Support this with data. Otherwise its just an empty claim.

Do you have evidence that there was no life before earth?

Thats not how it works, you made an assertion, its up to you to support it.

I am attempting to, which is why I asked @Subduction Zone...I am not even close to being a "scientist"...I was offered help from a real scientist to put a hypothesis together. Being that he/she is an objective, non biased, professional, I see no reason that they would not follow through with that offer.

* I recently heard that "pseudoscience" actually aids "science". So, this endeavor should be fruitful.

Heh, you really should learn the basics. Your "hypothesis" is well, stupid.

Hey thanks. It's easy to call things stupid...a little harder to show how/why...

*Maybe you should let @Subduction Zone decide since it was directed to them in the first place.

I suggest a science 101.

After observing this world for some 30 odd years, and doing some thinking about it, I have come up with the idea that this planet exists because there are human beings populating it. As long as I've been here, and as far as I can see, humans have been here...and there is life. I look out into the vast reaches of space...I see no humans...I see no life. I think that there is a way to test this hypothesis.

If you took the time to actually follow the convo. of this thread, you would know that what I am basically asking @Subduction Zone, is if the above is, indeed, a falsifiable hypothesis.

So, @Subduction Zone, will you help me to form a testable hypothesis? Or are you scared?

I will be happy to. The first thing that I noticed is that it appears that you are improperly limiting your observations since I can observe the Earth and see a time when there were no men.

But before I go into any more detail you have to show some honesty. What happens if you step off of a tall cliff?

Now,now, you have no right to complain since you displayed obvious cowardice or dishonesty yesterday. You ran away from a simple question because you could see that it demonstrated your error.

See my post #205, for clarification on what exactly I am asking for.

Are cliffs tall?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Also, there was life before the earth. so life existed before the earth.

Oops, you do need to support this.

Are cliffs tall?

They can be. But for our question it is a tall one. Over one hundred feet in height.

I honestly don't know what your trip (pun intended) is about stepping off a cliff. First, if you are that obsessed with it, ask your question as clearly and succinctly as possible. Ask it in one way, because you've asked in several different ways already.Thank you.

Am I on a zipline?

 

[Tone]

And how tall will I be in this?

Pease, don't play stupid. If you want answers to questions you need to be honest.

 

[Tone]

And make your whole point again, so I can see how you think it hinges upon so great a victory...now that you've made such a big deal about it...I gotta see what I'm signing...

 

[Subduction Zone]

This again is a dishonest approach and will be taken as you admitting that you are wrong.

 

[Tone]

It feels like you're trying to pressure me into some kinda contract...or something...

 

[Subduction Zone]

Nope, you lost. Good night.

"stupid"...there's that word again...no worries...I get it all the time...

...I know you are...but what am I...?
