"In science, the ability to predict what will happen is considered proof of validity. For example, Einstein was able to predict certain events that could be measured when Mercury passed in front of the Sun in some particular way. The event was then recorded and measured, and his theory was proven either true or false."
Does it seem to you that there are a lot of people who are unable to apply this principle? Or are they just unwilling?
Sometimes I just don't get it. Even Bullwinkle J. Moose, after pulling the wrong thing out of his hat a few times, progressed from "This time for sure" to "No doubt about it, I gotta get a new hat."
A lot of people just seem to be stuck at the "This time for sure" stage with no prospects of moving on. I guess they're just so attached to that hat that they can't bear to give up on it and get a new one.
