Banno

If It were mine to do, I would. I think I've made that clear over the years. I would ban any form of theology or apologetics. You would be free to pos...

Actually... yes. Bet that plays havoc with your faith in initiation rituals.

We dominate? Every second thread is interrupted by you and your friends, but we dominate? The Christians are a blight on the forum, yes, because they ...

Here's evidence against the trinity: it encourages the sort of irrationality found in posts such as this...

You follow the grand Christian tradition of equating critique with persecution.

What would be the point of replying? You've shown elsewhere that you accept contradictions. Logic has no place in your schema. The reasons are given i...

Neat analysis.

Ooo, oh, me, let me moderate...!

I was the Australian doctor on the WHO’s COVID-19 mission to China. Here’s what we found about the origins of the coronavirus

There's an oddly one-sided scepticism at work here, were "might have escaped from a lab" becomes an extended narrative about genetic engineering and i...

No paradox; if you would know what is, follow Doyle; if you would know what might be, follow Shaw. Direction of fit depends on purpose.

AH, OK. Comoving and proper distance. It wasn't Einstein, but never mind. Think we will leave it there. Folk seem to think I am kicking a puppy. I'll ...

Can you source this? What is it you are referring to?

Isn't it simpler just to point out that the notion of anything outside the universe is oxymoronic? Regardless, that the speed of light is constant for...

I'd class the Principle of Relativity as a grammatical rule; that is, if we find a violation, then that means we've made a mistake - like finding both...

Yes, I will be critical. Suit yourself.

So... where is it that Quantum mechanics no longer works? The Principle of Relativity states simply that the laws of physics are the same for all obse...

Relevance? Indeed, I am.

You can wag around all the Heideggerian nonsense you like. In the end, you are typing on a device that was built with our scientific understanding of ...

Rubbish. I've presented direct criticism of your supposed arguments. You have failed to address them. This is a philosophy forum - what did you expect...

Good for you. I think flowers look fantastic in the front garden. So what? If all you are doing is presenting bits of autobiography, why should we be ...

Whatever that means. Solipsism is self-defeating. And off-topic. I mistype often.

No, it isn't. Despite what the Bellman said, saying it three times does not render it true.

There's nothing to be gained by repeating yourself. You are claiming that there are qualitative reasons to discount the value of claims about events i...

Here's your opening post in this discussion: You attempted to show that any scientific inference about what happened in the past was no better than co...

Gregory, there is a difference between an historical account given by a witness and an inference made from shared evidence.

What an odd reply. It's a false analogy, of course, since looking at fossil crinoids or the microwave background, we are looking at rocks and radiatio...

The trinity is inconsistent. The rational thing to do would be to reject the inconsistent description. However what you will witness instead is escala...

More confused stuff. any number of actions can produce a pattern, but one can infer the cause of a pattern and test for recurrences - quite formally, ...

So now they add ad populum to ad verecundiam. Oh, my.

Two assumptions to look out for: That Einstein had one view on god that remained unchanging throughout his life. That Einstein, doubtless an authority...

Then in amongst your liars are people doing great stuff.

There is nothing new here. The self as described by psychology and the soul described here are distinct. Who I am - critic, carer, teacher, father - a...

It came about from another thread, and it showed a new way of looking at a text I had previously thought prosaic. This new way of looking at the text ...

Sure it is. It's an important and curious question. I just want you to focus on the contents of the can and stop playing with the can opener.

And when you look a the numbers, it turns out that vaccines afe safe.

Then that list of liars includes Frank. ANd yet, here you are typing on your device to the waiting world, thanks to science.

...because it can make us comfortable? I like my reverse-cycle heater. How does dragon-theory explain how it works, let alone how to make one? It does...

That'll be because I haven't replied.

You exceed yourself! Wonderful!

Oh, the wit of the forums! Such elegant humour!

Of course you can - there are many reliable secondary and tertiary sources. Look at the ones that have been cited here - take a real look at their wor...

Would you guys please get back on topic? There's plenty of places to discuss race and god; this is a thread about science. At least make some attempt ...

SO you can't name any decent threads hereabouts? Or just won't? Just pick a thread and tell us why it was interesting. Is that too hard?

Sure - I think you can engage with the science. Make up your mind - do you examine the science or not? You are ale to judge stuff when it agrees with ...

You're going to have to engage with the science, though, if you wish to have an opinion on anything from climate change through to viruses. Deliberate...

Yeah, just going to point out that this is nonsense and leave it there. Anyone who thinks it worthy of due consideration can start by explaining how t...

SO... not at all?
