Quote:There, he argues, is where "goddidit" ends up becoming the fall back answer, even for the most respected of minds.
He argues that 'goddidit' is the fallback of believers. And only believers.
You are mischaracterizing what Tyson has said; that's awfully close to lying.
I thought that point was clear in the context of my answer. I did not mean to imply that Tyson was saying nonbelievers are saying "goddidit". That would be quite contradictory.
You seem to want to assume that I'm trying to intentionally get over on people by being dishonest. I assure you, that is not at all my motive. If I've misrepresented based on misunderstanding, that's one thing... In this case, however, it seems it was you who misunderstood and misrepresented me.
Quote:I'm guessing you don't mean what you just said, because I certainly don't misunderstand scientific principles, nor do many others here.
Do you mean results? data? facts? theories?
I think you may understand enough for it to be valuable, but again, lack of omniscience means that there are possibly influencing factors that may not be controlled for when identifing our principles. In this respect, we should all humbly admit that what we have concluded as "fact" based on evidence could eventually be shown to be a misunderstanding of data because of our ignorance regarding unforeseen influences.
