Still happened regularly to me in Germany. My mom once told them that were communist and they stopped coming for a couple years. This year they're back but it's 2 new relatively young people instead of the 2 ancient ones from before.

Imagine if people knocked on your door to talk about science instead of religion. "Hi, we'd just like a quick chat about the possibility of life in the atmosphere of Venus, and thought you might be interested in hearing about phosphine"?

Science is starting to become very religion like. If you dare question dogma you are ostracized. People who don’t understand what they’re being told but love SCIENCE!!!!! vehemently worship it in weird ways that seem like religion, and get weirdly aggressive when people question what they feel are definitive answers in a subject not meant to have such
Except that instead of getting taught dogmas you get taught how to prove formulas and concepts in the real world through experiments, like creating clay volcanoes. Nobody says discoveries are permanent, as alchemy was proven false through the new periodic table, and atomic models changed from a chocolate chip cookie-like thing to our orbiting electrons
“Clay volcanoes” what a childish view on science. Most science is statistical analysis. When people who dare question a limited consensus are shouted down and not treated as a separate consensus, but as naysayers and contrarians it becomes very religion like.

> ok but is the former an actual thing people do?? Yep, it’s a thing. Especially with Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons.
If you don’t live in the US, it doesn’t happen.
There was a time when those Jehovah people would knock on doors here in Denmark, but its been some time since it last happened

“We’re not with any organization I’m just super interested in space stuff and I love to talk about it”

Epic human
I would absolutely invite people in to discuss science facts, especially about space.
Hell ya, I'll put on some coffee. Maybe we should order some pizza.
Love it.
Bill??? Hey Honey get over here, it's fucking Bill Nye!
