Ignorance combined with arrogance.
Just in case you can't read, I am talking about Win XP (see my first post). I don't use Win 7 so I don't know anything about it.
Windows will delete the _address_ of certain information but not necessarily the information itself. Thus the disk will become...
Interesting. I would love for a theist to read this thread.
I've always loved the way many religious people try to say that science is all a conspiracy and that scientists have no idea what they're talking about..... then go on to attempt to use science to prove the existence of their chosen...
For what it's worth, I would think that the issue is more about the crashes than it is the O.S. And there's a lot you can do to sort those crashes out.
I run a laptop and a desktop both with XP. The desktop is not connected to the net and the only stuff I do on it relates purely to audio. I'm...
Yup same old crap.
Any predictions on how it will unfold?
Mine: Intelligent people get YouTube-Famous by easily tearing apart his tired old crap. He gets all sulky about it and does something stupid to one of them.... let's say like ummmmm..... well, anyway.
Thanks for all the help in this thread. Especially Andiferous (the first point made re: definition of terms was much appreciated), borrofburi, squawk, hackenslash and nemesis. Very much appreciated and I've learnt a lot. Mostly that I have a hell of a lot more to learn!
And Squawk, I read the...
This should really go under "shameless self promotion" but anyhoo...
If anyone would like audio to accompany a YouTube vid I'd me more than happy to create something. Custom and free of charge.
I run a recording studio and have only two jobs at the moment so have plenty of free time.
Just...
:D :D
Love it!
I will post the link to the paper.
Also, what do you think of this for a reply to the Crick thing (keeping in mind that I am not well versed in any of the sciences... I'm trying to look at his logic):
"Well, it must be an incredible read if what it says is that scientists...
Many many thanks. :) So much ammo I don't know what to do with it! Mostly because, as per usual I guess, the conversation has now moved on to even more interesting claims. It's hard to keep up!
It should be said at this point that he still hasn't responded to my criticism of his definitions...
"It is often cynically said that there are no atheists in foxholes. I'm inclined to suspect (with some evidence, although it may be simplistic to draw conclusions from it) that there are very few atheists in prisons."
The God Delusion pp 261 - 262.
"Correlational evidence is never conclusive...
"I am not sure what you think I am saying, but it is clearly not what I am actually saying.
My basic premises: Science has nothing to say about the existence of gods. Humans, whether they are scientists, philosophers or any other thing, operate within a paradigm. Science is not objective...
Now everyone seems to be jumping on the "evolution cant be falsified" bandwagon.
Me: "You've misunderstood and I think you're confusing yourself a bit.
You've just insisted again that you believe that evolution won't be falsified not that it can't be. Here is an example:
"If we found a...
He he he. Thanks for that. Seriously funny stuff. Informative and well reasoned too. I'll read it again just in case I decide to respond properly.
My last response was something like this:
Thedonut: "Evolution can't be falsified and therefore isn't science."
Me: "A horse in the Pre-Cambrian...
Ok just for laughs.... I've given up on the discussion really because this guy seems to have his own ideas about science that no-one else in the scientific community would agree on.
I'd like some definitions.
1. How do you define "science"?
"A systematic study of natural phenomena often...
Thanks again for all the replies. I've been paying attention and have leant on this thread with my replies.
The responses I've had are very long and vague so I won't post too much of it here. However, I have a feeling that I'm starting to get where this guy is coming from:
"Yes, there is such...
That was my first response. To which I got this confusing reply:
"A fact is not evidence, it's a fact. People interpret the "why" or "how" of the fact to make it evidence.
Incidentally, I do not care about ET [evolution theory], as it is just not relevant - by that I mean, I do not disagree...
