Blind faith and evolution

Oh, i see.
You try to burn me at the stakes just because you are stuck in the corral of dogmas of total ignorance?
Your physical science can not explain what is over this universe so you try to tell those who have gone over that they are stupid.
How sad!!!
After million years of evolution you are still floating in this dogma.BangheadBangheadBanghead

Neither can anything you have to say. At least scientists are actively trying to find that out and look for answers. You are intellectually lazy.

Eh, linear is a latin word and it means a straight line so when we talk about evolution that does not follow a straight line we also mean a way of proceeding that is not consistent with following the same path.
When you travel with your car from point A to point B you (unless you are an idiot) you follow the straight possible path in order to reach your goal.
If not we can say that your way of proceeding is chaotic and that is what i said.
Wow...
Really?

Not-linear and chaotic do not mean the same thing in the slightest.

Again you are floating in the dogma.BangheadBangheadBanghead
Your scientists are studying PHYSICAL science which has nothing to do with the science that goes over the physical reality.

So in order to go from NY to LA you go through Miami and Denver instead to follow a straight line that connect NY to LA (linear journey) and then you say that your journey is not chaotic.Thinking

RE: Blind faith and evolution
If I intentionally stopped in Denver or Miami on my way to LA from NY, then no, that's not chaotic.

If you try to drive in a straight line from NY to LA it will become very chaotic the moment you hit something. It's physically impossible to drive perfectly straight from NY to LA. You have to make turns along the way.
So the act of turning in and of itself does not imply chaos. If it does then everyone is driving chaotically all the time.

I'm close to burning you at the stake for real.

If we accept that science is the observation and study of the universe, then what other observable part of the universe is there, apart from the “physical” one? You’re basically proclaiming science a failing for not addressing something it is not meant to nor can it ever address. That doesn’t quite seem fair, does it?

Nothing wrong with it.
Physical science is doing his job ok., but is not with physical science that you can understand other types of science.

Quote:You’re basically proclaiming science a failing for not addressing something it is not meant to nor can it ever address. That doesn’t quite seem fair, does it?


You are saying this.
You are saying that PHYSICAL science is failing.
I am not saying that.
Considering that your notions and your knowledge are limited to PHYSICAL science you can not perceive that something else other than the physical aspect is there.
You choose to stick with the physical aspect therefore you lock yourself in the corral of this aspect alone.
As i already said previously if you want to know something you got to have the desire for that thing.
If you want to find a lover you got to go and look for.
If you expect that the lover come knocking at your door and say.........hello darling i felt that you were looking for me so here i am.
That is NOT how the whole system works.
If you want to know or get what you need you got to go and look for.
In other words if you want to know whether there is something else other then the physical aspect then you will have to have the desire for that thing and that also involve to exist the corral of your dogma that there is nothing other then the physical aspect.Cool Shades

It look like you try to twist my words.
I am not talking about accidents that can occur along the way or the fact that you intentionally want to stop here and there along the way.
I am talking about trying to go through the most linear way or instead not knowing how to proceed and therefore turning something that make sense into something that doesn't.
So this confusion can be called Chaos.Wink Shades

RE: Blind faith and evolution
You don't get it. There is no other science besides “physical” science because science requires observation. If you cannot observe something, it cannot be scientifically examined or studied. So again, what other kinds of science is there?

And looking for something other than the “physical” won't work. By definition, anything beyond the natural universe is supernatural. If it is not part of the “physical,” natural universe, it cannot be observed by us, and it is not science. Period.
