Title: 'Real' Science
Post by Volcano Girl on Dec 28th, 2009 at 3:09pm
I've just been browsing through the latest posts and i've seen this used by our estemed admin, but i'm curious as to what is meant by this.  There are many scientific fields and there are many fields that claim to be science but fail epicly.

As someone with a degree in Geology i know that my science is real, it's one of the youngest of the main sciences (only 200 or so years old) and even up until a short number of decades ago is still finding new and exciting things (by this i mean the development of Plate Tectonics).  The starting point for any one learning the subject is the same as the origins of the subject itself, i.e. you start by learning about the various rocks and mineral.  This is done typically in the lab/classroom at first and then moving out into the field to put all the relationships into place.  There's also the fun that is mineralogy and all the remote sensing techniques that are used.

So, what else is a real science?  My money goes in with anything that has an effective peer review process.

My money is peer-reviewed process as well, since you need to present your conclusions to the other scientists to be rigorously and retested for confirmation or rejection.

If that doesn't happen, we could just as well go and play guessing games.

Real science follows real scientific methods.  That is the foundation of science.

Is it testable, does it have the same results over and over unfailing?  If it fails then discard and work on another approach.

Real science seeks to find the truth.

I've done the points thing to make it easier for me to reply to each statment.

1) Yes, all science does this, it's how science works.

2) Yep, all science does that.  The general thing is to test stuff, if the testing doesn't show up any holes in the stuff then it's accepted until something else comes along that does a better job of explaining the phenomena.

If, according to GSFY, God = Truth (stated earlier by GSFY) and (real) science seeks the Truth then science, by this logic, is a search for God.

I'm certain this is b o l l o c k s and a good example of HEMG, using GSFY's interpretation of what he means by HEMG.

My irony meter has just exploded.

If you are talking about the religion of Evodelusionism, there peers are in the Wicca, and Pagan as well as Shaman religions.

Do they submit their papers to the religious leaders of those religions? 
Does that make them "science".

Evodelusionism has no evidence, therefor it is not science.

Do you have any evidence for Evodelusionism that you would like to discuss.   If you don't have any evidence for Evodelusionism, then it is not science but is a pseudo science and is part of a pagan religion from over 2600 years ago.

In 40 years of study on this, I have not seen any evidence for evolution.  Just evidence of genetic stability and extinction in the REAL world.

Magical processes and mystical causes are not part of science.

There are no mystical causes in the truth.

Evodelusionism is a term that you made up. There's no such thing as an evodelusionist. You might as well say that they are all best friends with cheese and spend most of their time making beds in hospitals.

Lol. The people you define as evodelusionists, you know, scientists unlike yourself, do in fact submit papers which are then scrutinised and tested.

Classic. You don't need evidence for evodelusionism as it doesn't exist. It's a term that only you and a few concerned about your mental health are aware of so whether you call it a pseudo-science or a fish matters little.

Everything that comes out of our biological little heads is a belief. Everything we see and think is filtered by our limited faculties, our education, our experience, our biases, our mood, our mental state, and I could go on, but I'm sure you get the jist. The object of science is to give a satisfactory explanation for the world as we experience it, but once science purports to possess monopoly on truth it becomes unreliable. The closest we can get to scientific true is that which cannot be disproven. The scientific method, in a nutshell.

Ironically, science supports belief, only religion supports truth.

In order to have a belief and not be considered to be insane, then what evidence do you have for evolution that is not based on assumptions, opinions, and is irrefutable and observable and shows any attempt at using the scientific method?

So you've just demonstrated your failure to understand what science is about.  Science seeks to determine an objective way of explaining what is happening around us.  Scientists come up with a hypothesis, they test it and get results, they may refine their hypothesis and test it again, this is repeated ad nauseum until we have something that seems to work adequatly.  Up until we find something new that breaks the previous model, also it has to survive peer review, this is an additional 'testing' phase.

It's also why science works on the falsification thing, if something can be falsified then it can be tested, and when it gets falsified then we know we were wrong and we will happily move on.

If i want the 'truth' in all it's mystical glory i'll goto a church or a philosopher or the like.  I won't be picking up a scientific textbook.

In philosophy we were put in our place by being told that IF a philosophical argument passes the test (ie; can't be reasonably disproven) it becomes science. Debate and philosophy is all really just BS, and their only value is in the process of learning from the the process. If the process is broken, it's utterly useless.

In every event, action, reaction of any matter or energy, organic or not, there is an absolute truth as to the causes and the results.  There is no magic in life only what actually takes place according to cause and effect.

