And does Eric Lerner have a point? Recently, my dear colleagues, Dr. Anastasia Bendebury and Dr. Michael Shilo DeLay joined me at UCSD to discuss how scientists come to conclusions about the world, the role of belief in science, and what we can learn from modern controversies in cosmology. Dr. Anastasia Bendebury and Dr. Michael Shilo DeLay are scientists and explorers who host the weekly podcast DemystifySci. Each week, they interview a new theorist about the ideas that will rewrite our understanding of nature. Join us as we explore the complexities of science and the scientific method! Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Should we believe in science? 00:07:07 The nature of science and truth 00:11:31 What is the scientific method? 00:17:17 Controversies in modern cosmology 00:33:27 Does Eric Lerner have a point? 00:35:08 On paradigm shifts 00:41:01 Back to the scientific method 00:43:09 Outro — Additional resources: ➡️ Check out DemystifySci: 💻 Website: https://demystifysci.com/ ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/demystifysci 📝 Get one month of Snipd Premium for free with this link: https://get.snipd.com/Cx7S/brianSnipd Snipd lets you take Smart Notes 🧠 with AI 💡 — it’s my favorite podcast player 😀 ! 📢 Ownership of your health starts with AG1.

0:00.0	In recent years, there's been a growing sense of skepticism about science.
0:03.7	The question arises, is the skepticism justified or should we maintain our faith in science and scientists?
0:10.0	And how exactly do we do that? Arri at conclusions based on incomplete or inaccurate data?
0:15.6	I have the pleasure of discussing these questions and more of two young philosophers,
0:19.1	Anastasia and Michael, host of the Demystified Science Podcast, where they explore the edge of what's known
0:24.8	to the world's best brains.
0:26.6	Join us as we take a delightful journey into the world of faith, science, and scientists,
0:31.4	providing an accessible gateway to understanding the complexities of human

1:07.4	And it seems like it might make sense to start with something that we've probably heard
1:12.4	a lot about over the course of the last few years which is
1:16.0	this idea that we should believe in science or trust the science and I feel like that
1:20.9	comes with a lot of baggage because as scientists we know that you have to believe in the process but not necessarily in the theories that come out of it.
1:33.0	And so I wonder how you're processing that
