I read something I found peculiar

[Ace Otana]

Intellectually the theory works. It holds up via internal proof. It's weakness is that at any point another theory might be presented that equally works. But even then this theory allows for that.

First of all it's not a theory, it's a hypothasis. A guess/belief a baseless assertion. Evidence is required for it to be more than that.
So without further delay...evidence please.

Indeed. But if you, as a scientist observed a repeated pattern, you would make a summary and claim substantiation. How is that different to 99% of humankind exhibiting this phenomena?

It's a belief. You see it as a pattern, I see it as normal personal beliefs. I'm not seeing this pattern you speak of. There are alot of people in the world who have funny beliefs and I just see it as pure and simple delusion. No pattern.

Yours isn't an opposite position. To be opposite you'd have to dismiss faith _and_ science. I fully embrace science and faith.

I dismiss faith not science. Anything religious is dismissed. I'm quite able to stand by science and not faith. Religion and science rarely get on.


I bet this debate could go on.
I think I'm developing a sore throat. Though sore throats tend to cause my voice to go really deep and sexy, it hurts to talk. Would be nice to have the deep part and not the painful part.

I'll be back tomorrow and hopefully after sleeping in my sore throat should heal up.
Good debating frodo. Well played.

Later, as my little sis would say.
