[Fester Chugabrew]

What you are suggesting is that unless each and every scientist reproduce the prior experiments before getting to his own area of interest, they are not practicing science.

Not exactly. I am downright stating that it is unscientific to present a philosophy as closed case science when one has undertaken only cursory verification of the propositions he is given to believe.

I am downright stating that it is unscientific to present a philosophy as closed case science when one has undertaken only cursory verification of the propositions he is given to believe.

So, Fester, I have done quite detailed and extensive checking of said propositions. That would mean that I can present evolution as closed case science, no?

And I have also offered to lead you through the process. That would mean that you too, could present it as closed case science, but are prevented from doing so only by laziness or indolence.

So your position seems to be nothing more than advocacy of biblical literalism on the grounds that exploration of a contrary philosophy would entail your getting off your couch.

Gee, that's really admirable.
