    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    There is a saying amongst scientists that goes something like, "if it isn't published then it doesn't exist". You may not share their opinion, but that is certainly the attitude within the scientific community.

    Couldn't design it if you tried

    When smart phones start having offspring together, let us know. Until then, smartphones are not analogous to biology.

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    What about a spaceship that is speeding away from the Sun at 0.5 c. How fast do you think the light from the Sun is travelling relative to the spaceship? Will people on the spaceship see light going by at 0.5 c, or at 1.0 c?

    Why aren't they accurate/real/true physical measurements?

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    NOTE: I see that @Polymath257 already explained a similar experiment and I didn't see it until after I posted mine. My post is a bit of a repeat, but hopefully they will both help you understand the concept. If you are standing still 10 feet away from the pen you are both in the same...

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Could you give an example? Statistics itself is a hypothesis driven methodology, so I fail to see how the application of statistics is not science. I also don't see how using technology to run experiments is not science, nor do I see how using advanced mathematics to make predictions about...

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Scientists usually describe the collection of observations as "stamp collecting". It is extremely rare for a peer reviewed paper to not contain hypotheses. Nearly all peer reviewed papers discuss what the results could mean, and they do that through testable hypotheses.

    Atheism and the Big Bang

    The Sun is one big ongoing nuclear explosion, yet it stays together. The Sun is also still producing complex new elements. What you are saying is impossible is happening right in our own solar system through well understood and natural processes.

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    Where is the analogous situation in biology? Also, you are forgetting about selection. Let's say I draw 5 random cards. I then draw one random card at a time, and if that card improves my hand I keep it and discard one card. I keep repeating the process. What happens? I end up with a four...

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    Then tell me what features a fossil would need to have in order for you to accept it as evidence for humans and chimps evolving from a shared ancestor. Or will you not accept any fossil as evidence, no matter what it looks like? What about genetic evidence for humans and chimps evolving from a...

    An Unscientific Theory On Religion Forums

    But they could say something completely different tomorrow, and science is always wrong, according to you. So why do you believe this?

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    There is no evidence that you would ever accept for evolution because you won't allow yourself to reach that conclusion. Does a jury have to see a reanimated corpse be killed by a defendant before they can accept forensic evidence? Are you really saying that directly witnessing a crime is the...

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    Like I said, you refuse to accept the evidence. Why ask for evidence if you just run from it?

    An Unscientific Theory On Religion Forums

    There has never been a steel high rise structure that was impacted by a 737 and doused in jet fuel. 1. Ask any blacksmith if they have to melt steel in order to bend it. Guess what? They don't. 2. The impact of the jet stripped the fireproofing off of the steel superstructure. 3. It...

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    These are repeatedly observable, testable, and demonstrable: DNA isn't an interesting novel, so I don't see how that applies. Here is a protein sequence (cytochrome c), and it looks a lot like something a chimp would type: MGDVEKGKKI FIMKCSQCHT VEKGGKHKTG PNLHGLFGRK TGQAPGYSYT AANKNKGIIW...

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    I am having difficulty in applying it to biology in any meaningful way. Whales and cows are the same type of animal. They are both mammals. See the problem?

    This looks like a good website to start at: Relativity | Physics For Idiots Note: I don't think you are an idiot, so don't take the title of the website personally ;)

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    That would require you to define what you mean by evidence. We have plenty of evidence for species sharing a common ancestor, but it doesn't seem that you will accept that evidence.

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    It is rather difficult to hit a moving goal.

    Is Aleprechaunism a Belief System?

    I would absolutely agree. Atheists have belief systems, but atheism isn't one of them. A lot of atheists carry with them the belief system that reality is objectively real and can be reliably observed. Atheists also tend to believe in things like loving their family, loving their spouse...
