Terrible news for the Creation Science museum (and Republicans)

[AProudLefty]

Detectives can gather evidence at the crime scene, gather testimony of witnesses or technical experts in various fields. The can use theories of science, even developing them on their own and testing them, or using a theory created by another, such as Newton or Einstein.

They can then present all this evidence in a courtroom. NONE of it is a proof. NONE of it is science itself.

That's why we have juries. They are tasked with weighing this evidence, and deciding which is valid and which is not.

In other words, let the accused go.

Falling apples and falling humans are not a theory.

They are observations which have no explanatory power.

I am equally confident that apples fall on the earth, and that earth's rock record shows species change through time.

That is to say I am one hundred percent confident in both observations.

I am about 90 percent confident, give or take, that curvature of spacetime causes gravity, and that natural selection causes speciation.

The cause of gravity is unknown. A plotting method is not the cause.
Natural selection builds a paradox.

I don't remember your post exactly but I think it's a false dilemma fallacy.

Not at all. The dilemma is a manufactured example, but it is not a false one.

Non-Euclidian geometry is generally only intelligible to higher life forms.

...and those that don't use their fingers to count to 10.

Way ahead of you dumb dumb.

Yeah, irritating, right? My 8 year old kid sometimes sees a youtube video on stuff and then lectures me.

 

[Into the Night]

The theory of gravity is not "true" in the sense that it's chiseled in the rock like math. The observations are true, unless you want to go all philosophical on that.



Well a hypothesis is a claim so you're correct about that one. The more evidence and observations are gathered, the more it becomes an established theory

The Theory of Gravity has been transcribed into an equation, called a 'law'.
That equation is: F=G(m1*m2/r^2) where F is force in Newtons, G is 6.673*10^-11, and m1 and m2 are masses, in kgs, and r is distance in meters.

Is it chiseled into rock like math. It is an equation in math.

Good phrase and agreed.

Corn cobs were a lot more sanitary than Roman community sea sponges.

I see you no longer attempt to unequivocally state that general relativity is a substantially stronger theory than Mendelian Darwinian evolution.

In a sense, I might bet my life on natural selection over general relativity.

Evolution by natural selection has been directly observed in a very tangible way under both laboratory and field conditions.

No one has ever seen curved spacetime.

It's existence is only inferred by indirect detection and theoretical mathematics.

Then you bet your life on a paradox. The crocs ate well today!

 

[Into the Night]

General relativity and Mendelian natural selection are both extremely strong theories.

But we know general relativity needs to probably replaced someday with a new quantum theory of gravity.

Natural selection builds a paradox.
The Theory of Evolution is not a theory of science.
The Theory of General Relativity is. It is falsifiable.
There is no 'quantum theory of gravity'. Quantum mechanics simply doesn't bother with gravity. It's not about gravity.

Some people don't even believe the Earth is curved.

of course its curved......

Shame on you, Mercury!!!! You are supposed to follow the laws of Newton! You are the weakest link, therefore you are demoted as a planet. Bye bye.

Mercury follows Newton's law of motion perfect. It also follows Kepler's laws perfectly. Our observation of it is faulty. This is part of what Einstein discovered.

Mercury is right where it should be. We can't see it there because of the lensing affect of the nearby Sun.

Some idiots would believe Hillary's secret Pedo game club is buried underneath it.

 

[Into the Night]

That implies that the prosecution team has no theory as to what happened at a crime scene.

Sure they do. It is not a theory of science, of course, but the investigation may involve some theories of science.

 

[Into the Night]

Space, time, even distance and length, are relative and depend on the frame of reference.

Paradox. Apparently you never read up on the works of Einstein.

It is about him confessing to being an idiot.

If an angel came down from the skies and showed an angel fossil turned into a human
and that evil angels planted fake fossil record evolution would be falsified. WTF not falsifiable.

Fossils are a fucking existing thing, so they can be proven false. So evolution meets Poppers stringent def.

Show me Noah's ark. Show me the ark of the covenant, show me the fossil record is forged. Not falsifiable my ass.
What it is is inconvenient to you. All the fucking evidence you CAN'T manage to falsify.
That doesn't mean it's not falsifiable you fucking insanely stupid freak, Into the abyss.

Yes. With an accelerating elevator, artificial gravity is "generated".

Same with rotating wheel space station.

Both have the same effect.

Artificial 'gravity', however is not gravity at all. It's simply centrifugal force giving an illusion of gravity.
Gravity is a force of two masses attracting each other. It is dependent solely on the size of the masses, and the distance between them.
