I meant the part about how people do not understand science, which is why I jumped into this conversation. Polls show that nearly 70% of Americans do not clearly understand science, which is alarming to me.

The issue is that the theory you purpose and others as well is not scientific, which led to the need to define science and how appealing to the Divine removes a theory from science. Quod erat demonstrandum. It's alright to purpose a new Theory but that theory will be attacked because all...

Try to make connections between symbols and ritual. Don't take it at face value it's important to develop on what you have been exposed to.

Your wording is bit confusing. Are you saying that people can use the same data to support differing arguments? I agree with that. What is your theory exactly because I would hate to be arguing over and agreement.

If you disprove part of a theory it doesn't disprove the whole thing. You don't prove anything you only support it and support is gained from being unable to falsify something using tests or observations.

Here is an article about a guy who has no understanding of science, commenly called a quack...

I find this comment on Climate change particularly relavent for this converstation

Finding evidence that contradicts the current theories is what every scientist hopes to find. Why do you think people we so excited about the faster than light neutrino speeds out of Italy a few years ago (it was a error in the experiment in the end)? When we find something that contradicts the...

Etsy has some cool stuff

I doesn't really follow any method it mixes empirical evidence and beliefs (not really hypotheses even) that are assumed to be in capable of being falsified.

My issue, and scientist in general, Is that creationism doesn't follow the rules of the scientific method.

I am just trying to point out that you are combing two logic systems that are different and not transnational. Moreover the theory proposed is well supported but you are not familiar enough with the evidence and are mistaking your lack of specific knowledge on the topic for evidence against it...

Except this theory falls outside of the purview of science for that stated reason that it is not testable. It also appeals to the supernatural which is outside of the purview of science. So this is not a scientific theory but a religious theory. Different areas. So we don't necessarily need...

There are lots of forks we know about through the fossil record and genetics. The goths are a result of evolution where the differences became too divergent for reproduction between the two species and then more accumulating changes occurred. Changes in genetics they provided an advantage are...

The scientific method can never prove anything. This is because the scientific method is about falsifying a hypothesis. You test it oen to see if it is false, if it is not and you have enough support from other experiments you can say that you have a theory. The method is why science does not...

Except there are scientist who do look at all levels from subatomic particles to the observable universe. Error and scaling is different. Error is about how accurate measurements are while scale is about size. Errors can be introduced by systematic and technical faults, the degree to what...

There are many hypotheses in evolutionary theory. My favorite is about the origins of birds to dinosaurs, to a specific group of raptors. It was predicted that medullary bone would show up when a Dino was pregnant wick is the case for birds. This type of bone was found in a pregnant t rex...

Glad we agree on that last point coach : ) Matthew if you are saying that science and religion are both ways to view the world and gain knowledge then I agree with that. The methods each uses are different and don't work In the other system however. Each had its advantage and weaknesses...

Here is an essay that might be helpful, it compares mathematics, which does have facts and proofs, to science. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/200811/common-misconceptions-about-science-i-scientific-proof

What do you mean by scale relationships? Science are religion are two different ways of gaining knowledge about the world and they do not mix nor are they intended to. The scientific method is designed specifically to avoid the preternatural. Adaptation comes in a variety of forms, which...
