A question about the lifespan of scientific theories.
#27
RE: A question about the lifespan of scientific theories.
The lifespan of a scientific theory is the amount of time it remains the most accurate and useful theory with regard to its subject matter.

The lifespan of a religion is how long people spend pretending it is true. After that, it gets added to the pile of "obviously made up" older religions, many of which it bears a shocking resemblance to. Then a newer, trendier one comes in that "really is true this time, no really!"
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
