Kirk: We ... we've been whiplashed back in time!
Spock: Affirmative, captain. The year is ... 1968.
Kirk: Look. Their records are showing Pluto as their ninth planet.
Spock: Apparently that is the extent of their technology so far.
KirK: But they're wrong.
Spock: Affirmative. But they don't know it yet.
Kirk: Someone should tell them.
Spock: Negative, captain. Remember our Prime Directive.
Kirk: Oh, yeah. Thanks.
Wow -- just wow.Your question doesn't accomplish what you're trying to do.
Wow -- just wow.
I can't stress enough that this thread is not about Pluto, per se.
But then, as I said before, I almost didn't call it a challenge thread. :whew:

One day you think you're right -- the next you find out you've been wrong.
Then one day someone posts a poll and asks if they were willing to admit it, and guess what?
They aren't willing to admit it.
Es sobre tiempo!Then why didn't you actually just title it "have you ever been wrong about science before?"
Es sobre tiempo!
QV please: Challenge Thread: Have you ever been wrong about science before?Well... why didn't you?
I suspect that if you answer my question you'll have found the answer to yours. It's really not that hard.Make your own challenge thread; instead of leaving it up to me all the time and having to listen to people harping about them.
Dangerous ground. If I understand correctly AV thinks the King James version of the bible is the original language, or something comparable. Changing from "thou" to "you" may be even more problematic for him than "planet" to "dwarf planet".The changing definition of planet is more akin to the change in both meaning and use of "thou" and "you".
Yes. You seem to have problems accepting change. I guess that's partly why you reject evolution.One day you think you're right -- the next you find out you've been wrong.
A better example of what? Pointless questions?Come up with a better example,
Then what is it about?I can't stress enough that this thread is not about Pluto, per se.

I know where you're coming from.I tried that, but the threads I was in got very weird. There were replies without the quoted material as well as the missing posts by you. I "de-blocked" you but mostly just ignore you.

Meaningless question; it's comparing apples & oranges - evolution is a theory, an explanation. Pluto being called the 9th planet is a convenient categorisation, changed when it became inconvenient.In another thread, someone made this comment:
If this is your sentiment as well, were you wrong about Pluto being our ninth planet?
Post 20 please.But in neither case is it about being 'right' or 'wrong', it's just about utility and conceptual clarification.
Show me....but you made up the exchange in post 20, and it's wrong.
Here you go:Post 20 please.
Ah, post 24?Show me.
