Taking Questions on Embedded Age Creation

[Kylie]

Why would we?

All those plants and animals and Adam & Eve are long gone, and their evidence long dried up.

So why should I believe a claim that has no supporting evidence?

 

[Kylie]

Fair enough.

My apology.

I didn't understand what Aaron112 was saying.

As I said. I would suggest next time you go and read the conversation and if you have any questions, ask for clarification instead of just jumping in.

So you won't stereotype science.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

So you won't stereotype science.

And there goes the irony metre for the thread.

And there goes the irony metre for the thread.

My standards:

1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own

Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Bible to be contradicted.

Academia's standards:

1. Ancient text says x, current science says x = go with x
2. Ancient text says x, current science says y = go with y
3. Ancient text says x, current science says ø = go with ø
4. Ancient text says ø, current science says x = go with x
5. Ancient text says ø, current science says ø = who cares?

Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Scientific Method to be contradicted.

And again... there goes any shred of irony for this thread.

The second part is counterfactual. Academia's standard would rather be
1. Ancient text says x, current science says x = study and evaluate x
2. Ancient text says x, current science says y = study and evaluate y
3. Ancient text says x, current science says ø = start a research project
4. Ancient text says ø, current science says x = study and evaluate x
5. Ancient text says ø, current science says ø = start a research project

Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Scientific Method to be contradicted.

Prime directive: don't accept truth on authority or tradition. Try to study and evaluate the supporting evidence.

So science first says y, THEN they study and evaluate y?

Isn't that how we got Hesperopithecus Haroldcookii?

Shame on me for assuming it had been studied before it became y.

Prime directive: don't accept truth on authority or tradition. Try to study and evaluate the supporting evidence.

So go ahead and contradict the Scientific Method?

Isn't that how we got Pluto demoted?

 

[driewerf]

Nope. Scientists evaluate their data during their research and before submission. The it is reevaluated during the peer review before publication. After publication readers will evaluaye and comment, during presentations at congresses debates will follow.

Isn't that how we got Hesperopithecus Haroldcookii?

And also how we got rid of it. You just don't seem to get over it. That science admits and corrects it mistakes displays it's grandeur, and not it's weakness.

Lights fires, then puts them out.

Your request makes no sense. A result, data point or conclusion can be contradicted. A method can be used or discarded.
I still hope that it is just stupidity that makes you write such stuff.

 

[driewerf]

Nope, that's the christian god's way: first cursing humanity, and then offering "salvation" or "redemption" through the sacrifice of his son.

 

[Aaron112]

I would argue that this rewritten history is not actually history...

Go ahead. People then would mock you , say you're wrong, ignore you, and maybe stone you?

 

[AV1611VET]

Let's pray they don't go THAT far!

Hate the sin, pray for the sinner.

 

[Aaron112]

Let's pray they don't go THAT far!

It is good to pray, but realize they ALREADY go THAT far!

 

[AV1611VET]

It is good to pray, but realize they ALREADY go THAT far!

Doesn't surprise me.
