Science IS debate. You make an assertion and back it with logic and evidence. Your opponent makes a counter assertion an hopefully has logical reasoning and evidence to back their claim. Science evolves through the filter (natural selection) of logic and evidence. Hypotheses that canot survive logic and evidence perish; those that can, propagate
Your Lamarckian Maven is invited to debate her proposition. I will do it alone, or if you will allow, I will invite my rational friends.
This is what you think science is?

You think there are “opponents” in science? Is it some kind of game to you? Do you not know real scientists are all allies in the search for the truth of the nature of reality?
