Description
All throughout history what has been thought to be scientific fact has been altered. People have always been wrong. It used to be an accepted fact that margarine was better for you than butter and anything with corn syrup was bad for you and that another ice age would be here in a decade or we'd be underwater by now. Now people are STILL thinking we're going to be underwater in twenty years (again XD), butter is better for you than margarine becasue of transfats, and corn syrup isn't bad for you because it's natural. Only a few of the many things that have been once facts and have been since proven wrong. There many other things. EVEN SCIENTISTS WITH PROVEN FACTS CAN BE WRONG. GET OVER IT.I personally prefer to believe in things that I've experienced personally. I don't care if someone else doesn't believe in it. Just know that just because someone or a textbook tells you something is true doesn't mean it is.

Facts are always right. That's theories, hon. I know this stamp is old, but I couldn't not take the bait.

Says the person who commented on a harmless stamp just to insult the maker. If you don't like the stamp don't use it. Why waste effort to insult someone just because you don't agree with them?

Oh, I just wanted to point out the fact that you are, indeed, an idiot. Science isn't always right? Well, have fun being really sick in a few decades and hopelessly praying that Jesus will help you! It's falling upon deaf ears, my friend.

Jesus? You think I'm a Christian? XD I thought the point of this stamp was that I don't blindly believe everything I'm told. I never said all science is fake, I'm simply saying that humans don't know everything and there's plenty of bullshit people try to feed you that is simply wrong and considered scientific fact. People consider one thing to be a scientific fact, then disprove it a few years later. Such as that margarine/butter example I gave in the description. I never meant to give the impression that I was one of those people who think the world is only six thousand years old. XD
Try not to jump to conclusions so quickly in your haste to insult people. Or better yet if you don't agree with someone simply don't use the stamp. Going out of your way to make someone feel bad for no reason other than an opinion different from your own is a habit of the Christians you apparently don't like. You don't know everything and sometimes you just might wind up making yourself look like an idiot.

Research has shown that Margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, I don't know about ya'll but I would not put that shit in my body.

this stamp makes a great point. i like science, it's interesting to me, but it's not like i 100% depend on it to answer all my questions. science can only go so far. some people act like science is the only dpendable thing you can trust. i'm like, "why???" lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. XD Granted a lot of it is right, but still, so many "facts" keep changing.

Don't believe the Corn Industry's propaganda. Corn Sugar is not the same as cane sugar. Your body does not procress it the same, and it give you a high change of diabetes and liver disease.
And butter isn't better than you than margarine because of transfats, it's better because your body knows how to process butter. No so much all the chemicals in margarine. But depending on your situation, margarine can be better if you have bad cholesterol.

Huh. I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

Why don't we just throw science out the window since it's not right at all. Or bother teaching it since it's going to be wrong in the end anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good question. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And why bother trusting science if they're always proving themselves wrong! In fact, next time you need medical attention, in a show of defiance against science, don't go to a hospital. You know since medicine is a science.

I can't afford a hospital anyway. XD

Lolz, textbooks are written by experts who have spent their entire lives experiencing what they discuss. XD
You don't believe in Global Warming? o_O What the heck!?
We already had our second Ice Age. XD It was back in the 1800's.
The point of science is that instead of harboring on ancient beliefs whether they are true or not, science looks at those beliefs and sifts the fact from the fiction. It's constantly doing this; and it renews itself when it figures out it was on the wrong track. Certain things, though, are completely provable by anybody with the right equipment, such as memory loss and how combustible the air around us truly is. 
The most interesting things happen when science changes. For example, we are now beginning to discredit Einstein's theory of relativity because it doesn't take into account subatomic particles. But instead of saying that even though it has been disproved it's still correct, scientists are at work fixing his theory so that it will be correct again.
And if you're against textbooks, then don't send your children to school. And when they die early in life, lacking the nurture and social environment they needed to survive, I'm sure you'll be proud and happy, knowing that your children didn't listen to anything you or anybody else said, just their own gut instinct.
What's really hilarious is that whenever you get angry about an ethical topic, you make a stamp for it. XD I should make you angry about more things, then you'd get better with stamps. Look at the edges; the lack of transparency can make stamps unpleasant to look at.

