Does it piss off anyone else when people unapologetically make science claims that are wildly incorrect then hold their ground as if they actually knew something about what they're claiming?
Like:
There's two kinds of evolution micro and macro, micro works but macro isn't real.
(There's only one kind of evolution and there's no evidence against it!)
Einstein was wrong about time dilation, there's only one time and it doesn't vary.
(Then why the F do we have to factor it in to make GPS work? Time passes faster on a GPS satellite then it does on earth!)
Reality is somehow a part of consciousness, quantum mechanics proves the law of attraction.
(Utter bullshit! A new way of claiming magical powers that no one possesses!)
I'm not even going into flat earth, alien DNA manipulation, or an insane number of other stupid shit arguments.
gee most of the folks i find making bad science mistakes just say evolution isn't real because they are not descended from monkeys (thus proving they have no idea what evolution is) or believe in the 10-second rule for dropping food on the floor!

We all know it's a 5-second rule.
@rogueflyer oh i am a bad scientist! i got the timing wrong!

I find them on here all the time. The main tip-off is the Looonnngg length of the post, and the BIGLY words used. Truth is usually easily succinctly phrased.
When you challenge them (for example asking for citation(s) of source(s), you either get hostility or deflection. What a waste of time for everybody involved!
