory being true had been zero all along.

Also, when Popper said that better theories are 'less probable', he meant that they make richer, more detailed, more surprising, risker, more easily falsified predictions – not that they are "less likely to be correct".

Popper was proposing a completely different way of thinking about science. That his philosophy doesn't comport with preconceived notions of science – such that it seems insane, ridiculous, absurd, irrational – is no reason to reject it. <ends>

‘Popper was proposing a completely different way of thinking about science.’ - almost no academic philosopher notices or acknowledges this. They try to fit him into their own framework (certainty, induction, etc), when Popper rejects all their assumptions. https://twitter.com/mizroba/status/1075257656326131712?s=21 …https://twitter.com/mizroba/status/1075257656326131712 …
