The internet's relation to science: a brief summary

[seriousfic]

Scientists: Life began this long ago and in this way.

Internet: Woo! Yeah! That's what should be taught in schools! Anyone who disagrees is an idiot!

Scientists: Man's pollution is causing global climate change.

Internet: Of course! Science, fuck yeah! Science, it's just awesome! Bill Nye!

Scientists: To ensure this cosmetics product is safe, we need to test it on animals.

Internet: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. We believed you about the origin of all life, but I think we're the experts when it comes to cute animals.

I always thought the net's reaction was more "We believe you, we just don't care. Come up with something you DON'T need to test on cute animals"
