LoL..
Gravity is like that, too. It never goes away. It's always been around. It'll probably never change. It could be used to explain anything. I mean, no gravity, no evolution! Maybe it shouldn't be in a science classroom either.
Science is 1,2,3 as much as the scientist is..
Science is composed of scientists.. basically semantically adept technology laywers.. Sophomores on crack, usually.. If "spinning" of news is possible, and it is, "spinning" of facts is too.., and are..
Example: Academe has not discovered that socialism is slavery by giverment.. or they have but have "spun" the facts to match their particular worldviews.. I'm Not talking about some parts of the academy but ALL parts of it, even mathematics.. You have you're rare scientist, thats open, but thats not the rule.. Drugs are controlled by the FDA whom is/are in bed with the Pharm industry..
When people believe nothing then they will fall for anything.. like, scientists are NOT SINNERS... propagandizing for their own beneifit.. Science is or has become about MONEY.. "Pure" science requires a "pure" scientist.. ALL or most validity checks have been bought off..
Thanks. Also you might want to relate it to an earlier sidebar some of you had going on "The Giver".
Been there done that.. {relating}
We can definitively state that God is outside the purview of science because that's what we define science to mean. Similarly, we define the trade of "plumbing" or "carpentry" in such a way that God is outside the purview of plumbers qua plumbers. Why don't you go yell at some plumbers for not investigating God as the source of clogs and leaks for a change?
Not to mention that smooth operator, Curly Pi.
Indoor plumbing promotes atheism.
Why did the Designer run the main sewer through a recreational area? Perhaps a fan of Jean Valjean?
Well sure. But who is anyone to know whether we have the competence or objective basis to define science as exclusive of God when science has no competence in the matter to begin with? And for God's sake don't bring my plumber into this. We're dealing with the fundamental assumptions inherent in anyone who undertakes to understand objective reality. This whole issue is not nearly as intrusive to general scientific pursuits as either side cracks it up to be.
Old joke, but a good one. But if you really don't like the way you were designed where sex is concerned then stay away from it altogether. If it's too "gross" for your liking then pleasure yourself with a hole in the wall. Or make yourself a Eunuch.
Scientists aren't competent to define "science"? Are you sure this is the argument you want to make?
Of course not - what you want to do is conflate the act of defining "science" with somehow defining "God". Sorry Fester - science is defined as the study of the material world. Anything beyond that is outside the purview of science, by definition. Unless, of course, you'd like to introduce "God" onto the stage as a wholly material being - then you can make "God" a part of science. But I don't think that'll play too well from the pulpit.
And for God's sake don't bring my plumber into this. We're dealing with the fundamental assumptions inherent in anyone who undertakes to understand objective reality.
And the fundamental assumptions inherent in anyone who undertakes to understand objectively real plumbing. You call your plumber and report a clogged drain. I hate to say it, but my bet is that your plumber has a priori ruled out the supernatural, including God, as the cause of your clog. So how come you aren't complaining to him about the atheistic nature of his profession and the assumptions therein?
Could be worse. Animals in the phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish, sea anemones, coral polyps) have a gut with only one opening. Imagine dealing with sewage regularly backing out of the drain...
And you call Coyoteman's placemarker "ugly?"
