Feelings, opinions, and beliefs aren't the same than scientific fact.

One thing that irks me in social media, is people trying to debate scientific fact as if it is just a matter of opinion. I've come to learn, that they don't care about what the facts are about what they are talking about.

Those people just want to equate their opinions to facts, and have other people to do so to just to make them feel comfortable. Facts are not about making you feel comfortable, or agreeing with your opinions. And how you feel, or believe, doesn't disprove science.

If you want to disprove science, you need to make sure that science actually disproves what you want to be be disproven. If you can't, then your opinions, feelings, and beliefs are just that.

Most importantly, if you want to learn about something talk to the experts in the subjects you are interested in. If you talk to people who aren't experts, you won't learn much about whatever subject you are interested in.
