Aurum's Homeschool SiteExperience learning the way it should be….

Hi and welcome to our homeschool information site.
Are you looking for Science Training products?
Ebay can be the best place to find great prices on your homeschooling needs.
Many times, families may have used a curriculum just for one year and no longer need it. This is an excellent way to get quality, good condition curriculum at great prices.

How can science be true when you need years of training to understand it?

Surely we can doubt science and our opinions are just as valid as people who spent years learning it?
Manuell!!! I speak English!!! I learned it from a booook!

BECAUSE SCIENCE IS NOT SIMPLE. IT IS BASED ON FOUNDATIONS WHICH BUILD UPON EACH OTHER. IT IS BASED ON DISPROVING THEORIES USING HYPOTHESIS TESTING. YOU MUST LEARN THESE MECHANISMS BEFORE YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY MAKE SCIENTIFICALLY BASED CHOICES.

HOWEVER, THE MORE COMPETENT A SCIENTIST YOU BECOME, THE MORE YOU LOSE RESPECT FOR MANKIND AND ITS WIDESPREAD STUPIDITY. YOU DEVELOP A GOD COMPLEX.

SCIENCE IS ALSO BASED ON DOUBT AND PESSIMISM. SCIENTISTS REALIZE 99% OF HUMANS ARE FULL OF BS FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GAINS. ALSO, MOST HUMANS ARE JUST STUPID AND JUST WANNA GET LAID, BUY A HOUSE, AND DRIVE A NICE CAR. THEN THEY DIE. SCIENTISTS HAVE THE INSIDE SCOOP.

SCIENCE AND LOGIC DISPELS LIES, HERESAY, AND UNFOUNDED BELIEFS. THE MORE SCIENCE ADVANCES, THE MORE RELIGION FADES. PEOPLE USE RELIGION TO FILL IN THE BLANKS. NOTICE HOW PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN ME NEVER HAVE A UNIFIED UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S OK WITH ME BECAUSE I DON'T NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME. JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU AND YOU WON'T GET FLOODED.

I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR SCIENTISTS. SOMEDAY THEY MAY FIGURE ME OUT. I HAVE TO WORK HARD TO STAY A FEW STEPS AHEAD OF THEM.
