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 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".

This is why Evodelusionism and many isms are just fantasy.

Crap. That should read:
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 this prediction should be and are changed with new evidence."

Oh, and thanks for removing post editing, GSFY. Really appreciate it.

Dude, why the Jim Arjuna do you never read anything on this forum? ONLY SITH TALK IN ABSOLUTES!
The only absolute here is that you are demonstrably quite mental.

Wrong. You fail psychology too. Unsurprisingly.

I'm so glad you are finally admitting that Evodelusionism is a made up. Must be the combination of IQ and sane that

Here, have an attachment.

Soz...
Let me compensate you by giving you some Real Science^TM

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.

Hmmm....prolescum....hmmmm.......hehehe.....Volcano points 10 you have...yes...heh...heheh.......

I know, but i can't help being all hopeful and optimistic about it

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.
