I have never made any money from homeopathy. Is this your attempt at pre-emptive prejudice or just another "you believe in YEC" faux pax? lol

As far as your understanding the physics of it that pretty much shows your ignorance of medicine. The physiological actions of a great number of pharmaceutical medicines is unknown although the physics might be through mass spectometry for all the good that is to any healer allopathic or otherwise.

"I have never made any money from homeopathy.

Where did I say you made any money?

"Is this your attempt at pre-emptive prejudice or just another "you believe in YEC" faux pax? lol

What does the YEC belief system have to do with this. Do you commonly jump to such reactive conclusions? Perhaps you should put off laughing at me until you are sure you understand my comments. Just a suggestion.

I made no attack on you whatsoever, nor on any YEC at FR. I was simply replying to your contention that since I disagree with you I must know nothing about Homeopathy. In fact, my point very pointedly stated that my bias against it is based on a fair bit of knowledge. It seems to me that you are calling me prejudiced, not because I have little knowledge and am presenting an unfounded opinion, but because my view is different than yours.

"As far as your understanding the physics of it that pretty much shows your ignorance of medicine.

How does my understanding of physics possibly show that I am ignorant of medicine? Are you saying that knowledge of physics and knowledge of medicine are mutually exclusive? Come now, that make no sense.

The physiological actions of a great number of pharmaceutical medicines is unknown although the physics might be through mass spectometry for all the good that is to any healer allopathic or otherwise.

Physics through mass spectrometry? What? Are we trying to determine which elements are contained in the solution through spectrometry, or should we be trying to determine how a solution diluted hundreds of thousands of times such that each dose would contain very few if any molecules of the 'active' ingredient could possibly have an affect on the human body?

Given your obviously much more informed opinion, you should be able to explain to me how a dose of the remedy containing no molecules of any active ingredient could possibly affect a body?

You might also explain to me how the inability of science to know every single reaction in the body somehow translates into 'anything is possible'.
