Was going to say exactly that, not all lead came from radioactive decay. So this kind of ruins their debunk, Earth's age has been measured by the amount of lead.

Let's also not forget that Scientists are also humans. Humans with their own beliefs and biases which do get transferred into studies. Peer review can help reduce that but since peers are also humans with their own biases, but also common biases shared amongst humans it's not bulletproof either.

There will always be some level of bias which clouds judgement, or makes you see/think things that aren't objectively true, sometimes it comes with good intention, others not so much. It's always there though, and probably always will be. The key to good science is making it as minimal as possible.

I mean those things didn't change, it was just about how research was manipulated by money and human biases.

Petrolium is made from ancient algae and plants, not dinosaurs.

It's only science if you're willing to accept the conclusion the observations lead you to even if they prove your idea wrong, because the point of science is to learn and gain understanding, and that is done by being wrong about things and investigating to find the correct answer.

It's no longer science if you're not willing to accept the conclusions because they prove your idea false, which ultimately is the problem that happens with science deniers, they are unwilling to accept being wrong.

Good point, though it still won't melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).

It won't float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

Edit: Melts, doesn't sublimate, still won't melt all at once though.

I can do at least 45 seconds up to a full minute.

This is science memes, what about this post do you find similar to egg_irl?