It is a human weakness for people to fantasize about causes and effects based on beliefs.   When you have mass insanity it is called "group think with magical and mystical events".

You never bothered to read any other post before writing a reply to this one, have you? Do you want me to count the number of times, that you were told, that science never deals with absolutes? The science says "It's high probability, that what we predict MAY happen, but it's possible, that it won't. And if it doesn't, the laws and theories that suggested predictions should and are changed.

I don't know enough about philosphy to really comment on it, but my limited knowledge is enough to know that it's not about getting the same sort of results as science.  I also think philosophy is a very worthwhile subject in it's own right, and i dable in some armchair philosophy myself, it's just that i know our host doesn't get what science is about.

I've just finished perusing the latest batch of posts on this thread and a thought occured to me.

Does GSFY understand that the world and the universe at large works the way it does, and that we can't that, and science is our way of understanding what's going on.  I'll go back to my example from my OP as it's a different part of science from the one he has problems with.

The continents move, we have areas where they are coliding and areas where they are seperating, we've got certain type of material being produced at the seperation points and different types being produced at the convergence points.  There are even some place where there is neither moving away from or moving towards, of these some have no movement and others have movement which results in varying levels of ground movment.  These things are inescapable because they happen, and as much as it makes me feel like a dirty flat earthing geocentrist our host would probably say that this is absolute proof.  Put all of these observations together, throw in the work done in the 60's to establish sea floor spreading and et vola!!!  You have the Theory of Plate Tectonics which does to Geology what the Theory of Evolution does for Biology.

Now, i'm going to leave evolutionary theory in this thread to those that are more knowledgable about it than myself and i will focus on Plate Tectonics and other Geological stuff.  So please, delusionism does plate tectonics come under, the forum Geologist would love to know.

Heh. I understand what you mean. I found that crazier bits of philosophy and particularly "Logic" encroach on the territories of mathematics and computer science, where language and argument is reduced to symbols representing an occasionally (ridiculously) complex formula. Interesting (but arguably not very useful in real life.) I'd think that the majority philosophical theory might aspire to, but will never grow up to sciencehood. I'm really at a disadvantage because I'm lacking in any meaningful background in the advanced sciences, and am probably not very useful in comparing the two; although - your post makes me wonder if scientists dip into philosophy when questioning and exploring new avenues of study, or in finding an hypothesis if you will, and the follow-up testing bits are entirely subject to evaluation by scientific principle.  The sort of unproven conjecture preceding scientific study. I'm making this up as I go along, so I really hope it makes sense.  If not, I think I'll blame the hour and my lack of sleep - definitely why I'll need to spell check this a couple times before submitting... ;)

Well there is the philosophy of science, thats more concerned with paradigm shifts and the like, if your interested read up on Khun and Popper.  I'm not sure which one came out on top so to speak, i only looked into it a little.

But there's also the fact that science has it's roots in philosophy, back with the ancient greeks.  Over the centuries it adapeted and changed as people got into alchemy and the like.  Then along came Galileo and he practically invented the scientific method, i'm not sure if it got tweeked along the way to what we have now but he is essentially the grandaddy of modern science.

Thanks! I will probably look that up too, I'm quite curious now.

Ironically, I had one or two sentences about Ancient Greeks and philosophy in my last post but did a mass delete when I realised how much I was rambling.  :)

Thank you for pointing out that you would accept b u l l S h i t over truth any day.

If you are not seeking to find the truth in science, then you are only seeking to perpetuate your f**king beliefs.


So you've just demonstrated your failure to understand what science is about.  Science seeks to determine an objective way of explaining what is happening around us.  Scientists come up with a hypothesis, they test it and get results, they may refine their hypothesis and test it again, this is repeated ad nauseum until we have something that seems to work adequatly.  Up until we find something new that breaks the previous model, also it has to survive peer review, this is an additional 'testing' phase.

It's also why science works on the falsification thing, if something can be falsified then it can be tested, and when it gets falsified then we know we were wrong and we will happily move on.

If i want the 'truth' in all it's mystical glory i'll goto a church or a philosopher or the like.  I won't be picking up a scientific textbook.


Please show all of us the scientific methods used to test fossils?  Show us the scientific methods used in any part of the "theory of Evodelusion"?

I have never seen it used at all in the "Theory of Evolution". The only thing that is proven absolutely is that evolution is not proven to be even science. Whatever you think it is, it is not science.

Show me the evidence for fish coming out of the water, turning into reptiles, birds, and mammals. Show me the mechanism for this magical b u l l s h i t.
Show me the repeatable scientific tests done that even suggest this crap?

