<They MUST defend this view of science for as their whole wobbly ideology is supposedly based on "science" then they must defend the infallibility of "science" or they risk undermining the "logic" of socialism.> Here your mysticism and mine part ways my friend. Science is about being able to predict with almost absolute certainty until something disproves it - have you ever studied logic and understand why we say all crows are black - there may be a white crow on mars - but until i OBSERVE that - it is USELESS and makes better sense to say all crows are black - did you watch that link I send to MOO about MINDS OF OUR OWN? If an apple drop from a tree I can use SCIENCE to predict where it will fall - how long - how fast - etc etc - SCIENCE is the ONLY thing we have to give us a candle in the dark - candleinthedark.com - James Randi test your mystical brothers to offer any PROOF of thier claims - he offer much REWARD MONEY if they can - no one can do so - it all FANTASY slagle - LAS VEGAS could not exist if any of that stuff true. I don't know all the answers to the universe - but SCIENCE the best thing we got to try and figure things out - to discredit with FANTASY it seems very dumb to me. <One place this plays out is in the schools over the subject of "evolution". Evolution is a "theory" but they are forced to enforce it as an infallible "law" rather than a "theory".> Oh my god, I will be the first to admit there is lots of darkness out there in the universe, but evolution - god slagle - I thought you beyond this already - it passes all the tests for SCIENCE - provable, repeatable, empirical. science.slashdot.org Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret < A failure here puts their whole belief system at risk.> The CLAIMS made by SCIENCE pass TESTS - they can be REPEATED, STUDIEd, EMPIRICALLY VERIFIED - it is the best thing we got to go on - oh my god - what would you suggest we replace it with - ok little kid - i will drop this apple 100 times and 100 times you can use SCIENCE to predict the future - but forget about that bullshit SCIENCE - its just a THEORY - oh my god Slagle - as phil says - R U NUTS? science.slashdot.org Scientists Find Flaw in Quantum Dot Construction SCIENTISTS found the FLAW using SCIENCE - not indians smoking peace pipes talking to spirits - OH MY GOD! <And one of our "liberals" can't accept the idea of mystery anywhere any more than Lenin could. But if you can accept that the universe is full of mystery then we agree on quite a lot.> The universe is full of mystery - science our BEST TOOL for uncovering it - everything else wether true or not is not USEFUL. amazon.com Science has reached dazzling heights of discovery, transforming civilization in the process. And yet, some of the most fundamental questions remain unsolved! In The World’s 20 Greatest Unsolved Problems, John Vacca—together with more than 60 of the world’s most highly respected scientists—explains these problems in detail and describes the intellectual and technological hurdles to be overcome in order to solve them. Slagle replacing a good hammer to build a house with a rock because you think there is a better tool than a hammer and we dont need to get locked in thinking only in hammers makes no sense to me - use the hammer until something better comes along. For me, all crows are black until you show me the white one on mars. The apple will fall to the ground everytime no matter how much you tell me the spirits tell you that WRONG. I dont know where you getting the memes you got - where did you go to college and study science? All the science guys I study under say it the best we got and they admit it not the end all be all of the universe and lacking in many ways - but you dont replace the spare tire with a wooden wagon wheel eh?
