Facebook has countless science based pages. But this isn't about those, it's about the science denying pseudo-intellectuals who think they know better than centuries of scientific understanding and aren't afraid to leave comments arguing even the most simple of concepts.

Theories? Evidence? Experiments? Reputable scientific methods have no place here. This is the school of "My mate in the pub says".
