Scientists do not question the concept of science. They challenge results of tests by performing new ones to replicate the proposed results.
I think maybe you need to retake some high school classes
No, and neither do people who question the results, which is, in fact, what most "anti-science" people do.
Skepticism is part of the scientific method. Blind faith is not.
Skepticism is the literal precursor to the scientific method, and that's where you're stopping. There is no science at the skepticism step.
You're basically saying, "Gravity isn't real because I don't see proof."
A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.
Good, so we agree on something then. No skepticism = no science.
Strawman. I didn't say that.
Yes, and some of the people in the "anti-science" community ARE doing that. And the rest of them are conducting a self-experiment on what happens if you ignore all the science...
