LOL. I had agreed several times to his premise and then attempted to negotiate proof.
A thing can be a thing and still be true or real without proof is as far as he wanted to go.
He never wants to take the next step and verify, prove or test a thing to see if it is a fact.
Honestly, the only reason I post to him is JR says he is a good guy. I think he is genuinely stunted in logical proof and examination of thing, why the thing exists and its component parts that make it whole.
So I guess we are stuck with “Faith”. I believe God exist and yet I cannot prove it, so I take in on Faith that he does.
I also have not been to Africa but have factual evidence of it’s existence as I also have the same of Pluto.
Oh well.
Pluto is in possible danger, of being demoted from planetary status, to a mere planetoid.
The status accepted as fact for quite some time, may not in fact be factual.
It seems there are eligibility requirements for planets, and Pluto is perhaps something less than required.
So, if one were to say that Pluto is a planet, would that be a fact, or a fallacy? Does the length of time, that Pluto's status as a planet has not been questioned, alter the fact, one way or the other?
To paraphrase the "logic" of certain replies on this thread, "why, the claim that Pluto is a planetoid is of such recent vintage! Where were these claims, back when Pluto was first discovered?"
