The difference is that we respect the word of scientists because they're experts in the field. If we wanted to, we could recreate the tests to achieve the same results they did. The same cannot be said about religious faith.

  • Great answer... Instead of being condescending, how about you explain your position.

    Science is a broad and abstract field. By definition, anyone who can use the scientific method or use some system of observation to come to conclusions/gain knowledge is a scientist. Just engaging in the act of science doesn't make you an expert. Just like how scribbling Crayolas on a piece of paper doesn't make you an expert artist. It's just makes you an artist. Sorry if I came off as condescending.

  • I would hardly consider a science enthusiast or amateur scientist an actual scientist. An actual scientist is extremely well-studied in their field.

    Just because you think that doesn't make it true. You can pick and choose who is and isn't a scientist.

    A doctor isn't a scientist. And you clearly have no idea how the formal education system works.

  • My favorite is "What do you call someone who graduates from Medical School with a C average.....Doctor."

    You can get a PhD in any field, not just science. You should probably stop replying since you can't really hold a consistent series of replies.

    I'm a college student as well, and somehow I doubt you're in college based on the replies you've given. Also, replying in regards to scientist who have obtained Doctorates doesn't even contradict my initial statement. If anything it reinforces the fact that not all scientists are experts in their field.
