Another way to know, is by asking it...

Into ignorant times with a different flavour.

There's none so blind as those that don't want to look. Feel free to post this in my prison thread, we can discuss it there.

That's an excuse, not a reason. But it's an answer, shouldn't you at least investigate before passing judgement? That would be the rational approach... I don't, therefore there's at least a 50% chance that your wrong. Besides evil is a religous word, not a scientific one... And with that I bid you fairwell, I'm getting a headache. I wish I could, but in my prison thread, you picked up the ball and went home...

TBH I don't think I'm clever enough to be obtuse, nor am I clever enough to get you to see, that being 100% certain of anything is more akin to a religious mindset than a scientific one; therefore the rational thing to do is to give up trying, besides it's not worth the abuse. But I'll leave you with this, please read "the parable of the madman" it's really rather enlightening with honest enquiry.

Understanding is a double edged sword, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them think...

It's not her mouth that counts... Are there any women here...

It's not that they forget, Marcus Rashford for instance is a beacon of virtuous wealth/fame, it's that they never really understood the value of wealth/influence... It's a concept... you need to understand it first, the only mechanical advantage of money is dividing a pig into veg...

I didn't say it was, I said it's your religion; strict adherence to the scientific method is not equal to strict adherence to science. Strange then, to you at least, that they seem too agree. Don't fear the answer, understand it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_of_Assisi An interesting read, the missing link in the evolution of religion/science, perhaps. Or is it Martin Luther...

When the cash-cow runs out of milk, it's forced to bite back...

If you don't call the judge a liar you can't be in contempt...

Joe Normal voted for them, what amazes me is, how comfortable these blinker's are...

Are you doing it on purpose? Science is your religion and your "bible", which BTW is evidence of previous people coming to understand their world and how to live in it... Back to this again...

Define lazy. You pay taxes to support you, it's a societal insurance plan; just in case you inadvertently become a victim of lazy. The more you can afford to pay, the better your chances of collecting a payout... The problem is, the wealthy think their immune to lazy and don't think they'll need to be fed, when the lazy catches up with them; apparent wealth is the price we pay for these 'horse' blinders...

Then what's the problem?

Science is about asking question's and actually listening to the answer's, without the baggage of being 100% certain of anything. If you ignore the ugly or frightening or distasteful answer's, you're the one with the baggage, anyone can do it. That's my point, and you're helping too proving it.

Today is being tested, tomorrow doesn't matter.

As do I... Much like baging you're dogs shit and hanging it from a tree, someone else gets to pick it up...

You're proving my point... I think the question should be; can you believe and still be a scientist? Which circle's back to this...

Indeed...

Is it so surprising that privilege has a part to play?

That makes you the fixed point, not some relative...

Present your evidence... Your use of the word doctrine instead of their preferred word 'teachings', is a bias a scientist should avoid. Since you believe in the existence of evil, I can be sure you're not terribly objective...

Being a scientist mean's to investigate objectively; for instance, I believe in religion and I'm an atheist; my studies have shown, to me at least, that a god isn't required for a religion to make sense; the other side of that coin is, science isnt always required for life to make sense.

I understand that... I don't understand the and. What if your personal beliefs are part of a scientific study?
