What is "Bad" Science?

AFAIK nobody said that.
Well now you will know a little more. from your post 188
"Key Points: COVID-19 was first isolated in 1965: Dr. Martin stated that COVID-19 was first isolated in 1965, more than 50 years ago, and that it was recognized as a pathogen with the..."

No I didn't, coronavirus and covid-19 are not the same thing.
In the citations David Martin claimed a Covid-19 Model was isolated in 1965 and it was the basis for his accusation that Pharma companies produced and released Covid-19 and SARS viruses. Refer to ALL the posts in the issue of the chain of David Martin lies, which you accept.

References your posts #188 and #213, and my posts #184 and #206, See also posts #159 and *I64

No, he didn't. He was talking about a coronavirus model, not a covid-19 model.

That might even be true, but it is not what you said.
Beyond that, a reasonable education and understanding of the subject makes it relatively obvious that the other statements attributed to him are equally questionable.

Best bet, admit your error and walk away from him. :)

Makes sense. And that is why people often take sides even though they should know they could be wrong. Or prejudiced. Or moving (sliding?) to erroneous conclusions and will not admit it. You got it.
Yes, that kind of inclination is why they want to insist on using the term "conclusion". Because for them IT IS. Even though within the endeavor of science, it never is.

All I have to say to this is that in this case your conclusion is false and the sooner you admit it the sooner you will understand that it is not a statement of finality but a statement, of what the evidence seems to indicate thus far.

Then it's not a "conclusion", is it. It's just a current working hypothesis.

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Negative Nellie, nobody is claiming anything is perfect except you who seem unable to discuss what is. Try actually interacting by discussing the topics instead of pointing out the truism that it is human knowledge and thus necessarily incomplete. Whether it is ultimately the result of a god or not is not even really part of the discussion. Beware however that as with your last link, material written by those with a bias toward reinforcing their belief structure often post material that is easily debunked and often outright false.
Sorry, Presumptive Pogo -- you really do need to learn more about science and medicine and doctors.

You are getting there, and we investigate it with new hypotheses. It is still a conclusion even if only a provisional one.

Though Doctors may talk down to you in avoidance of your oft demonstrated propensity for unreasonable questioning, be assured that they know very well that no knowledge in their field is absolute any more than any other science, it is a defense mechanism on their part to keep their lives and practices moving. :)

There is no such thing as a "provisional conclusion".
Chat GPT's answer;

"What does provisional conclusion mean?

A provisional conclusion refers to a tentative or temporary conclusion that is reached based on the available evidence or reasoning at a particular point in time. It implies that while a decision or judgment is made, it remains subject to further investigation, evaluation, or revision in light of new information or deeper analysis.
In academic or scientific contexts, researchers often draw provisional conclusions when they have gathered initial data or conducted preliminary experiments. These conclusions are presented with the understanding that they may change as more data is collected, different methodologies are applied, or alternative interpretations are considered.
Similarly, in everyday contexts, a provisional conclusion might be drawn based on the information at hand, with the acknowledgment that additional factors could influence the final determination.
In essence, a provisional conclusion is not final or definitive but serves as an interim position based on current understanding or evidence."

I don't see anything in here about non-existence.

The use of conclusion on research papers only involves the results of that particular research and in science has never had the connotation of being absolutely true,

How do you write a conclusion for science?​

Scientific conclusions should be written after the first four steps of the scientific method are completed. They are Question, Hypothesize, Experiment, Analyze, and then finally Conclude. The conclusions should include contextual information, experimental results, analysis, and the conclusion drawn from that data.

Also , , , What is a conclusion in the scientific method? | Socratic

A conclusion is a short paragraph that discusses the overall results of an experimental procedure and explains whether the proposed hypothesis at the beginning of the experiment was correct or not.

It can also be discussed in the conclusion further experiments or test that could be done to support your findings in the current experiment. This part could also be called perspectives.

This seems to be a difficult concept for those who believe that their chosen idol is infallible and omniscient, I am not referring to their God concept, but to their understanding and interpretation of an ancient book. The written word somehow takes on some sort of extra meaning.

Many layman with a religious agenda rely on rigid warped and misleading layman definitions, like "random," :evidence" and "conclusions ignoring deliberately the scientific vocabulary

Objection here being the definiton of layman. none of these should be beyond anyone with a basic HS education, so just what are laymen?
