I'm trying to tell you not to waste your energy on that. You're already worked up to the point where you're resorting to personal insults.

What on earth isn't about personal preference? Left wing or right wing, hot or not, good or evil. Most of the time it's subjective opinions we argue about, not actual facts. Facts can't be argued against because they are inherently true.

Don't tell me what to do because it's my opinion and you're wasting your energy on it, after all it's down to personal preference isn't it?

You're right, I'm wasting energy on a lost cause, good day.

Science! Science is truths about the natural order of things found from repeated trials. I try not to argue with science.

Even science has a lot of subjectivity too. Science is only true in the context of now, what we consider 'fact' now may be completely ruled out in 1000 years. The context of now is only established because certain scientists subjectively chose certain hypotheses over others. There's a infinite amount of hypotheses that could be tested, so the only reason we've got gravity and not quageldorf (just made that shit up) is because it was decided at one point to investigate that instead.

Gravity is an observable phenomenon, larger bodies of mass pull smaller ones towards it(smaller ones have gravity too, but its negligible in contrast to the larger's one usually). If we had quageldorf instead of gravity it would just be a different label for the same thing. But I agree with what you mentioned about scientific theories. But how you mentioned scientists pick which theory is the mainstay is through logic and the data they are able to collect with their technological capabilities.

Maybe one day we'll develop a way to look at particles that we can't even comprehend now and it shows millions of tiny invisible bears pulling particles to one another and we believe that instead of gravity, point being nothing is set in stone.
