There is? Like what? Are you confusing questions that are simply not yet answered with something else?
Quote:I can sympathize with Drich, because he believes for reasons, and he has continually tested and refined his beliefs throughout his life. That's somewhat like science. It's different from somebody who believes simply because he/shee never bothered to think or question.
Tested? No, it is nothing like science. He has no objective or empirical evidence. What is he measuring any test against?
Quote:Of course, I probably don't understand some of the subtleties about the scientific method. Maybe there is a clearer difference if I understood better.
