Even this one isn’t clear. Do you mean “trust me” as in “trust the science” and “try it yourself” as in “trust Jesus and see for yourself”. Or “trust me” as in the Catholic Church “don’t read the Bible I’ll tell you what it says” and “try it yourself” as in “verify my results”.
Exactly. Now you know why we’ve been arguing over it for a millennia.
To be completely transparent. I was referring to religion “Trust me” and science “Don’t believe me, try it yourself”.
Because humans have bias, and depending on what side of the fence they are on, they will read it how they want to read it.
One could make an argument for both.
The statement is true though. One is about loyalty and faith through blind trust, and the other is faith through trust that they followed the scientific method. Both have “published papers”. Both have some sort of verified results. Only one is real science of hypothesis, experiment, observation, conclusion. If it fails that test, it’s lumped in with Scientology.
