Where whatever I say is just summarily dismissed because you don't want to believe or don't want/can't argue a point. So it is dismissed on your say so.(June 16, 2023 at 11:19 am)R-Farmer Wrote: 1, why are you arguing with the Father of modern Philosophy of Science? Karl popper set narrow parameters on what can be considered 'science.'
2, please Note the primary methodologies to vetting scientific theory verses historical facts.
I ask you to look up and read the first section of the wiki page concerning the scientific method. (I can't post links or quote the page because of the links imbedded on the page)
Do you notice how the Historical method and scientific method have different rules and standards of proof? Do you see how in the scientific method requires 7 different steps. Karl Popper said these 7 steps are necessary and must be observed and completed before a subject can be considered to be a scientific subject or field of study. Anything that falls outside of the rigors of the scientific method Can NOT be considered science.. One can not observe any point of history and one can not produce a reproducible experiment to prove or disprove history as again history is based on eye witness testimony or commentary of a given event. Or primary or secondary source material.
1. I don't believe in reverencing authority figures, I am freaking' allowed to disagree with Carl Popper. Citing him is one thing, saying he's right because he's Carl Popper is another. I'm perfectlly comfortable with not bowing to Carl Popper as the be-all and end--all of what science is.
2. Don't assign me homework.
Which is fine, if you want to live your life that way. but at the same time I do not want to be apart of a discussion founded on your personal world view that is grounded in nothing more than "because I said so."
