Coyoteman said:

"This is where science is conducted (partial list), not internet chat rooms:"

He then included a partial list which can be found here.

Now, FR would never be on that list, even if it was complete.
And for all practical purposes, this is an internet chat room.

Therefor it is impossible that anything that takes place here is science.
And because we don't have a laboratory and do science, what we must be doing is philosophy.


Now Coyoteman is a real scientist, and he says:

" I tend to avoid philosophers and their output. They have been arguing about things for several millennia and have come up with little to show for it.

I particularly ignore their comments on science. Usually they amount to nothing more than, "But we were here first! Please pay some attention to us... Oh, please!"

While philosophers are babbling on, scientists are out there doing useful things."

Now lets just forget the fact for a second that philosophers invented science.

What I would like to know is, what is a respectable scientist like Coyoteman doing on an internet chat room arguing with a bunch of useless philosophers?

And why is he trying to get them to do science?

Can't philosophers just be philosophers?

He is desperately trying to show those who are watching, but not posting, in threads like these that it is still possible to be a conservative without hating modern science.

Or at least that is my take on it.

I like to pull the wings from small insects, but its too early in the season.
