I was mistaken. Since we had been talking about Hume's problem of induction, I assumed that's what you were referring. The obvious answer is that God ...

It's good to have you back on the front page.

You had me worried.

First off, your statement has nothing to do with the Problem of Induction as described by Hume. What you have described is the Reverse Principle of Re...

Not Banno. hypericin

I'm not sure if that's different from what I'm saying or not.

Can you laugh out loud under your breath?

I don't know what, if anything, is going on outside our universe. My formulation of the Principle of Relativity specifically indicated it deals with w...

I'll respond without trying to fool you even once. As I said, this is an assumption. It underlies all of science. It hasn't been proven and can't real...

It is a fundamental assumption of all science that the laws of physics are the same everywhere in our universe, have been the same since the universe ...

Your OP and subsequent posts are really condescending. Given that, you should expect unsympathetic responses.

This is from the Tao Te Ching, Verse 20, Stephen Mitchell's translation. Stop thinking, and end your problems. What difference between yes and no? Wha...

Are you going to?

Thanks for the link.

I'm done for now if you are.

When we're trying to use science to develop policy, especially in an urgent situation like the pandemic, there comes a time when you have to make a de...

That's the number of fraudulent votes the election "auditors" have found in Arizona.

The correct word is "correctionalizer."

I have met many. Just because someone isn't as self-aware of their beliefs as you think they should be, I don't hold that against them. @"Tom Storm" w...

@"Banno" is wonderful. I don't care what everybody anybody says.

You wrote this: I responded this: I haven't seen a reply from you yet.

I don't understand. My posts have been all about science including the response to the pandemic in particular. I don't see how that is off topic at al...

Obviously, the threads/posts I identify are the ones that have meant the most to me personally. First - Beautiful Things. Sorry, it's one I started. I...

Geez, no fair responding to my posts from deep in the past. I've probably changed my mind since then. I'm not knowledgeable enough to respond in any d...

Yes, a lot of posts were deleted, including some of mine. I have no objection to that. I think it was appropriate. But Zenny was banned. I'm sure you ...

@"Zenny" was banned for, according to Biden, "refusing moderation by repeatedly posting off-topic posts in the religion thread." What really happened ...

Gonna ban me too?

I'm not sure what that means.

I'm not.

So then, the answer is "yes." If I don't say the things you want, you will stop me from writing in this thread.

It's not clear to me. Are you threatening to stop my posts on this subject? For the record - @"baker" wrote that few Christians actually believe in Go...

@"Tom Storm" and @"baker" said not many religious followers actually believe in God. I said that is not true. I don't see how anything you've written ...

You and @"Baker" have agreed that not many religious followers actually believe in God. I think my criticism is reasonable.

But I think we can all agree they should be.

This is well put.

This is laughable. Do you know any religious people? I spent some time in the southern USA a few years ago. Down there, they wear their religion on th...

I think it is not possible without coercion.

I think you've just summarized every possible philosophy.

I can't speak for @"Tiberiusmoon", but I think he was hoping for serious answers. Pol Pot, Adolph Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, and Joseph Stalin all thought ...

We've never been sure exactly what @"praxis" is, but whatever he is, he's clearly a genuine one.

I have heard the song, if that's what you mean. I find the Bruces sketch itself deeply offensive as a reflection of rabid Australaphobia. I linked to ...

I don't doubt your good will at all. From what I've seen in your posts, you and I have a very different understanding of how science and science-based...

I knew you were. I almost didn't respond for that very reason. Then I thought it might be fun to go at it and see which of us could be more passive-ag...

I wrote something impolite, but then thought better. Suggestion - if you don't like the Shoutbox, don't read it.

Thanks for that. I'd never seen it before. Linked below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2rhsdo8eeQ And people say this isn't a legitimate philosophy...

No, I think you're wrong. If what you say is true, that would make me, let me see - 19, 20, 21, 22.... really, really old.

Geez - you and Synthesis - it's nothing but hell in a handbasket, when I was a boy, kids these days.
