I think science influences our worldviews, for example with evolution, thinking that beings evolved from something else or that life appeared out of non-living things,
I am not an expert on the history of science, but I think that if people in the past based their worldviews on the level of science at the time, many would have had a mistaken worldview, so the track record for basing your worldview off of that isn't good, that's why I think it is good to study evolution, but not good to center it as a core of your worldview,
To give an example of this happening in political science @Logiko , unless I misunderstood or what I am saying about this is wrong, Marx and Engels thought that society progressed through stages in the modes of production, first in primitive communism, then in feudalism, then in capitalism, then in communism, and that is mistaken, but they had come to think that because they had a good understanding of how capitalism appeared, but very little data on anthropology,
Why it's not good to have world views based on it?
A theory in science is well tested. And, the best thing about science is as data and new observations keep on coming, all theories get subjected to repeated testing and updation if necessary.
So, having a view on something which stood test of time, countless experiments, observations and data is actually good.
Take Einstein theory of general relativity..till this day scientists put this theory to test and it always prevail

The reason I say it is not good to base your worldview on it is that worldviews based on the science of a specific period have a bad trackrecord, unless I am wrong about that, and I gave an example of the one that I am most familiar with, in political science, the idea that socirty moves through determined modes of production, which may be called historical materialism,
But about the theory of relativity, I heard that there are some problems in science because some theories in math and physics do not match up withe ach other or contradict each other but work well as a model to describe how what they are focused on works, and I heard that one of those theories that have some issues working with each other is the theory of relativity, I will fact check if that's true and you can look it up too if you want to,
For example, the statement, evolution is a factual phenomenon, may seem true now, but it may not hold up to future discoveries, at least not with the current understanding of evolution, or not the present idea of evolution,

That's why I said, theories which stood test of TIME - theories are updated if required with time if more evidences pile up.
Also, on theory of relativity - it doesn't go well with quantum mechanics.
However, that doesn't imply theory of relativity is wrong. It works perfectly well on bigger scale and we know it because of techs we used based on it and the countless tests it passed with most recent one being gravitational wave.
Quantum mechanics works perfectly well on smaller scale

When did I say you don’t have the right? You guys are just mega obsessed with him, which is pretty pathetic considering he advocates for policies that are not even advantageous for the economies of your respective countries.
suck his dick all you want, I’m just calling out cucked behavior.

Let me blunt with you - you are being a crybaby and salty since Trump won and even when posts aren't targeted at you, you can't hold yourself from making remarks on the users who are supporting trump.
And, in this exchange only you are coming across as pathetic
You are a migrant yourself so perhaps you think that any outsider who talks about Trump is looking for green card but people are sufficient enough in their place that they don't need to migrate to America
Mind your business and if you can't then stay away from internet... softie

Am I the softie? You’re the one getting offended here. I am free to interject and call out your behavior if I feel like it.
If you feel the need to talk about a guy 24/7 when he isn’t even your direct leader then I think that’s cucked behavior, and you probably are simply looking to be part of a group that will never accept you in the first place.
If you don’t want me to interact with you then that’s ok baldy, I wasn’t quoting you in the first place.

Then at least stop pretending you care about foreign policy and the Palestinian genocide in the first place. It’s clear that you will just project whatever you want him to believe onto him when he’s been clear about where he stands.
