@neiltyson but, oh, the uneducated people who claim to be smarter than scientists. I'm surrounded by them...

@texrat@neiltyson They're smarter because they haven't been tainted by "vaccines". -
@CarmenCrincoli@neiltyson ack, had it not been for brain-stunting vaccines I could have been an intellectual!

@neiltyson You have a fairly loose definition of the word “know”. Most people who “know” the Earth’s age &c are using a trust-chain. -
@seanstickle@neiltyson Yeah. Let's dissect the meaning of know so then no one can claim to "know" anything. Then everything is plausible. -
@SentientApe@neiltyson Well, that’s one option. Or we draw a clearer distinction between knowledge and trust in others’ knowledge. -
@seanstickle@sentientape@neiltyson If that were the case, we could claim very very little knowledge. Also, define "we". -
@RealBlackJester
@SentientApe@neiltyson I know very little. I know the Pythagorean theorem and some such things, as I can derive them.

@neiltyson A question I'm asked frequently is, "why haven't other apes evolved?" Is it something homo-sapiens said?#thesethingstaketimeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson A great man once said "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." :)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I guess Dr. Ben Carson isn't a scientist. Though he has done more than you. -
@tonybalogna why are you hating on@neiltyson ? -
@librab103@neiltyson He pushes athiesm more than science education. 2/5th of scientists doubt evolution. -
@tonybalogna@librab103@neiltyson 2009 Pew poll: "Nearly all scientists (97%) say humans and other living things have evolved over time." -
@justinholson@librab103@neiltyson A) Pew poll is garbage, B) I should have clarified by saying doubt of the theory, not the idea. -
@tonybalogna@librab103@neiltyson Pew polled members of AAAS, world's largest general scientific society. Where does 2/5th come from? - 1 more reply
