What, for exsample, is the logical difference between infinite and uncountable?

AmishDude may correct me, but I think I remember that integers are infinite but countable, while irrational numbers are both infinite and uncountable. There is a difference.

Well and good in number theory, but that wasn't the context. My main point is that the whole paragraph was a meaningless jumble of plattitude-like verbiage.

I think it may be related to his claim that biology is not a science and medicine is worthless.

This is the kind of Taliban logic that really scares me, just in case anyone asks again what I am scared of.

Plant this seed in the mainstream media, and the Republicans will get about 12 votes in the next election.

I am not a fan.
