Not really. Denial of science is controversial.

"Science" as defined by people like you, people with an established orthodoxy to defend? Science is a method of enquiry, a tool, not an established philosophical prejudice like atheism or materialism.

Since you know so much about me, how do I define science? What orthodoxy do I have that requires defending?

Science is not in service to doubt

Sure it is. If you doubt, you ask questions and investigate. You should try it - investigate faulty memory, you'll learn something.

You are not investigating this effect

Lol. This from the guy who hasn't investigated anything, ever. Just sits back and tells everyone he knows better.

What did you mean by your "denial of science" remark? No one denies the effectiveness of the methodology, the end results (ex. technology) of science, so I'm not quite sure what your comment was that I responded to was supposed to have been all about.
People don't "deny science"; they deny some of the conclusions that scientists reach, which is an entirely different matter.

You didn't answer my questions. You made 2 claims which I asked you to support. If you'd like to ask me additional questions that's fine, but only after you've responded to mine.

You never understand the topic

You always think you do

Case in point…

The Mandela effect is not false memory

Correct. But false memory is a highly plausible explanation for the effect with masses of supporting evidence. Changing timelines has zero supporting evidence and is indistinguishable from a lazy assertion.

Now watch as you once again tell us you know better.....

A perfect example. Keep it up!

There is no way to tell you that you don’t understand

 

[Bungle_Bear]

There is no way to tell you that you don’t understand

You do it on a regular basis. What is apparent is that you conflate "you don't understand" with "you don't agree with my assertion". It's time you understood they are not synonymous.
