When a field cannot follow the standard scientific model of observation, hypothesis, experimentation, falsification, repeatability, and predictive power, yet the public is told it is a settled fact, the effect mirrors gaslighting. Abiogenesis has never been observed, tested, repeated, or demonstrated in controlled conditions. Evolution at the macro level has never been produced in a lab, measured, or replicated according to the scientific method. When people claim these ideas are “proven,” they shift the burden of proof, appeal to authority, and replace experiments with stories. That treatment trains the public to doubt their own common sense that real science requires observable data, testable steps, and repeatable outcomes. Calling speculation “fact” does not make it science. It only pressures people to accept a narrative that has never met the scientific standard.
