Have you met enrico before?


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.'

Fortunately no, just indulged his desire to shout his fantasies at atheists over the internet.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Science come from the Latin scientia and means knowledge so it is a way of pursuing knowledge.
It does not means small or big knowledge or old or modern knowledge.
The original meaning does not discriminate.
Now, if you want to change the rules of the game and give a different meaning at this word please do so but don't come to tell me that you are correct when in fact you are dead wrong. Cool Shades

I'm not telling you I'm correct. I'm telling you to go read a dictionary. That a book (not your forte I know) which tells you what words mean.

Scientific method

Noun :-a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
"criticism is the backbone of the scientific method"

I'm taking my definition of science from that, and other stuff I read (much of it during my degree). You appear to be making yours up as you go along! Words have definitive meanings Rico, you learn what they are by reading science books.

But the reason we have pollution and wars over resources is because science doesn't have all the answers yet. But they are advancing.
Where is the good in science you ask?
Well, the internet for one, is a creation of science. The very reason you can express your ridiculous assertions to us is because of science.
Also, medical breakthroughs, vaccines and treatments for disease, genetic illnesses, cancer, aids, typhus, cholera, dysentery etc.
The reason we have sewers, clean water to drink and food readily available is due to science.
Transportation. Due to science, we now have vehicles that can travel the globe in a short space of time. We can go places that 150 years ago, no one could. We can trade valuable resources with other countries.
We can genetically engineer crops to be more hardy and nutritious, that helps 3rd world countries like places in Africa and india.
The car or bus or bicycle you take to your hospital is a result of science. The drugs you administer to patients, are a result of science. The medical equipment you use to save lives is a result of science.
We can transplant organs for Christ sake! Need a new heart! Sure here you go! How about a new lung, kidney, liver. So when you ask, where is the good in science? I want you to understand just how stupid a question that is. You should be thoroughly embarrassed. You take for granted everything that science has done to improve your life.


You still float in the sewer.
You never grow up do you?
You haven't got a clue about the difference between stay afloat
and progress.
Physical science is not only good in some instances but necessary to keep us afloat.
Keep us afloat is great but it is not progress.
Progress is when you are able to get out the trouble waters
once and for good or in your case out the guttering.
Life is hard from the first breath to the last.
You can discover so many things and you can
do so many things that help to keep you alive but at the end
you will never be able to beat mother nature and find
total peace of mind and happiness by using physical science
so at the end unless you use a different method you will always
try to stay afloat and that is hard no matter what the latest scientific knowledge can do for you. Wink Shades

What bullshit are you talking about?
The method of procedure goes back to the cave man when they discover the fire.
After observing the lighting, after trying and testing and modified they finally
came to the conclusion that it is by rubbing two dry sticks that the fire started.
Forget about your 17th century.

Sorry enrico the dictionary trumps your stupidity any day.You need to grow up the rest of the world and accept evidence and SCIENCE.Provide empirical evidence or SHUT UP.

on a side note-How much do you pay for heisenburg's blue meth enrico?It cant be too expensive considering how much you use.

They let him use it for an hour day because of good behaviour.

If he tries to escape again though these privileges will be revoked.

RE: The redneck strike again.
We humans are here to eat, sleep, fuck, and make babies so that they will grow up to eat, sleep, fuck and make babies. And then, die.

Everything we do (and I mean everything) is solely for the purpose of ensuring that this cycle goes on and on and on.

Communication is merely a part of the mating ritual, along with dancing, and becoming successful at what we do in order to attract a better mate.

So, we smoke and drink and eat too much. So what? These are necessary evils used for population control, just like war and car accidents and natural disasters.

Any attempt as stopping smokers, drinkers, and the like will only make us live longer and reach that point of over-population where it will be too late to turn back. When we reach that point we will kill and eat everything that walks, crawls, swims or flies. Then we'll turn on each other for food.

It is imperative that we live and let live so that we can live and let die sooner.

This is what life is all about, and nothing more.
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.

JUST BELIEVE IT!
