What is exactly "insulting" to remind people that right now our best tool is to test and falsify?
I think you need to read. I said yes question. I never said don't question or think. I said you still need to combine that with the best tool we have currently in scientific method.
I see nothing wrong with reminding people it isn't enough to simply leave things at thought experiments.
Now I really would suggest you read the opening to "The Greatest Show On Earth" to understand why I am merely giving all reading this a reminder.
The point being you still have to take anything you serve as a hypothesis and put it through testing. No need at all to feel insulted.
At what point in this thread did I say we should discard science? At what point did I say we should not do experiments? You might as well have entered the thread shouting "Fuck you, I like kittens. . . and you're mentally masturbating!"
No need at all to feel insulted? Except, you mean, for the part where you read the OP, completely misunderstood it, failed to read any of the rest of the thread, and then accused me of mental masturbation?

Yes, but are there absolutely no absolutes?
