Facts? FACTS?! You provided nothing! The only one here who provided a fact was me, sourcing from the friggin' dictionary and somehow, as is common with you god-botherers, you misinterpret it even when the "context" is laid bare.
A part, I reiterate, is a measure of equal, less, or more units, of which all combine a single total. In culinary measurements, which was the example used, saying "one part sugar to two parts cocoa" if the overall measurement is a cup CAN, and often will for sake of simplicity in a recipe, mean that it is 1/3 cup of sugar and 2/3 cup of cocoa, but it can ALSO mean that a pre-determined amount of each specified measurement can be used. For example, if the specified measurements were 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of cocoa, saying "one part to two parts" would mean that you adjust the recipe to use 2/3 cup of cocoa, to the 1/2 cup of sugar, because, again, as definition, a "part" is just that, a part. Less, equal, or greater than other measurements that will comprise a whole.
Ergo, water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen even though the overall combined mass is not equally 66% hydrogen and 33% oxygen. Sam Harris was not flawed in his statement, not by any sense. I mean if you've REALLY been going about your life thinking that since your arm is a PART of your body and your body is comprised of four limbs, a torso, and a head, ergo six parts, that your arm comprises 16.666~% of the mass of your body, in equal relation to, say, your torso or your head, then, fuck, no wonder you believe the babble in the bible; reality just doesn't make sense to you otherwise.
LOL @ the atheist arguing "context"!!!
Seriously dude, read the quote again...
pocaracas AND Stue Denim both recognised the truth to my statement and I'm fairly sure pocaracas' statement is also true...
I get it, you don't wish to think of water that way. So I guess there's no point in trying to have a logical discussion with you as you won't...
(feel free to pound your keyboard in frustration)
Are you guys still going on with this? Knock it off! You sound like two kids brawling over who's ice cream is best... while it just melts away.
It's just two ways to look at the same thing.
H2O, 2 hydrogens and one oxygen. Hence the 2 parts H and one part O.
Oh, but Oxygen is much more massive than Hydrogen, so it's really some 16 parts O (8 protons + 8 neutrons) and 2 H (1+1 protons), discounting electrons which are much less massive than the protons and neutrons.
Oh, but in spatial terms, these atoms are mostly empty space!
Oh, but they're really just waves created by the Higgs Boson.
Oh, but, but, but....
ARRRGRGAGGHHHH
It's all the same frickin' thing!
Ice cream is just frozen milk with flavouring. (hehe, don't try this at home, or you won't get ice cream! )
