Pity they do NOT just 'shut up and calculate'. If they did, then they would FIIND OUT and SEE what thee IRREFUTABLE Facts ARE, EXACTLY, instead of continually MAKING UP these ABSURD and RIDICULOUS Wrong ASSUMPTIONS and CLAIMS, and just GUESSING what COULD BE true and real.uwot wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 3:08 pmThe thing is there are many instances where there is no consensus. Scientists, like the rest of us, sometimes believe things for idiosyncratic reasons - aesthetic reasons; they might simply find one idea more beautiful than another for reasons no more or less profound than why some people like mustard on their sausage, and others ketchup. Hence hypotheses non fingo and shut up and calculate.Dubious wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 11:49 pmIf there are multiple theories predicting the same result as typically occurs in its various formulations being a possible explanation of what is observed, there remains only one considered more accurate...or possibly that all failed in their own way without being condemned as complete failures.
There is ALSO so-called 'absofuckinglutely no reasonable doubt that the Universe is infinite and eternal AS WELL.uwot wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 3:08 pmWell I would argue that's the point of philosophy. But that goes back to where to draw the line between philosophy and science.Mechanical, or better yet mathematical, but yeah, science works perfectly well without theories that explain causes.That evolution is called a theory is an accident of history. Or laziness. Or religious paranoia. There is absofuckinglutely no reasonable doubt that evolution occurs. Charles Darwin's theory was that the cause is natural selection, rather than intelligent design or divine intervention.
The THEORY that the Universe BEGAN and IS EXPANDING was BASED UPON the ASSUMPTION or BELIEF that there WAS 'a beginning'.
It is because SOME people, and ALWAYS "physicists", were NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY thing past what is 'visible physical matter' the reason WHY NONE of these people were ABLE TO SEE that the word "he" here did NOT refer to the 'visibly seen human body' AT ALL. Thus, just ANOTHER example of MISINTERPRETATION, ONCE AGAIN.uwot wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 3:08 pmNatural selection is a compellingly parsimonious theory, in my opinion, but who knows? Maybe Shiva is twiddling the knobs.Yep, can't argue with that.Well, the key thing in the story is not that Jesus died on a cross, there was no shortage of crucifixions, it is that he came back from the dead.
The reason WHY there APPEARS to be LIES here is just because people have MISINTERPRETED the REAL and True MEANINGS and REFERENCES.uwot wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 3:08 pm I keep referring to the Myth of Er, at the end of Plato's Republic. In that myth, Er is slain in battle. His body is returned to be cremated. On the funeral pyre, he comes back to life to tell us mortals about the afterlife; about the gates to heaven and hell, where souls are judged and go up to eternal loveliness, or are condemned to fiery torture. Add to that the story that Plato's mother Perictione, according to legend, was a virgin, and that the ensuing thousand years of western academia were devoted to assimilating Plato and christianity. Plato's Republic is a handbook for how to manage populations; critical to which is telling lies to everyone, but particularly the masses. I don't think it is a coincidence that that is precisely what appears to have happened.
There REALLY is ALSO NOT ANY thing remarkable about "science" EITHER.
Theories, literally, depend solely on what are, essentially, just ASSUMPTIONS or GUESSES, about what COULD BE true, and absolutely NOTHING about what is ACTUALLY True AT ALL.
