I'd assume you know this also. I don't know what game you are playing Anima. Are you just screwing with us?
Yeah. I am just messing with you guys
I think both sides are throwing out terms without necessarily considering all the implications or meanings behind them.
"The beginning of wisdom is the definition of the terms." - Plato
While I happen to think the synthetic apriori causality argument is sufficient to support the inference of God (this aside from the ontological and teleological arguments) and that the example of the existence of life in contrast to the statistical probability of life provides synthetic aposteriori in support of the existence of things which may be considered improbable, but possible.
I also think there are various "theories" out there which are not falsifiable (in particular the Big Bang theory or M-Theory). But then I would classify these theories as mathematical philosophy more than anything.
Though I found the wikipedia page on falsifiability to be interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiabil...ategorical
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction
Particularly the portion regarding inductive categorical inference and the problem of induction.
