Wow. This is a really long thread. Anyone want to clue me in on what's been going on? Or does nobody else seem to understand it, either?
Understand it?!?!?

Wow. This is a really long thread. Anyone want to clue me in on what's been going on? Or does nobody else seem to understand it, either? It's the same discussion over and over. Ricky makes a crazy post, someone tries to talk sense to him, and Ricky responds with a crazy post. Thankfully he keeps the insanity to one or two very long threads, which is probably why he's lasted this long.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

What can be explained by physical-material means or something else?
What is based on facts and reason rather than desires, emotions, feelings, or wishes.
That is something correct in a way but not the correct answer to my question.
I did asked how would you pretend to understand what is rational.
Is rational something physical-material or something else?
Can something non physical be rational or rationality is confined to something physical-mental?

Please take your strawman outside. It's setting off my hayfever.
Let me see if i understand what are you saying.
Are you saying that you enjoy so much this sort of club in which you are protected like inside a cocoon therefore no one should intrude inside and try to challenge your views?

Yes Ricky. That's exactly what the rules say. Well done.
Now go and tidy up your blocks, it's nearly your bedtime.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Tarajo, I think I can help. We're all pitching in on Ricky's therapy. Seems he incurred a rather nasty inflation of ego during the time he pursued enlightenment through yoga. The guy actually believes he is the one. His resistance is tremendous but he shows up for therapy like clockwork, bless his little heart.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rational
To be rational means to be reasonable, sensible, ect.
Sure, something non-physical can be rational. The theory of gravity, for example, is more of an abstract idea than it is a physical object, but it's certainly rational.

You guys are not getting it.
Rational is something that make sense but what in this physical world make sense?
Here we got to understand the difference between something that make sense TEMPORARY and what make sense in a PERMANENT way.
In this physical arena or world things make sense ONLY temporary as everything is on the move and therefore change all the time.
What make sense today will be thrown in the rubbish bin of history to be replaced with a different rationality.
This has been going on since the cave man and will go on for ever so the chances to get a permanent rational system are zero.
But here is where i want you but none could understand this point.
This is also one of your handicap.
You keep on pretending that you know what rationality is but you only know the meaning of Temporary rationality and this is not of much help if you are looking for PERMANENT progress.
