Provide proof of your accusation and belittlement
He already did. Luke
is a professional scientist. He knows how scientists work and how they present arguments to each other. When he says you're not a scientist, it's because he knows what he's talking about.
And in fact you are not a scientist. You backpedal and call yourself a "student of science" instead, which could apply to anyone including those who merely have passing interest in scientific topics. And you heaped enough disdain upon the notion of adjudicated training end education that it's clear you have no respect for it. From there it's only a short walk to the notion that you have no actual training or experience in scientific practice.
This is important because those who lack that specific training and experience often misunderstand aspects of scientific methodology and how it works to create confidence in a conclusion. They also habitually express themselves only in the buzzwords often used to refer to elements of science practice, without really understanding the more nuanced concepts that are important.
So no, we have no reason to suppose that you know what the scientific method is or how properly to employ it.
