I mean, you're the worst debater I have seen in a long-ass time.  Ignorant AND inarticulate!  What a combo!

oh what a charmer and wonderful debater you are too!  I've got a stinking cold and am work so am often interrupted mid post...I also had no idea that thrown about ideas would be taken so seriously or so vociferously disagreed with.  get personal if you like though, whatever floats your boat really

Now you know.  What you said could basically be equated to going to an Astronomer's forum, and saying it was your opinion that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and everyone should respect that.

I didn't actuallly say that anyone HAD to agree with my opinions though.  If anyone can prove my opinions wrong I'll gladly accept correction but until they can I won't....no theory, hard, cold facts.

You're not one of those people who feel that all theories have an equal value of truth, are you?

yes I am because most scientific theories have been disproven over time so many theories held today could well be.  Not gravity and so forth obviously but some

[Golden Applesauce]

like I said, I think what i think and too stubborn to change now

so much for discordians supposedly having open minds....that's another opinion of mine proven wrong i suppose

[Lupernikes_shadowbark]

not true, possible

[BADGE OF HONOR]

I was going to compare theories to the vast number of species that fail to successfully evolve, but I'm sure you don't understand evolution either so...

Gravity is actually in need of some serious reworking.  The major unresolved problem in physics is how to reconcile relativity's interpretation of gravity with quantum mechanics.

Higgs boson.


Next?

[Lupernikes_shadowbark]

I didn't know that but i accept your point

[Lupernikes_shadowbark]

so basically I'm not from a scientific background nor massively well read on the subject therefore I'm thick because I look for alternative explainations to some things?  That's the gist eh?

[Dr Goofy]

Jlar wrote a novel then told you you were close minded or did not read it when you responded and mushy well he just called you and idiot and never said anything different. The topics there have died in the last couple months or so. That is why I am here that and you guys raided us which was awesome

I theorize that the statement "all theories have an equal value of truth" is false.

WHAT NOW?!

Essentially, yes.  Don't go looking for alternatives until AFTER the primary way doesn't work.

You're looking for alternatives FIRST.

Well, since you haven't looked deeply into the most plausible explanations, and you haven't even researched the alternative explanations with any sort of rigor, then... yes.


Hell, if you had a coherent alternative explanation that actually made some sort of well-thought out sense to it, we could get down to it and see where it led.

Instead, you give me a 50/50 true/false matrix, and say that all things are either equally false, or equally true.

[Lupernikes_shadowbark]

I think it's called an impasse isn't it?

It's not hard to find pieces that explain science in simple, easily understood terms.  You're "thick" because you didn't bother to find them, didn't bother to read them, didn't even bother to flesh out your "alternative explanations", and won't bother to change your mind now because you've spent waaaay too much effort defending your "opinions" to back down now.

[Golden Applesauce]

...and won't bother to change your mind now because you've spent waaaay too much effort defending your "opinions" to back down now.

This, and the fact that you called us narrow minded.
