When one says something like “most scholars think x” or “the theory of y has not convinced many experts”, how is that actually determined? Are there polls conducted regarding different theories?

    If there are multiple entire scientific fields and industries that rely on the earth being billions and not thousands of years old for literally all of their work, then we can say “most scholars” believe Young Earth Creationism is wrong.

      Haha sure, it’s all a big conspiracy. There is some fuckery in some industries, no doubt. But that’s on the level of like individual medications for example and not all of germ-theory actually being wrong. 😂
