Vital Force of the Universe.... Vital Force of the Universe.... What the heck is the vital force of the universe? Some metaphysical concept? Perhaps we could elaborate on this just a tad bit, perhaps you could expatiate........David Waffen said:As all intelligent scientists know, so called "X-rays" are part of the overall Vital Force of the Universe. Obviously these forces must exist, otherwise we would not be able to use them to live and the case of "X-rays", measure them passing through substances.
What do you mean by this, do you mean that suddenly the idea popped up? Who is this 'they'? What is this "other nonsense"? As well are you positive on your claim that the Earth popped out of the Sun? I seem to recall that solar systems were originally spinning gas clouds that through gravity clumped together to create planets....David Waffen said:The problem with science is that a few hundreds years ago people reached the "Age of Reason" (Paine) - where they attempted to lie to the masses in order to convince people that man can understand the mysteries of the Vital Force for their own perverse reasons. Suddenly mankind evolved from animals, the Earth popped out of the Sun - which was part of the "Big Bang" which they say started from virtual particles and a bunch of other nonsense.
I think that this is quite interesting reasoning... You make a claim that there is no such thing as DNA because some one existing around that time made the claim that it doesn't exist. Let's use this reasoning to its extremes:David Waffen said:The Vital Force can not be understood, only observed. There is no 'atom' just different natures and ranges of the Vital Force.
Hermann Kolbe of the University of Leipzig, one of the leading organic chemists of 1877 called the idea of understanding the bonding nature of "carbon" a "document crammed to the hilt with the outpourings of a childish fantasy . . . . This Dr. J. H. van Hoff, employed by the Veterinary College at Utrecht, has, so it seems, no taste for accurate chemical research. He finds it more convenient to mount his Pegasus (evidently taken from the stables of the Veterinary College) and to announce how, on his bold flight to Mount Parnassus, he saw the atoms arranged in space"
So who are you going to believe, a 22-year with a childish fantasy or the leading organic chemists? The world took his lie and had a fun time spinning it. They knew if they could convince the world of this nonsense, they could attack the Vital Force and make themselves greater than they were. It should be pointed out that this child got a Nobel Prize as a reward for his lie- no motivation for it, of course.
Nowadays it is used to make up stuff like DNA, etc.
=meI think so too, although it has to be said that he's not even doing a good job at that. Someone like orange was much, much better at provoking angry responses.

Oh shut up.David Waffen said:I studied Greek Mythology in school, doesn't mean it is true.
