well said
you get similar behavior from people who support homeopathy, religious fundamentalists, creationists, (insert wacko group here) - despite logic, commons sense and most of the evidence pointing towards them being massively wrong they just pick and chose whatever dubious evidence they want to support their viewpoint
I am still gob smacked by how retarded some of the people in this thread are
I'm surprised at just how full of themselves people are.
Do you realise that 'logic' is basically governed by opinion? It's just something people use to try and enforce their opinion as fact. Logic isn't the same thing to everyone, and if you asked a large amount of people what their 'logical' soloution to a situation is, you'd get many different answers.
People like you are the worst by far, you have your opinions, which you're well entitled to, but you go one further by personally attacking people who don't share your opinions.
You're no better than the religious nuts you go on about, you're doing the same thing as them, just on a different subject.
Religious nuts are intent on disproving the arrogant scientists, who are intent of proving the religious nuts wrong, and there's the problem. They lose sight of reality to basically try and get one over on the other.
Scientists are know for twisting things to fit in to their theories, or twisting their theories to make findings fit in to the theory as evidence. As do religious nuts. They're the same type of people trying to push different ideas to different people, they're essentially both belief systems.
Before anyone tries to flame me for saying scientists twist things to suit them, you can't really say they don't otherwise there wouldn't be so many different theories on everything, some of them have to be wrong, all of them may be wrong, they don't know they just work best with their theory of choice.
Going on about the whole 'magical creationist' ideas, when you think about it in not such an arrogant way, the scientific approach isn't any less 'magical' than a creationist's. The only reason people try to claim it is less magical is because they go on about cold hard science, as if that actually means anything.
Despite what people beleive, it doesn't actually make it so. Creationists beleive that there is a god, just because of that belief, doesn't mean it's real, same for scientists too.
People who go on about how they're people of logic need to calm down and accept that they are massively insignificant in the grand scheme of things, the universe is bigger than what humans can comprehend, and my opinion is that it's something that will never be understood fully because the way humans operate means they can't understand it all.
It's like trying to claim you know 100% how the mind of animals work, you can't know 100%, you can just make assumptions and theories as you've never experienced it, so you work with the best you can get.
Assuming that god exists, then what does that make of science? Well it doesn't change it, it just means that science is what it's always been, trying to understand the world around us.
The greatest scientists have all been humble, because they understand that what they know is nothing compared to what there is to know.
People need to accept that people have opinions that don't always match their own, and they need to grow up about it becuase it makes them look foolish when they obviously can't handle some one not agreeing with them.
Shows more about them as people really if they can't understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion.
