In this case, I said nothing about what the consensus did, I simply said it existed.
Yes, Virginia, there IS such a thing as consensus. And although you happened to mention it here -- again -- you NOW wish to be heard to say that you didn't attribute anything of any particular value to that term in relation to "science."
It is irrelevant.
Yes. NOW your "point" makes more sense

You poor pathetic dishonest shithead.
It always surprises me when someone gets so stupid they can't follow a two sentence conversation. I said nothing about the consensus REGARDING PI. And, by the way, shove it up your ass and jump, asshole.

In regards to science, what is or is not an accepted theory or a widely accepted theory or a rejected theory or a controversial theory - is determined SOLELY by the level of consensus.
You lummox.
Holy shit you have a MASSIVE case of butthurt, *****. Yes, you flatulent dipshit, "agreement" or lack of agreement DOES have something to do with "consensus." But since consensus in science has nothing to do with the validity of a "theory," agreement or lack of agreement has nothing to do with the SCIENCE of the matter.
So... you think a majority consensus of the world's scientists could develop for a theory that fails to pass the validity checks of the scientific method. So we're back to the vast global conspiracy. You are worthless.
Your massive butthurt is on public display, pricky.
Your vapidity is astounding.
Let's try to get your pathetic delusions corrected, shall we?
Ok.
In science it is emphatically NOT the case that consensus governs. A scientific theory is subject to the rules of science. If you can postulate it and formulate meaningful tests for it and if the tests confirm it, and if it is repeatable and falsifiable then you might have yourself a solid valid scientific theory.
If however a scientist proposes a scientific theory that is not falsifiable and not subject to being tested or verified via the scientific method, then it is of no significance in this universe if a bunch of other scientists form a consensus saying "yeah, that's good, we happen to like that 'theory.'"
Your butthurt notwithstanding, and your entire argument notwithstanding, you have yet to refute any part of the foregoing and you certainly haven't supported your own position.
Consensus is not a part of the scientific method.
If a proposed theory is valid and true and all that good stuff, then it simply doesn't matter whether the scientific community says "we have a consensus about it" or not. Of course if the theory is invalid and false, consensus still has no power to make it anything other than invalid and false.
In short, prickster, you have been -- and you remain -- quite flatly wrong.
