This is condescending as shit. I have a neuroscience degree. I am a scientist too. I never said it was impartial I said it’s actual evidence of which wiccanism has none
Your making the same argument that fundamentalists use for anti vaccination. Just because there is always going to be bias doesn’t mean scientifically proven things are equally valid to things with no scientific evidence. I like how your earlier post condescendingly assumes I’m not a scientist and then states thingy veiled reactionary anti intellectualism. Science is biased as fuck. I never said it wasn’t. But there are actual ways to show something is true scientifically using the scientific method. That is until it’s disproven. Which most things are. However until that point of where it’s disproven you can’t just shake it off and away by saying since everything is biased you can’t assume anything scientifically that is proven is inherently true

They certainly are related; I used to do the exact same thing you're doing now and argue for sciences inherent superiority on the internet, but then I realized that didn't actually do anything. People disagree with science, and in a democracy, you can't just peer-review away their democratic power to block science-based policy.
You are welcome to roll up to a WV coal mining city with a 10 ft stack of papers on global warming and a worldview that says that you know better than everyone else and announce that scientists have decided that all the people there are going to be laid off but that's okay because we'll help you retrain as Uber drivers. But then, they're just gonna vote for the guy firing his rifle into the air shouting "FREEEDOMM" and we're all gonna die.
Also, my argument isn't really about bias, you should look into those links a bit it's a very fascinating look into the underdetermination of scientific theories.

This isn't actually how things work.
