I do not care about your scientific degree, or your position, because it benefits you alone, But I care about your moral value, and your knowledge, because it benefits all the world
I ask a lot, maybe you do not like my question, and may it raise your doubts and anger, But I just ask lot, because i want reach the certainty that I'm looking for, I do not want to come a day I find myself alone, and I find that everything I was think, it is wrong, If my question raises your displeasure, I'm sorry, you can just ignore it

Face and Palm.

The degree (piece of paper) primarily benefits the person but you are introducing a red herring fallacy

Honestly, you should feel a bit ashamed of your behavior.

How do you logically bind a science degree with "your moral values"? They are non sequitur.

But before we go there you assert "it benefits you alone" Are you so ignorant you are not aware that science (work done by those with their scientific education; those who devote their lives to science (facts over faith(belief without evidence) making discoveries that have greatly improved not only our understanding of reality but laid the foundation for a plethora of technological advancements that have greatly improved the well-bing of humanity and eased the suffering of countless people not to mention provide the means you use to devalue the providers of the technology you are using to pose nonsense.

Then, again, completely unrelated, you "care about moral values?" as you posed this as a contrast to science degree, you are inferring a contrast between the positions? Are you ESL (English as a Second Language) or do you honestly just have problems forming coherent arguments?

Your question only raises my doubt of your ability to be honest or coherent.

Anger, No.
sadness, Yes.

I am sad for you because in addition for displaying a profound lack of understanding, you also:

Completely fail to define "morality" and provide a logical path linking it to science

"want to reach certainty I am looking for" Those that promote "certainty" especially those who, without respect for science (study based in reality) fail to realize faith (belief without evidence) is not a path to define reality and not a path to define "Certainty".

This is delusional and I do feel sad for you.

seriously, a scientific degree benefits the bearer alone? those who discovered the cure for or vaccination against deadly diseases benefited no one? science teachers benefit no one? someone who actually knows how to be a president and attains that position benefits no one? tell that to the nine million people who didn't have health insurance before the aca and now have it. my moral value at best benefits me and my small circle of friends, and, oh, i suppose the multitude of banks i don't rob and the crowds of people i don't murder. i suppose you could extend it to the world, come to think of it. but if i had a scientific degree and the position that would allow me to use it to benefit humanity, i would certainly use it to benefit the world. they're not mutually exclusive, you know, morals and education.

@belfodil i did. my statement stands. and most people with degrees don't get them so they can show off. that's a myth that uneducated people sometimes spread. i mean it's not impossible that someone does that but it's not the usual reason or the usual procedure.
