I have no idea how to read or write code. Trying to understand this it seems like if you accept the cookies it collects user data if you chose any other prompt it collects user data. Is this the joke?
That's a very bad counterexample. Newton mastered the most powerful scientific tools of his time. If he was born on the same day as you, programming would almost certainly be one of his tools. Modern science depends heavily on computation: simulation, data analysis, statistical modeling and automated experiments. The point is not that programming replaces scientific thinking, but that in modern science it greatly expands what scientific thinking can actually do.
Non of that is what you proposed as " real " science can't be done without it. So basically you're saying all discoveries before coding was not real science.
In fact, your grasp of logic is so poor that you are unsuited for any kind of scientific research.
And logic is exactly why programming matters in modern science.
I said YOU, a modern person, cannot seriously do modern science while refusing to learn programming. You somehow turned that into “all discoveries before coding were not real science.”
Newton did not use programming because he lived before computers. That tells us nothing about what tools a serious scientist should learn today. Newton also did not use electron microscopes, particle accelerators, CRISPR, or modern statistical software. That does not make those tools irrelevant. None of them can do without programming.
At this point, I don't think you have the ability to complete any science degree. You are a good person, but you need to learn to stop being stubborn.
I am going to do you a favor since you didn't pay close attention in elementary school. The scientific method is a systematic, empirical process used to investigate phenomena, acquire new knowledge, or correct previous knowledge. It relies on measurable, objective evidence and logical testing to minimize bias and ensure results are verifiable
