You're citing...somebody's Facebook notes? As a source?...

Look, I have zero interest in whatever alchemical-yoga-pseudoscience you and your facebook friend think you've dredged up from the ancient world. I'm talking about actual science, under the modern English definition, and that kind of science is a systematic study of the natural world based on evidence.

That kind of science has crushed virtually every testable religious claim that's brought before it, to such an extent that apologists have been reduced to hiding behind circular logic and "God of the Gaps" while their pocket of viable scientific ignorance for Gaud to exist in grows smaller, and smaller, and smaller by the day. They've been forced to hide behind claims that cannot be tested by science because science is (among other things) the scythe to which superstition falls and the thresh that batters the chaff of ignorance to the wind. You don't get to call your Chopra-choker bullshit "science," and you don't get to tell us what the word "science" means. If you want to bring up some ancient ghost story that happens to involve math, don't refer to it as science because that's not what the word means. At best what you have is pseudoscience, and if we're being honest what you actually have is some made-up bullshit.

Redman, you call yourself a bad person?
You're a better person than I'll ever be.
I just don't know where you get the motivation and the energy to argue with these types...

So, according to you it is more important where the source come from than whether the source make sense or not?
I would have thought you are a little bit smarter than that Pinky.

Quote:Look, I have zero interest in whatever alchemical-yoga-pseudoscience you and your facebook friend think you've dredged up from the ancient world.

I don't give a butt whether you are interested or not.
The reality is very clear.
Science started long long before this modern world and science always refer to a system of acquiring knowledge without limits about the source of knowledge.

Quote:I'm talking about actual science, under the modern English definition, and that kind of science is a systematic study of the natural world based on evidence.

There is no such a thing as the actual science.
Science is one and the meaning of this word is one whether is in the modern English or the old Sanskrit.

Yoga is not a religion and has never been crushed by anybody.
On the other hand a lot of physical so called evidence has been crushed and end up in the
rubbish bin of history.

You will have to excuse me if i humbly ask you what you really mean.
Do you mean that if someone make filthy references about your mother you will let it go
and let at the same time turn this forum into a dump tavern where the pit of humanity
roam among cigarettes butts and stale urine?
Please Stim help Little Rik to understand.  

The word was no. I'm sorry if you have difficulty understanding one of the shortest words in English. Taking the piss will not alter my response.

I am so sorry mate ehm Stim.
I just misunderstood you and the rules that deal with NO flaming.
I thought that when the rules say.........This rule is intended to prevent people from using the forum just to attack other members, or to bully opponents into submission.........means also
using a filthy reference about someone mother but i was wrong so please accept my deep apologies.
Will you forget me Stim?
Please forgive me.      

And that's why we have Staff to interpret and enforce the Rules, instead of leaving it up to muppets in open threads.

There's a joke involving Rik's mother and rivers of semen merging into bigger rivers of semen somewhere, but I'm far too tired and too much of a wimp to actually hammer something together right now

As a rider to my previous comments, while complaints thus far have been largely irrelevant, this isn't a licence for a free-for-all. Let's make some pretense at keeping the tone up.

So let me get this straight.The argument has boiled down to:

What is science?
Rik is saying science originated in India or whatever and what they think or said is science - is science.
Can Rik provide a coherent definition of his definition of science?


On a side note,it is a total waste to discuss the origin of the word and its 100 year old history.

Rik cannot provide anything coherent....

Coherent is an interesting word Iki.
Suppose that at the end of your evolutionary journey you merge in the ocean of cosmic consciousness
and become one with God.
What would you think about today when you are saying that ..........There is a God, I'm not Him.....
I mean how can you be coherent by believing that there is a separation between you and God and then find yourself as God.
Is not that now you pretend that a drop of water can be stopped from entering the ocean because a separation is the norm?
Where you got the idea that there got to be a separation?

Too bad king is a creationist Rikky