This is the whole reason for this website.  It is to allow all of you believers to produce the evidence then we can discuss it.

Dating of fossils or identifying the species?  Please be specific, you say you've got all this scientific study under your belt so lets see it in action.  There is no theory of evodelusion, there is the Theory of Evolution but as i said earlier i'm going to stick to my strengths and deal with the Geology.  So i can go through dating methods, which i'll do in the other thread, as for identifying fossils i'll have to handle that with glowingape as it's a cross specialism thing and from what i gather he/she is a Biologist.

The evidence will be in taxonomy and transitional fossils, the mechanism is evolution and how we explain that is the Theory of Evolution.  Again i think i will work with glowing ape on this one, i shall stick with all things geological and if my suspisions of him/her being a Biologist by specialisation is correct then i'm sure they'll step in then and help out.

The evidence has been produced, it's this little thing called peer review science, found in journals.  I can not help if you refuse to accept this or if you refuse to explain to us which parts you find problematic so that we can attempt to help you come to grips with this.  And save your 'you've all been brainwashed by evil scientists', it's like a bad broken record thats boring.  If you want to reach out and save use shouting at us isn't the way to go.

The dating methods for dating fossils is unproven, assumptions.  If you were to die today, and you fell into a watering hole (common place for fossilization), as time goes on and you are fossilized in less than 1000 years..... The sediment you fell in were to turn into compacted stone as is the normal case. Then in less than 1000 years your fossil would be dug up, using these "modern" radiometric dating, you would be dated as the age of the ground you fell in, which could be dated at many millions of years.  This is why this method is ridiculous.  This is why there are so many logical problems with the fossil record.  You cannot date a replacement or recrystallization fossil at all.  There is no tissue there, no carbon and no way to date.   Assumptions are worthless for anyone who is seeking to find out what really happened. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s2U7EsJ1QQ

If we have 90% of the fossils found of  vertebrate species (non bird) and some of those fossils are 110 million yrs old by this messed up dating system and the look the same today, then; 1/ fossilization is common  2/ evolution is ridiculous.

Other scientists show that there are flaws in using radiometric dating that are not considered.  The main one is the assumption that life, space and time, minerals, have remained the same as they are now for all time.  If you are living in a time warp and the only reference you have of time is from "your" time warp, then you will assume that the universe was stabilized at the instant it was established.  That is ridiculous to assume that. There was a constant flux and many fusions taking place over who knows really how long of a time.  It could be 10,000 years or 100 billion or 10 trillion years, and you would not know because of the constant manufacturing of minerals from fusion after the initial explosion of the big bang (which I am inclined to think of as plausible).

There have been many historically false dates made by these methods.  At best it is extremely poor.  It was because of many fossils that are obviously not dated even "ball park" close that caused me to look deeply into this radiometric dating.  When I started my studies it was called radiation dating, by the way.  I am 61 years old, 62 in a couple of months. Science has been my life, because it is what I do, my passion.  Assumptions, make this whole fossil dating a logical fallacy and the fossil record is a mess because of it.

The closest thing to dating is by the layers of strata and by looking at the plates, but that has to have a reference point to start from.  This makes dating by strata or ice layers, just another guess.

If you have 10,000 years ( a stretch ) of known time and space, with only about 6,000 years of almost recorded histroy of humans as your reference, and you use that for your way of establishing calibration for radiometric standards, then you cannot stretch that out to more than 100,000 years with any accuracy.  The farther you go back in time, the less accuracy. 

To illustrate this point.  You are looking at a dark road on a moonless night with a tiny flashlight. You can see 6 inches of road with it, and from that 6 inches of what you can see, you believe you can project that road to be the same for 47 miles.  This is the insanity of accepting assumptions. The accuracy is .0000026   or 2.6 X10-7


As to the accuracy of what these fossils are , you are relying on the judgement of delusional people, with agendas and deeply held beleifs to inflict those beliefs on the fossils.
They think because they have degrees in bogus fields, that they can brainwash you with the same delusional crap they were fed. These are the priests of this Evodelusionism religion.

I realized this when I was 16 years old.  I told myslef, it was ridiculous that these fools can look at distorted rocks and come to conclusions. Now they can use a toe bone and reconstruct an entire creature, but that is some of the feculence they do.  It is impossilbe to take a warped and distorted fossil of some hominid (or any smashed and distorted creature) and create what this creature looks like, because they don't have a clue as to the muscle structure, density of skin tissue, how the tendons attached and the numbers of tendons and the fossil is obviously distorted.  They can only make "assumptions" based on what is available to them in modern times.  It may be that those old creatures had 12 inches of flesh and 4 inches of fat tissue to keep them from frying in the sun or from freezing to death.  They do not know any of the organic structures to start from.

