I will. That was my parting shot. I'm gonna bow out.

Again: Why do you keep asking these questions? This is a science forum, specifically the subforum for creationism and evolution. Talking about stabilizing the middle east has nothing to do with either!

Again: for the love of God, be better.

Why do you keep asking these questions?

Because your insistence on trotting out every disaster, every example of mass death that exists in the 20th and 21st century and laying it at the feet of scientists, academia, 'evolutionists', is not the actions of a Christian. It is the actions of a man who desires to use death in a senseless...

No = noun, a negative answer or decision, especially in voting.

Not in the slightest what I said at all.

Because by and large, humans are very good at follow the social morals and ethics and laws that have been present enough for hundreds, nearly thousands of years, that big events where people go off the rails because of societies major inability to see people who struggle, or a desire to see...

Amazingly... this has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. We're talking about theories, not the scientific method.

Now that is the most sensible thing you've said throughout this whole thread.

Yes, entirely from your own misunderstanding of what was written. There is nothing wrong with the idea of replacing the words used in science with words that are more colloquially known between laymen and non-laymen to mean a certain thing, and model is a good term to use. But it is also true...

Okay, 'replacing' is not the same as 'removing' or 'taking out'. A primary school child would know the difference. That misunderstanding is entirely on you.

No-one has said they should be taken out of the English language... where did you even get that from?

So you do accept and admit that people do misuse words like theory then?

Good job at completely avoiding what I pointed out.

I don't know why you're asking for statements but I can give examples. Here Here Here and Here Took a while to find but this forum's search tool is pretty good at its job, but here's four examples. And no, the theory of music is not misused at all since music theory is a thing.

And? Again: The article isn't talking about the words being misused in scientific papers. It's about scientific words being misused by laymen in an attempt to talk about sciences. In science, a theory is not the same as a hypothesis, but to a laymen, they mean the same thing so it is misused.

You can add a good bit of swimming to a hike if it's a short pier.

It's stunning that you decided to respond with something completely off topic to what I said. Very telling.

No, you need to pay attention. The article isn't talking about the words being misused in scientific papers. It's about scientific words being misused by laymen in an attempt to talk about sciences. In science, a theory is not the same as a hypothesis, but to a laymen, they mean the same thing...
