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

    Are you a photon? If not, then what a photon experiences does not equate to what you experience. Also, we have all explained the math in multiple posts. Here it is again: Δt = the observer time, or two-position time (s) Δt0 = the proper time, or one-position time (s) v = velocity (m/s)...

    seconds * meters/seconds = meters Where is my math wrong?

    Learning: Introduction

    Science really boils down to this: If theory A is true then I should see observation X and NOT observation Y. The one thing that most non-scientists forget about is the "not Y" part. Scientists call it the null hypothesis or the potential falsification. It is another way of saying, "If I am...

    Learning: Introduction

    Science is an activity where you apply the scientific method to a set of observations and experiments. You DO science. We replaced Rationalism with Empiricism and haven't looked back since. The strength of science is that it requires verification through objective means. The weakness of...

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    The main point is that science isn't just collecting facts. The goal of science is a well constructed and well supported theory. "Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain...

    Is Aleprechaunism a Belief System?

    John: Invisible leprechauns run around trees and cause thunderstorms. Sue: I don't believe you. Sue is an Aleprechaunist. She dares to not believe in leprechauns. So is her disbelief in John's claim about leprechauns a belief system in itself? Does your own Aleprechanism inform your views...

    Is Atheism science?

    No. Scientists make science, and scientists are theists and atheists.

    Is Atheism a claim to the nature of reality and the universe?

    If someone says that something exists, it is up to that person to supply evidence for that something. It isn't up to skeptics to disprove a person's claim when the person supplies no evidence for their claim. "Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove...

    Is Atheism a claim to the nature of reality and the universe?

    How so? If you don't believe in leprechauns, what does that say about all of those things you mention?

    Is Atheism a claim to the nature of reality and the universe?

    False. Atheism is just a statement about a disbelief in gods. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Again, you are deciding for other people what a problem is.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    As this thread has shown, there are people on all sides that will go out of their way to find offense at the smallest things.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    That goes back to your neighbor offending you because he complains about your dog pooping in his yard.

    So if we can't see pink unicorns that means the pink unicorns are invisible?

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Then you think of science incorrectly. Science is a method, not a collection of facts.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    This is really simple. When people say they feel disrespected or offended your first inclination should not be to ask them to justify their emotions. Your first reaction should be to be a good person and see if changing your behavior in trivial ways will alleviate those negative feelings in...

    Atheism and the Big Bang

    Wouldn't all explanations, even the most mundane, suffer from the same problem? If we try to explain how circulating thunderstorms produce lightning does this explanation also suffer from infinite regression because we have to explain the origin of the Earth, the origin of the stuff that made...

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

    That is made up, not invisible. There's a difference.