As to the "tree of life" ( a religious icon ) it is bogus, because in order to classify anything, you must have DNA and that is the only way we would have to determine any associations or any ties between any creature.  Just looking with delusional fools with agendas to "prove" evolution because they are brain washed is not evidence.  It is actually evidence against evolution.  No idiot believer is going to come between me an the truth of what happened.

I never accept someone's opinion as any form of fact. This entire religious pseudo science is based on opinions from belief and nothing else.

The fossil record is mostly a mass of conflicting data, falsely identified data, and it is obvious why.  Until we actually have the tools to see what happened, this science is just a friggin religion of delusional weak minded brainwashed believers. This is the same as any cult and any of the old sciences based on assumptions from religious belief.

The "World Is Flat" syndrome has never left science because of crap like this. This is a mythological religion and nothing more.

If there is any validity to any fossil classification it is by accident.

Actually Evodelusion is not understood it is believed and perpetuated by con artists who don't know they are con artists but think they are scientists.  If you had any objective reason you too would see this as obvious.  It is forced fed to students, who are forced into submission by pressures of society and they are taught out of logic and reason, while being told they are the "logical ones".  That is really sad to watch and read about.

The only thing they have is a belief, because there is NOTHING to back up this belief, not in fossils, not in DNA, not in any living creature we have now.  There is nothing but religious belief in fantasy and no use of any standard scientific methodology.   

There is only evidence of genetic stability and extinction, nothing else.  If you can show me where any fish has become a human over some immense time as it became a reptile, then birds and mammals, I would love to see this absolute evidence.  If you believe in things by inference, forced dogma, and peer and social pressures then you are not a scientist, but a puppet of other people's religious beliefs, backed by nothing.

By the way it is the law of gravity as it has been for centuries.  It is because these idiots can't accept that gravity is a foundation of science, and they can't understand how it works, that these weak humans have lowered its status to "theory".

Do you realize how many sciences are established on gravity and that without gravity, sciences like physics, chemistry, and electricity, could never be established at all.  There would be no "periodic table of the elements" without gravity as the basis of the table.

Without gravity, you and I would not have this conversation.

It is one of the fundamental parts of the universe required for the universe to have any structure.  It is a foundational principle required for life.

Unlike Evodelusionism, which is not even testable by any scientific methodology, gravity is here and now and we can test it.  There is no way to tell what is in the deep past with any accuracy, but you can measure all the effects of gravity in any experiment. Don't you know this?  Why do you accept bovine feculence from people?

Yet idiots who are not able to understand how it works, because there is no way for them to understand it they degrade fundamental laws of nature, by their tiny feeble minds.  It is the "law of gravity" and it can only be a fundamental law of science that has no cause humans can perceive. It just is!

There is no such thing as transitional fossils.  In order to have transitions, you have to show transitional features that are growing or in stages of growth.  All we see in the fossil record are complete creatures fully developed with no partial arms or partial ribs etc.

I have read over 20,000 papers on science and evolution and the only thing contained in them is a belief in evolution, with no evidence to back it.  There are only opinions and nothing more.  If you read carefully it is clear that the authors are brainwashed into belief and there is an "elephant" in the room with them constantly that does not allow any objective reason when it comes to this belief.  You go and start reading, realizing that the belief is stronger than reality.

Good questions and responses.  I like having a conversation instead of the crap that most Evodelusionists try to inflict on me.  For the most part the Evodelusionists are nasty and will do anything to stop me from destroying their "life" that the build around bovine feculence, just like any preacher or high priest of bovine feculence religions.

As someone with a degree in Geology i know that my science is real, it's one of the youngest of the main sciences (only 200 or so years old) and even up until a short number of decades ago is still finding new and exciting things (by this i mean the development of Plate Tectonics).  The starting point for any one learning the subject is the same as the origins of the subject itself, i.e. you start by learning about the various rocks and mineral.  This is done typically in the lab/classroom at first and then moving out into the field to put all the relationships into place.  There's also the fun that is mineralogy and all the remote sensing techniques that are used.

So, what else is a real science?  My money goes in with anything that has an effective peer review process.


Have you seen this information, which I find compelling for why the earliest creatures were marine.  Evodelusionists think that because the oldest fossils are marine, that is evidence for evolution. It is not.  It is evidence that the oldest were marine and nothing else.
