BTW: Your animations shows your intellectual state: CHILDISH.
You have vaulted yourself as being logical and being able to “think outside of the box”, and accused others of not being able to do the same.
In the last five years we have our shares of arguments and disagreements, and that’s fine, Native, this is a public forum, not a scientific community.
And I have told you and others in the past, that I am more of engineer (1st in civil engineering, and later in computer science and IT). So I valued calculations, evidence and data, because of my background, all above philosophies.
I have never called myself scientists, nor a physicist, nor a biologist, but I did study physics as Applied Science, so I was only ever involved with physics, chemistry and maths only when these subjects were related to the courses I was doing; I had only studied what were relevant as civil engineer, computer engineer or programmer or network engineer.
So none of my courses I have studied, involved Astrophysics, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, etc. But I was interested in learning that I was never taught, in my free times, outside of lecture halls and classrooms. And I learned only the basic frameworks of whatever I was interested, but they still don’t make expert in these fields, and I am no scientist, nor a physicist.
My points is that like engineering, physics require evidence, not the long-winded jibber-jabber of some philosophies.
I also love reading history, but I don’t consider myself as a historian. But I know enough that Natural Philosophy started with the Greek philosophers in the Late Archaic period and flourishing in the Classical period and Hellenistic period.
And Natural Philosophy continued to develop and flourish during the Golden Age of Islam, during the Renaissance and during the Scientific Revolution.
But In the last 200 or so years, Natural Philosophy became Natural Sciences, which developed into modern studies of physics, chemistry, Earth science, astronomy and Life Sciences (biology and related fields).
Natural Philosophy is over 200 years in the past, and no longer relevant to today’s studies, unless they have expanded and updated.
Modern sciences, (and I am only referring to Natural Sciences and Physical Sciences, not Social Sciences), are standardized and constrained by 3 core requirements for any proposed model (eg hypothesis)...that the model must be:
- Falsifiable
- must be tested in accordance with Scientific Method
- and lastly they (hypothesis plus evidence & data) be subjected to Peer Review.
There are several philosophies that stressed the needs for evidence-based testing (beside that of Natural Philosophy):
- Epistemology
- Empiricism
- Logical Positivism
- Methodological Naturalism
I would have include Metaphysical Naturalism too in the above list, but the whole philosophy-ing the nature of Reality, well, it bores me.
Science should be more doing, more works (eg testings, experiments, discovering evidence, etc), less talking.
Anyway, if you were really logical as you believe yourself to be, then you should be able to come up with predictive model and mathematical model to your alternative views, that you should be able to verify with observations (eg evidence and data).
But all you don’t have clear view, and whenever ask that you present evidence and data that match with your predictive/mathematical models, you balks and you evades.
So really, Native, you are not logical at all.
And to call yourself a teacher, well, from my experiences with debating with you, just laughable.
That you think you are smarter than Polymath257, is just your ego talking.
I may be no physicist, but you are no teacher...and you are certainly no scientist.
