When you flip a coin it can land on either heads or tails, but it must land on one of them. Current realty is just simply the way things landed.

So then you do see them as separate paths?

To be honest if I look at these data some more, or similar data it will be in a classical framework. I need to practice Bayesian methods, as to be wel...

Before your post such "trash" was not a part of this thread.

I am sorry, but no valid scientific conclusion is void of logical coherence.

Well I think this proves that this place is a waste of my time. Goodbye.

So "importance" is relative to text length? I don't think you really believe that. Simple was the best approach for that topic. I wanted to see how pe...

Just ponder my question for awhile, as personally I think it is your perception that is "devoid of any substantive content" here. My question was not ...

I guess your English is also lacking, as that was pity.

I am sorry your understanding of the topic is so limited.

It is a gay thing.

I also think all math is a lie but I am in love with the simplicity and order it offers.

That said, however, it should be pointed out that statistical conclusions are not considered facts, they are considered evidence which should be consi...

I have never met anyone on the statistician's journey to disagree with the idea it is a science. But I understand your reservation. On my first day in...

I consider mathematics a science, but statistics comes with some extra baggage the other big two don't. When you study statistics you have to study a ...

There is no doubt in my mind that statistics is a science and if you studied it more I have little doubt you would disagree.

I wonder how many people here would consider statistics a science.

I am no fan of psychology and have openly mocked it for being too subjective but to say it is not a science is just ignorance. Science is something we...

To be honest, I think some here have a misconception of science. Not everything is wired down to the quantitative or empirical, some of it is arbitrar...

Occam's Razor itself is a reasoned suggested approach which is not based on direct hypothesis testing; instead it is nothing but a guideline or a rule...

Don't get hung up on what is "qualitative" and what is "quantitative" too much, it is really only important to make such distinctions when you are doi...

The qualitative (aka categorical) is about making conceptual difference based on the quality of something. Normal force is different than weight force...

Here are some examples of the quantitative: kilograms & meters per second squared. The actual meaningful measurements themselves. If we say F=ma then ...

Species of fish, different types of force and even Newton's Laws of Motion are categories. I honestly don't think you know the difference between the ...

Not everything in science is quantifiable, in fact that is why we have the two terms.

I have no interest in defending psychology as a science nor do I care if you do or do not consider it one. I suggest you Google it.

Still not the variable of interest. Understanding that difference is a common exam question in intro stats courses. Everyone always makes the same mis...

Most is not a quantitative unit of measurement nor is it the variable of interest. And name a science that does not use statistics.

Where are the nude pictures? Don't promise adult material unless you have nudes.

Those are qualitative assessments, not quantitative and that would be statistics not psychology.

Science is modeling the reality around us in a systematic fashion. An attempt to create an approximate model of the reality we find ourselves in that ...

Yes, that is what I was getting at, but I would go one step further and say that when faced with the incomprehensible you still have no choice but to ...

I actually have a few problems with your statement. I would suggest there is no authority above questioning/judging; however, that said, it is not act...

I think you are confusing "God" with people.

Sorry, I am just fed up with people who can't read.

That is a piss poor source. Try this: http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/192702?redirectedFrom=subjective#eid And if you don't know what context is or how ...

It is called context, look it up and learn how to read. Honestly, you don't even seem to know what the word subjective means.

Here's a question: How would you know if you even found "truth"? Just for argument, lets say you find a nugget of truth, the absolute truth but how wo...

Well go ask 100 random people what truth is and then ask 100 random people what relevance is, and I think you would have your answer. However, relevan...

Personally I think you should forget about "exist", "real" and "truth". They are too subjective to be useful formally, instead you should ask yourself...

Defining existance seems more like a question for science than philosophy, or more specifically science is doing much much more to address that concer...

So by your standards gravity does not exist? Also how do you know thoughts and emotions don't have "material substance"?

Anyone here have an objective measurements to measure the origin of science?

I am not sure you understand what subjective means.

Please, it is completely subjective.

I threw you in that mix for this subjective comment:

The scientific method has several roots, it does not come from just one place. It has roots going back thousands of years in philosophy, religion, war...

Science is the process of building a predictive model of reality via the science method. Technology is merely our tools, like rocks hammers and fire. ...

In math 0 is also a number either too small to be measured or too small to be significant.

Any time I can jump in and crap all over a worthless thread, I am happy to help.
