I don't think there is such a thing as "established science".
Established science refers to scientific knowledge, theories, or principles that have been extensively tested, repeatedly verified, and widely accepted by the scientific community. It encompasses findings that have been rigorously scrutinized through experiments, observations, peer reviews, and debates over time.For example, foundational concepts like the laws of thermodynamics, the theory of evolution, and the principles of genetics are considered established science. While scientific understanding can evolve as new evidence arises, established science represents the best current understanding based on a robust body of evidence and consensus among experts.
As usual, CHATGPT gives you the useless, childish answer it thinks you want. Just to pick up a small point: "debate" has no place in science. All scientific hypotheses are subject to mathematical or experimental disproof, and all scientific data is open for review.
Likewise the "theory of evolution" is a meaningless term coined by religious parasites and used by those who do not understand the business of science. Evolution is an observed phenomenon, not a theory. If there is no evidence of the existence of species A prior to a given date X, it must have either been created spontaneously at X or evolved from something else.
The exact origin of the term "theory of evolution" is difficult to pinpoint, as ideas about species changing over time predate its formal use. However, the term became widely recognized after Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. This book presented the theory of evolution by natural selection, which revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. While the term might have been used informally before, Darwin's work popularized it and solidified its association with the scientific concept of biological evolution.
Lots of what politicians, journalists and civilians called "established science" has been proved wrong over time. No big deal - it just means the term has no value.
Would someone like Einstein flourish in academia's "Publish or Perish"?Gregory Chaitin is a pioneering mathematician and computer scientist, renowned for founding algorithmic information theory. Gregory published his first groundbreaking paper at the age of 15 and has been a key figure at the Institute for Advanced Studies, contributing extensively to the fields of metabiology and complexity theory.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro01:20 - Lack of Scientific Progress06:22 - The Academic System12:03 - Crisis in ?Fundamental?

Haven't you heard about debate between Einstein and Bohr? Or Newton and Hooke?
Do you remember the famous images of the supermassive black holes in the centre of the galaxy M87 and our own galaxy the Milky Way that were taken by the Event Horizon Telescope? Well this month a team of researchers based in Japan, have released a paper claiming that they can?t reproduce an image with a ring-like structure with the same data of the Milky Way?s black hole, and instead get something that looks a bit more like a blob. On top of that they published a claim back in 2022 that they also couldn?t reproduce the black hole image for the M87* data as well. Now the Event Horizon Team have responded saying they think the Japanese group of researchers have got it wrong. So there?s a lot to unpack here, and this video is going to cover a lot of ground starting first with 1) A quick recap on what you?re seeing in these black hole images 2) How the Event Horizon Telescope works and how these images are constructed 3) What Miyoshi, Kato & Makino are claiming is wrong with the images, and 4) The Event Horizon Telescope team?s response and where that leaves us. 00:00 - Introduction02:44 - Ground News AD04:50 - A quick recap on the radio light you?re seeing in these black hole images07:19 - How the Event Horizon Telescope works (VLBI) and how these images are constructed10:08 - What Miyoshi, Kato & Makino are claiming is wrong with the images15:25 - The Event Horizon Telescope team?s response and where that leaves us 22:28 - Bloopers
What's the mature answer?

The object of a debate is to convince your audience of the rightness or wrongness of a statement by presenting opposing views and selected evidence. The object of scientific review is to examine the fit between all available evidence and hypothesis.
In the serene town of Duino, Italy, on September 5, 1906, physicist Ludwig Boltzmann took his own life. The reason was constant criticism for his belief in atoms?a concept most scientists of his era dismissed. Boltzmann was among the first to use atoms and molecules to explain the mysteries of thermodynamics?ideas that eventually formed the foundation of quantum mechanics. Despite this, he had to face massive criticism from his colleagues, mostly from Mach and Ostwald. Mach believed that since atoms could not be observed, they are not scientific theories. Shortly after his death, Boltzmann's ideas got widespread acceptance mostly due to the work of Einstein and Planck. 0:00 - 1:44 Intro1:44 - 2:50 Early life and education2:50 - 12:43 Boltzmann?s work on Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics12:43 - 20:17 Boltzmann's allies and rivals20:17 - 22:47 Death and Legacy.
The religious scum who opposed Darwin coined the term "theory of evolution" to cast doubt over any suggestion that the world was not created in seven days for the benefit of homo sapiens.
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence, observations, and experiments. It provides a framework for understanding and predicting phenomena, often integrating multiple hypotheses and laws that have been tested and confirmed.Key Aspects of a Theory:1. Explanatory Power: A theory explains why and how something happens. For instance, the theory of evolution explains how species change over time, and the theory of gravity explains how objects are attracted to each other.2. Based on Evidence: Theories are not mere guesses; they are built on repeated observations, data, and experimental results. For example, the germ theory of disease is based on substantial evidence showing that microorganisms cause illness.3. Testable and Falsifiable: A theory can be tested and potentially disproven by evidence. If new evidence contradicts it, scientists may revise the theory or develop a new one.4. Predictive Power: A strong theory can make accurate predictions about unknown or future phenomena. For example, the theory of general relativity predicts the behavior of objects in gravitational fields, which has been confirmed by observations.The Difference from Hypotheses and Laws:A hypothesis is an initial, testable statement or prediction. A theory, in contrast, is a well-developed explanation.A law describes a fundamental relationship in nature, often mathematically (e.g., Newton?s law of gravitation), but it doesn?t explain why that relationship exists ? which is where theories come in.In essence, a theory is a comprehensive and reliable model for understanding the natural world, refined through rigorous testing and evidence.
What's your evidence that the term "theory of evolution" was coined by religious persons?
