BINGO!Things prone to errors ought not to be (fully) trusted.
So you had Soviet textbooks?My science textbooks in the 1950s were full of lies and half truths. Do you really believe that today's science truths won't be replaced by 'better' truths'?
The Holy Bible's creation account is true and in no danger of being updated or replaced.
Look around, what's actually happening in the world is that the Biblical Creation story IS being replaced by a new Creation story opened up by science.The Holy Bible's creation account is true and in no danger of being updated or replaced.
How can it be a consensus, if it is ever changing? Something can't change without challenging the consensus.And there is nothing wrong with learning. But science is largely a consensus and it is ever-changing,
No they were not. They gave the best science as was known at that time. With the improvement of technology and lab equipment scientists are able to investigate better and with higher accuracy the physical world, and hence correct previous mistakes or improve on the description of the physical world. But they were not lying. Not then, not now.My science textbooks in the 1950s were full of lies and half truths.
Sure, and I hope so. Otherwise it would mean that science is stagnating.Do you really believe that today's science truths won't be replaced by 'better' truths'?
Stagnating.The Holy Bible's creation account is true and in no danger of being updated or replaced.
Except that it is not "a story".Look around, what's actually happening in the world is that the Biblical Creation story IS being replaced by a new Creation story opened up by science.
And that science story is going to get closed when Jesus comes back and puts physical reality on IGNORE.Look around, what's actually happening in the world is that the Biblical Creation story IS being replaced by a new Creation story opened up by science.
No. For claiming to not be wrong even when all of history shows that science is always correcting itself.Are you criticizing science for being self-correcting.
I don't know what your point is. Science is evidence based, claims are not necessary. The theory that is a better fit with the evidence and makes better predictions becomes the prevailing theory.No. For claiming to not be wrong even when all of history shows that science is always correcting itself.

Let's talk about projection.claims of an imaginary reality.
Or read my last post where it is discussed in research.Let's talk about projection.
It had nothing to do with what I wrote, namely science is evidence based. Your psychology paper does not dispute that science is evidence based.Or read my last post where it is discussed in research.

The concept of evidence is very well defined in the sciences due to human nature. We see it time after time here when creationists are presented evidence and then deny it. Or when they claim to have evidence, it never meets the definition of scientific evidence. The definition of scientific evidence was not written for evolution but it perfectly shows why creationism is not science. No scientific evidence for an idea demonstrates that it is not 'science".DR – the ultimate Self-ER (a perfect dream condition).
But each person gets to decide what the "best fit" is. And even what is "best." And what is "evidence." And even what "fit" means. And "Prevailing" really has no connection to the final actual reality that we call "tomorrow" except through "statistics" which we invent. Words like "most" and "recent" and "authoritative" are used to describe claims of an imaginary reality.
Do you really feel that the conclusion of a research paper is not a claim?
Conclusion
In this paper we explored presence and different elements that contribute to it. Presence is not just “being there” but a combination of multiple feelings and most importantly “experiencing the reality.” The two main factors affecting presence due to mediation are Perceptual Illusion and Psychological Illusion. These factors evoke an illusion of reality in our mind in which we feel presence. We are constantly subjected to such illusions of reality, during which we experience presence differently from that of our apparent real world. This illusion of reality is called ER.
Evoked Reality is not just media-evoked but can also be self-evoked. Media-ER may range from the mild effect of a painting to an extremely plausible immersive Virtual Reality experience while a Self-ER may range from a simple thought to an exceptionally believable DR (the strength of ER may not necessarily be in the same order, as it depends on one’s qualia and personal characteristics). This dual nature of ER led us to define three poles of reality: primary reality – the unaltered and unmediated Real World, SR – the ultimate Media-ER (a perfect Virtual Reality condition) and DR – the ultimate Self-ER (a perfect dream condition). Thus ER is an illusion of reality formed in our mind, which is different from Primary Reality. It’s a combined illusion of space and events, or at least one of them. It is in this ER, one would experience presence. Thus EP is the spatiotemporal experience of an ER.

Edgar a creationist wrote at Peaceful Science
"Creationism is actually science. By now, empirical science has made it perfectly obvious that viable life is so functionally complex that it could not possibly have happened by chance.
In effect, Abiogenesis-by-Chance has officially been declared a superstition - not to mention, an insult to human intelligence.
Faced with the scientific impossibility of chance, the only rational - and therefore, scientific - explanation for the origin of life is design, or more specifically, divine creation. Voila! … Creation is science. Get used to it."
He wont need to. Fundamentalist have shown time and again that they are ignorant.And that science story is going to get closed when Jesus comes back and puts physical reality on IGNORE.
“I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.” - Socrates
And now he's in aitch.And so they killed him.
As did some of his contemporaries.Socrates was endlessly curious and wanted to learn and understand the world around him.
