It ought to be noted that the original experiment that "showed" that saturated fat was bad for you was an experiement with rabbits. Rabbit were fed lots of fat, and no surprise they suffered high mortality. But rabbits only eat grass normally, and only trace amounts of fat. Despite this ri...

Here's a great example of how science can be wrong.
Whilst looking to reinforce the long term villification of saturated fat Bikman designed a study to show that satruated fat causes diabetes.
In this video he shows how he was completely wrong.

An excuse. You were only asked for one thing. One. It could not be simpler for you, and still, you cannot do it. QED. And you have been repeatedly asked for a single objective moral rule. Not and entire system, but one single rules. and you have been weighed and found wanting. You are a failure, a ...

And this is the moment you depart from Philosophy and retreat into a fantasy world of your own making.

You say "easy," but I don't see one. If it's "easy," where is it? My moral landscape cannot be reduced to a few empty platitudes. An excuse. You were only asked for one thing. One. It could not be simpler for you, and still, you cannot do it. QED. And you have been repeatedly as...

No "moraity" is subjective, actually. And you can test that for yourself. Just go looking for even one Subjectivist moral precept. Easy. You say "easy," but I don't see one. If it's "easy," where is it? My moral landscape cannot be reduced to a few empty platitudes. Bu...

We can see that Subjectivism is indeed a "shack" a badly-constructed idea, and that it is indeed "on fire," since it falls apart at the first sign of logic. It can't even perform the most rudimentary functions of "morality." All moraity is wonderfully subjective and mo...

So do you believe that the communion wine is literally the blood of Jesus and the bread the flesh? I believe in supernatural power that enters our world. That is likely what separates your and my understandings. That is not an answer. Do you believe that it is okay to pay money to the Pope to have ...

An odd statement. Every post of mine is composed strictly of points.

Your "points" are supposed to address items in the post you were responding to.

I think it's a public service to point it out. After all, if somebody is trying to live in a shack that's on fire, wouldn't you want to at least tell them they'd better leave it? Seems fair. 8) No shack is on fire, except in your imagination. We can see that Subjectivism is indeed a "shack&quo...

No shack is on fire, except in your imagination. People dont need telling. And are not likely to listen to you given your track record. If you succumb to IC’s “preaching” — he is an absolutely bad apologist for Christianity and also despises Catholicism — you will commit an intellectual error: mist...

Which ones? Protestant, Catholic, Rastafarian, Orthodox, Mormon?? Which ? The last census finds that Atheists are now the majority group is Scotland. This is progress. Catholic theology — the chief Encyclicals and Catholic social doctrine — and certainly a social focus oriented to the supernaturali...

I know. But what is obvious is that for Subjectivists, the word "morality" cannot possibly have any content. It just means, "whatever I feel." And that is not morally commendable: neither others, nor even you can say that makes you objectively "moral." All it means is ...

They tend to form themselves into tiny cabals of like minded fools who think that their personal ideas of morality are objective, absolute and universal. But this is just delusion. When they come across other groups who similarly pretend Objective moral ideas they are affronted and demand that the ...
