Look, philosophy is like anything else, whether it be beetles of the world or stamp collecting. Some will "get it," and be infected with the same kind of passion. Others will wonder why some people will make such a big deal of beetles, but will leave it at that. And then there's that last group of people, who will be as dissatisfied with the answers of real science as they are with the answers of philosophy.
(I must confess, of all the people to show gross ignorance of science, the person I least expected to bid for most ignorant was pineapplebunnybounce. It just goes to underscore the unfortunate truth that you don't have to know the first thing about science to be a scientist. Maybe the creationists were right...)
I wasn't going to bother. But go ahead, qualify your statement, if I am indeed ignorant about science, I would like to know exactly how.
