Statler Wrote:No they are not, empirical science is based on direct observation and repeatability, you only have direct observation that my posts exist, not that I exist.
The direct evidence is that you post your rants here. That is a direct, repeatable observation. Now, what you exist as, be it a jesusbot, a lying sack of shite, or what have you is another issue altogether.
Statler Wrote:Wrong, I reasoned from the particular to the general which is what inductive reasoning is.
You rode a slippery slope, which is a logical fallacy. The fact is that faith is belief in something unproven, and is always based on personal, subjective revelation. Period. End of story.

Somehow I doubt that. Ever hear of Ken Hovind? I'm certain you have.

Perhaps you do work with the USDA, but from the way you abuse science and misuse the scientific method, logic in general, and substitute faith-based, scriptural arguments for science, I have to tell you, my "belief" is that you are perhaps a bean counter, a secretary, or perhaps a courier. That was what I was playing on. I didn't expect you to get that, because, quite frankly, you have been faced with many facts, a great deal of science, and a vast amount of legitimate criticism of your lack of evidence, poor single primary (if it can be called such) source, and constantly tautological goddiditthebiblesaysso shtick, and you haven't seemed to get that, either.
You don't debate. You masturbate.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
