what non sequitur? Liberals believe in the theory of evolution, but the mechanism of the theory of evolution is survival of the fittest, which is objectionable to every liberal that I’ve ever encountered, maybe even you, and they want the government to stop it from happening.

The step where much of modern “science” fails, but gets glossed over and ignored.
(Which means the scientific method is not being followed.)
Leftists are the masters of the science of propaganda, brainwashing and deception.
Think of it this way. Bob believes in the chemical process that takes place when something burns up. However, Bob is a fireman who tries to put out wildfires. Is Bob in denial or just a hypocrite? Or is there no connection at all?
Yes, with math you can prove a theorem, so that, barring some flaw in the underlying assumptions of mathematics, it can be taken as 100% correct.
With science, a theory can only be said to be “well established”. Such a theory would seem to be the best explanation for observed phenomenon, and would also have made predictions that were verified by experiments or observation. However, even the best established theories are subject to being revised, or thrown out completely, if new experiments or observations raise problems.
True, we have whole branches of “science” now that simply cannot ever follow the scientific method.
I like to refer to those as “speculative sciences”, because when they cannot answer a question with actual science, they simply speculate to fill in the gaps. Really, they should be classed with philosophic pursuits, rather than scientific pursuits.
Should, but won’t.
Some of it, like “global warming” or whatever they’re calling it now, have so much invested in it that the very facts themselves don’t matter.
It is very much like a cult.
Wonder when the human sacrifices to gaia begin.
(Otherwise known as “population control” to appease gaia.)
The left ignores science about abortion since a DNA test prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the mother and preborn child are separate, individual human beings.
Depends on what you value. if you value the snail darter, you’ll try to stop its extinction caused by a fitter species - homo sapiens.
Did LBJ's "War On Poverty" end up making the lives of the most of the people it was intended to help a lot worse? Sure, but it doesn't matter. The Dems were trying to help those people. That's what counted.
Apparently, the medical axiom for doctors as far as treating patients "first do no harm" is not known by liberals. Because every time they step in with a program, they make things worse.
It used to be "All gave some; some gave all"; but these post-Marxist entitlement morons not only don't give any; they take more than their share and refuse to do the math.
Liberals will readily agree that all creatures evolved including humans. But they will then say that although all creatures evolved, and some members of the same species are different in physical attritutes and mental abilities, humans are somehow excluded from these evolutionary traits.
For leftists, all humans are exactly equal in physical and mental traits. That is scientifically stupid. It's patently obvious that there are many groups of humans that differ from one another in physical and mental abilities.
Liberals have done weird mental gymnastics to "prove" that human embryos are in fact not human life. It basically defies belief and science.
What they should admit, as does Camille Paglia, that abortion is barbaric. Paglia is pro-abortion, but she doesn't try to make demonstrably false statements as to whether human embryos are human life or not.

PING!
Math is hard, science is easy (for a liberal). All they need to settle science is take a vote.
It's right up there with "liberals are tolerant and conservatives are bigots" and "Democrats supported the Civil Rights movement and Republicans were the segregationists."
Science is not about conclusions, beliefs, consensus: it is about finding the exceptions to the best description available, and revising said description to encompass all the ‘facts’.
Playing with the factual data to achieve agreement with a pet idea is the opposite of science, in fact, it is the political practice of altering perception to achieve an agenda.
I agree with you 100%.
If evolution were allowed to operate at any reasonably efficient level, Transi/Prog/Lib/Commie/Democrats would be extinct within 20 years.
Perhaps they know that.