And for your information, when I have kids, I'll raise them how I wish and that is none of your business. THey aren't going to die early in life just because they believe in something that isn't proven by science. Quit disrespecting me and my beliefs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not disrespecting your beliefs, I'm saying that if you think textbooks are so bad it's awfully likely you aren't thinking of sending your kids to school. School is an important part in the intellectual and social development of kids, as well as an important part of preparation for the working world.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think textbooks are bad I just know that the information is always changing and so it isn't always accurate. Staying in this world would by law require my children to get schooling of some kind, in which case I would either have to send them to school or homeschool them. EIther way they'd have to learn a certain curriculum. But you can learn faith and knowledge at the same time. And if they choose the same path you did then fine. I choose to believe in magic and spirits and all that fun stuff.

I'm not discussing beliefs, though, I'm talking about information. 
The fact that things are always changing is why they publish new textbooks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well since you're admitting that textbooks don't tell you what's 100% right, then will you at least admit that sometimes I'm right and know what I'm talking about?

Admittedly some things are true. THat doesn't mean all things are. -_- And some things I've learned (what we argued about last night) I've spent my entire life experiencing and yet you not only refuse to believe in them (which I have no problem with) but you seem intent on shoving your disbelief in them down my throat like those Christians do with God. I'm not against textbooks I just know not all the information is accurate because it's always changing.
Back in the 70's I believe, people were expecting another ice age to hit in the next ten years or so (or so I've heard from someone who lived in that time period) and in the 80's they were expecting us to be underwater right now. I don't really believe in Global Warming any more than I believe in terminator. I believe it's possible and likely to happen, but not really an immediate danger.
THe reason I make stamps when you tick me off is becuse when we argue about it you don't seem to listen to me very much. (Your girlfriend had a point there...) You just keep talking and talking as if the more you talk the more right you are. Making a stamp is my way of saying what I need to say where you can't interrupt me before I'm finished.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lolz, I do listen. But all you and she do is repeat stuff. XP
The whole point is that it's always changing, always making itself more and more accurate.
Also, your "entire life experience" is what we in Psychology call an anecdote.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I repeat stff cuz it doesn't seem like you're listening. -_-
I don't care what you call it, I have experiences that I know are real. You had some experiences too that you now doubt. -_- I used to think our CONNECTION moments disappearing were because of me somehow. But I think it's because you refuse to believe in what creates the CONNECTION. Do you even believe I'm your guardian angel anymore? Or that you were once a dinosaur in a past life? Or anything about our ancestries that we discovered together? Or are you just abandoning everything we discovered back then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Discovered, or mistakenly assumed? o.o I'm older and wiser now, and so I know better what I was false about before and what I am correct about now. The guardian angel relationship is a feeling of guardianship, a secure attachment and bond between two people similar to a parent's bond with their child. The CONNECTION was a correlation; if you really think about it, we've had as much coincidences and similar thinking with each other as we've had with everybody else. So the CONNECTION exists. But so does the CONNECTION with the person who sits next to me in Pre-Calculus. And the CONNECTION with my Chemistry teacher. 
There you have it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Our CONNECTION was more than just similar thoughts and you know it. -_- And you once believed that my guardian angel powers kept you safe during several dangerous moments.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A belief is different from the truth, my dear.
And it was just similar thoughts. o______o

No it wasn't. Our minds touched sometimes. I remember you feeling like you were in some kind of dreamlike state or something (been so long I can't remember exactly -_-) and I felt like we were hugging sort of. I helped your headaches go away with that.

i thought the point of "fats" is that they are true?

But the thing is that facts change so often. THings that are considered facts end up disproven at some point in the future.

mostly, i guess.
