Do you agree with my definition of a gorilla?

Oh cool another discussion about definitions of words

Didn't see that coming

yes of coarse

science arrives at true statements about our shared reality without fail

roll eyes etc

now on paperview

Dang, GG.

You win dude.

You typing out the definition of science really did me in...

I now realize what you were ranting about. I didn't realize because I kinda started tuning out. Your communication is becoming less and less interesting.

You claim science to be the complete totality of the ascertainment of truth.

It is not.

Everyone knows that there are things that exist that cannot be yet measured.

Science is by defintion:

1) the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

or

2) a systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject.

The word "totality" is nowhere in sight in either of these definitions...

You are welcome to have your own strange unique definition of the word, but nobody would agree with you.

Any scientist will tell you that there are truths about the universe that cannot be measured or observed.

Quantum physics is another subject that delves into the unmeasurable and unobservable.

If you think that science is the only way to ascertain truth, than you wouldn't believe anything that your friends ever told you. You would also argue that testimony should not be used in a court of law, which I doubt you do.

You have no consistency in your position at all.

You also proved my point all along on the victory mentality stuff... I'm right about everything else as well.

Well said PK truth

It is for people for whom science is their religion.

amadeus has been - for years now - trying to twist what science is in order to normalize his pedophilia

The Jewish god is what Christians call the devil. Jews have high number of genetic defects because they are terribly inbred. Sam Harris is Jewish.

You obviously don't know the definition of 'theory' in a scientific context, you should probably learn that before you start trying to educate everyone :harambe:

It's interesting when viewing the top religions in a chart.
The Big Religion Chart - ReligionFacts
and here
Most Popular World Religions

3 religions are Abrahamic and believe in one god.
Jews only have 14 million followers in Judaism compared to 2.2 billion Christians.
Muslims believe in one God, same for Christians, it's just that Mohamed was born in 570 AD. So they did what the USA should do. They said, we're going to follow our own religion. It's just that Islam is brutal with over 100 statements telling their followers to kill those who don't believe, and their practices are whacked. Most American's don't want to follow that ****.

The joke with Christianity is if you are aware of it, but don't say you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, then you're going to hell and won't get into heaven. What happens to all those people who are not aware of this, or know but believe in something else? Do they go to hell? The problem with Christianity is when you say that prayer, you are giving your life over to the church. Same thing with Islam and other religions. That's a cult and it's dangerous.

In summary, there's one mighty God for most religions. Three of the top 6 are based in Jerusalem, 3 are based in India. For the USA, it's a waste of time to read stories that happened in Jerusalem 2k years ago, yet that's what people do every Sunday, because they think they're going to hell if they don't.

We totally need a US religion.

Get on the ngfm

Mohammed was a caravan raider who married a six-year-old girl. Muslims had a bunch of different gods back then. Mohammed wanted a way to bring the different tribes together. He was staying in a cave one day and had him, probably, an epileptic fit (seizure) during this episode a so-called called angel-of-light showed up in a "vision" and laid out the current Islamic faith. He chose the moon god allah out of all the other gods to make him the one. It works for the Jewish/Christian population.

That way, he can cut down on all the different warring factions who followed different gods and consolidate his power.

This guy would get bored and spend a day digging a trench, line up all the infidels he came across that wouldn't convert to his new religion, and cut their heads off filling up the trench with blood by the end of the day.

Man, I read that book a long time ago in a College library while writing a British Lit II paper. The religion of peace. mmmk.

Every religion has been perverted by people who want more power

If people acknowledge tat, why do they choose to still follow their respective religion?

Around Christmas time churches will put up signs "Jesus is the reason for the season" yet nearly all Christmas traditions came from pagans (thanks Constantine)

Really? Cus last time I checked facts were called facts, and theories were called theories.

What Is a Scientific Theory? | Definition of Theory | Live Science.

"Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. Facts and theories are two different things. In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are scientists' explanations and interpretations of the facts."

Definition of "theory":
a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

And if you were curious, the definition of a "supposition":
an uncertain belief.

When was the last time you heard someone say "I believe in the theory of a round Earth"? This has moved into the category of being a scientific fact.

I cannot disagree with that.

Easter (fertility god worship, everyone knows bunnies **** and multiply like crazy), Christmas (Let's throw a tree up and worship around it giving each other cool gifts, fun for the kids) - made into Pagan holidays, the old worship of Baal and Molech. Throw some babies in the fire, while the priest made a lot of noise to drown out the screams so the parents wouldn't freak the hell out and back out of the whole sacrifice ordeal.

Yeah, the holidays were perverted along the way.

Because humans are pack animals and we need social circles and communities to survive properly in the world.

"The Church" may be a corrupt organization at the top but down at the community level it's almost always a positive thing for its members.

At the end of the day it's a congregation of like-minded individuals who share the same beliefs. Not sure why that needs to be **** on.

That is a great question surrounded by intelligent and accurate observations.
