Where did science originally come from ? Something Unusual maybe ?

Stimbo,

I don't mean this arrogantly.

Do you think people may answer my questions from the post which started this thread ?

Stimbo,

//That's up to them. It may not be an endorsement of the perspicacity or profundity of your questions if they choose not to do so, for whatever reason. It may just be that we consider your questions malformed. You may want to work on that.//

You may think that people may choose to assert that my questions were malformed and you may think it right that they should have the burden of proof.

//Oh, and please rein in the pretentious use of fancy colours in your posts. That's just a personal request, not an official one.//

I have been willing to be helpful to those who want me to be, even with things like changing the colours.  I have not been arrogant. I think green is reasonable.  I may be willing to change from green to a different colour if someone wants me to.  What were you meaning by "fancy colours" ?

[Cyberman]

The burden of proof does not apply to opinions; only positive assertions. Your continual claiming of the discursive high ground does not alter that.

To your second point re: "fancy colours", I think we both know exactly what I mean. Please keep me out of your little games, yes?

Finally, please learn to quote properly. It's not difficult. Replying within quotes as you are doing makes it unnecessarily awkward to follow the flow of your threads, inasmuch as there can be said to be one.

I just threw up a little.

Don't worry Iggy. Here is Sam Harris kicking his ass to make you feel better:

Umm....was there a glitch or did that just happen? O_O

Also @Thomas, will you clarify the questions in your op?

Losty,

If you think my questions were malformed and you want to assert it here, then you may think you have the burden of proof.

I don't have the time to explain the questions to people who don't understand them.

Maybe you'll want to have a guess at the answers.

If you don't have time to explain your questions or have a discussion then kindly fuck off. This a discussion forum not a playground for douchnozzles.

[Edwardo Piet]

Yep.

THIS is a playground for Douchenozzles:

//The burden of proof does not apply to opinions; only positive assertions. Your continual claiming of the discursive high ground does not alter that.//

Do you think you can prove that I have not used burden of proof right ?

//To your second point re: "fancy colours", I think we both know exactly what I mean. Please keep me out of your little games, yes?//

Do you think you can prove I'm playing little games in this forum ?

Do you think you can prove that we both know exactly what you meant by "fancy colours" ?

//Finally, please learn to quote properly. It's not difficult. Replying within quotes as you are doing makes it unnecessarily awkward to follow the flow of your threads, inasmuch as there can be said to be one.//

I think my posting skills are good enough for people with enough experience.  You may agree that some people are too busy to do things sometimes like I have been.  Do you want to give me instructions on how you think I should quote properly ?

Stimbo, answers above.

[Edwardo Piet]

Thomas Kelly,

Do you think you may please not be a fuckwit?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Wait, this guy's posted 215 times in six days, but doesn't have the time to clarify his asinine rhetoric so that it sensibly parses?

Judging from his join-date and level of thinking, I'm guessing high-schooler on summer break, living out in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps too antisocial to have many friends, and looking to pass a long, boring summer.

It may be thought that science comes from men and that they deserve the praise.

Do you think that cells were the cause originally of men ?

Do you think science came from those cells ?

Do you think it is the cells that really deserve the praise ?
