Therefore, scientists don’t have evidence. On the other hand, the FBI and energy department have tons of evidence for all to behold. It’s obvious!” He’s at it again in the quarantine. I have him on ignore, but I just had to look at what @Jackmannii was replying to. Not only does @Magiver not bother to read any of the papers or at least referencing articles showing evidence that points to a wet market origin. He conflates ‘theory’ with ‘opinion’ when talking about science. I thought they taught hypothesis and theory in K-12.
