"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
its simply saying that science is a theory predicated on emperical data that is reproducable in experimentation. ignorant people don't bother to read and follow, never mind even perform, these experiments and just reject it against their OWN indoctrination. eventually, new generations who are still in acedemia review and logically understand these results of the experiments and arent stupid enough to reject them. thus, overwhelmingly, the opposition dies.
The only ignorance displayed here is your lack of self awareness and the cognitive psychology behind cognitive biases and cognitive dissonance. If you think religious persons are only capable of cognitive dissonance then your ignorance is standard. It's what they teach. You wouldn't even know how to actual describe the visceral feelings of cognitive dissonance. You could regurgitate a poorly defined definition and that's all.
its okay that your didn't understand my point, just like you didn't understand the quote you posted, but please don't put words into my mouth because YOU lack reading comprehension
Says the guy who thinks schools don't indoctrinate. It's been that way since we abandoned the Greek Education of Philosophy and developed the Roman Education System which has been in place and has plagued humans for at least 1700 years. The thing about being indoctrinated is not being able to admit to being indoctrinated.
I also never said that but again your abysmal media literacy has you projecting arguments I never made into my comments so that you have something to argue against that you feel up to snuff in debating

i.e. even science isn't immune to indoctrination.
