Quote:All I try to point out to you was the fact that you should not be too enthusiastic and passionate about physical-material achievements.It's tough not to be passionate about the only progress that we can actually track. The improvements that science and technology have made to our lives are so numerous at this point that there aren't enough gigabytes to list them all. The improvements that your "something else" is responsible for cannot even be quantified by those who believe in it. You'll forgive me if I save my enthusiasm for the stuff that actually works.
Quote:If on the other hand you expect me to elaborate on the point then you better read some topic and information on how the system works and how the blood feed that part of the body and brain called head.I don't need you to explain how the blood brings nutrients to the brain. I need you to explain how that was in any way relevant to the point you were trying to make. This is an example of how you drift from one point to another without addressing them, all the while trying to mock the intelligence of the person you're dealing with. It's funny to watch, in a "look at the drunk guy stumbling onto his face" kind of way, but it doesn't actually provide any useful answers.
Then again, your track record on providing useful answers is so poor that I guess stumbling around like a drunk isn't all that different.
Quote:If you only would have answered my question whether you would call a plumber or an electrician when your toilet is stuck then you would have understood that obviously physical science can not understand what is behind the physical-material aspect.Neither can any other science, including the ones you make up to try and invent a supernatural reality. In fact, it would not surprise me if you idiots can't even come up with a working definition of "what is behind the physical-material aspect." You're all pretty sure it's there, but you can't agree on what it is or how it works or why it's there. You know why? Because you don't have a method of testing and verifying your claims. You will therefore never achieve consensus and never actually do anything useful for the world. Build something that works with your "karma" and we'll finally take your claims seriously. Until then, they're garbage.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
