When science goes gibberish; what does it indicate?

Do I really have to go pull the definitions of create to see if one matches?
Have you, before you posted that? Because you should know by now that's what's next...
but fine, let see the definition. Using dictionary.com
verb (used with object), created, creating.
1.to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes.
2.to evolve from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or aninvention.
3.Theater. to perform (a role) for the first time or in the first productionof a play.
4.to make by investing with new rank or by designating; constitute;appoint:
to create a peer.
5.to be the cause or occasion of; give rise to:The announcement created confusion.
6.to cause to happen; bring about; arrange, as by intention or design:
so, 1. You're saying none of these definitions fit. and 2. You're saying that would qualify as gibberish??? Even if the word wasn't a perfect fit for the semantic usage, that is not gibberish, it would be a poorly used word.
But, you think none of those definitions fit, for the article you linked????

Sorry my friend is wrong.

Great, etymology is nice to know? But it's not what the word is used for in current conversation.

So again, do none of the uses in the current definition, which I posted, work for the article?

Also, skeptic of the skeptics? Good for you. Got a certain aspect you're skeptical of?
Actually, why don't you answer my previous questions, before going off onto new tangents.
So, are none of the definitions correct in the useage?

So, this thread has verified that "science going gibberish" generally means the person making the claim is simply ignorant of science.
no...more like listening to theoretical physicists go way out on a limb.....
hoping to find some way to justify what the numbers point to.

I've seen them try
they seem to be in some 'other' state of mind.

but hey!......maybe the Spirit is with them!

Great! Example, since Par won't give one?

This is sort of like a vegan asking for proof that a hamburger tastes good.
Really? Seems completely different..lets take a look. The initial claim, was, to paraphrase, that science goes gibberish.
This should be a very easy thing to give at least one actual example of.

Why do you not think this is the case?

One may like to read my post #541 in another thread, it mentions another aspect when science becomes gibberish.
Please click the post # above.

You missed the nuance in the sequence of comments. ie the 'meaning' to which I was referring. The meaning of that was, you would not necessarily recognize the inference being made, in the first place, regardless of whether an example was shown/
or rather, since you aren't aware of this, in the first place, it's probably a futile effort to ''show'' you a concept that you aren't understanding.

You know, you can keep shuffling the nonsense, but it won't make sense.


But i'm wrong......right? Because everything poofed into existence! just a random chance!

but we know that didn't happen.

Because nobody believes it.
Was it to subtle for you?

I thought it was pretty clear I was calling your post complete utter bull ****.

The really keen thing is how you come back with even more bull ****!

I knew I could count on you for a good laugh.
You did not disappoint.

your following a logic of ''x=y, therefore x /something/, z.''
z is your position/s/ in this equation. Somehow, because one thing that you disagree with, is nonsense, that makes your position, make sense.

I find it interesting how you so boldly dictate to me my "argument" as though you honestly think what you dictate has anything to do with me.

I mean, other than giving you something to quote, i do not even need be involved in the discussion.

Well, I certainly won't notice the nuance, if people keep running away, changing the subject, and shoveling it deep, instead of actually GIVING AN EXAMPLE... You're completely right.
I'm NOT missing the nuance thought, that you have utterly and completely failed to give examples, time after time after time, and have only been able to offer up weak, unsubstantiated excuses, while still asserting that there are examples out there.

Nice backpedaling and smoke waving though. Classic.

That's nice, but I did not say there were examples, to you; I never said that, because I figured it was pointless anyway, hence my comment.
