Ya know, a problem I see again and again, in some groups more than others, is not just ignorance, but arrogant pride in being ignorant.

Eyes barn ignit, eyes die ignit.

This would be easy (but not quick) to test. Just run a simulation of 3E9 chances with 1E-8 chance for each base, and make a list of the number of mutations after, say, 30 runs of the simulation.

Then take the standard deviation of that set of 30 numbers, and see what the chances are of getting a "0".

Then, multiply that chance by the world population of 7E9, and see if you get a number greater than 1.

I think you would, because it would seem, from just a gut feel, that the number would vary between around 12 to 45 or so. If that were the case, then the SD would be around 10 ish, putting 3 SD in the single digits. About 1% will fall below the 3SD line, and 1% of 3E9 is 10 million people!

I'd much rather see someone do it than my gut level guess, which is likely wrong.

Interesting. Perhaps you are right.

Yes they are philosophers.

Tell me, what does phd stand for?

Scientists do science. Philosophers sometimes do philosophy. The titles are old traditions.

 

[Rilke's Granddaughter]

It's fine lol. I like when people look down upon me, and criticize because I'm not equally as intellegent.....yet. This makes good practice for when I challenge others in the academic environment though!!

Given your refusal to learn, I doubt you will pose much of a challenge.

 

[AV1611VET]

You and AV should get along wonderfully.
(Side bet, I'd wager you'll also love Dad)

Don't think for one minute you're exempt.

Last I checked, only God holds the title "omniscient."

You might be a whiz in a laboratory, but where are you in other areas?

I learn something new everyday. If I wasn't reading I wouldn't be here posting any of this.

The things I read I guess go against popular opinion. I don't claim to know everything, but I'm trying to grasp this stuff and how it plays on society.

As for the Protocols. I never said that they were 100% fact. When I read them I did my own research, and when I looked into lets say, banking, I was very shocked at what I saw.

Give me time, I'm very young and have a long way to go lol.

We all do in some way or another.

 

[chilehed]

Other people are better qualified than I to show Hovind's ignorance of biology.

But I am very qualified to speak about Thermodynamics, and Hovind's discussions on that topic are laughable. Don't waste your time.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Give me time, I'm very young and have a long way to go lol.

And there are plenty of people who will be happy to help you along.

Unfortunately, there are also plenty of people who will be happy to exploit you for profit or self-gratification. Hovind will do it for both.

 

[Rilke's Granddaughter]

And that is the very reason you should be keeping an open mind now, rather that assuming everyone in academia is lying to you. You sound as though you have already erected barriers against learning, and have started cherry-picking data to fit your preconceptions.

That is fatal to your personal integrity.

As a wise man once remarked, "The first principle is not to fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."

 

[Subduction Zone]

Geezzzz you guys make me feel so stupid lol. I'm so worthless.

Look, while I'm in class and these professors feed me all these lies that gender is a social construct, and homosexualty is natural I have to think what other lies are being told by "science".

Homosexuality will naturally seem to be wrong to you. We have an inborn distrust of the alien and there lifestyle is probably very alien to you. Biologically it is natural. Almost all mammals exhibit some sort of homosexual behavior fromt time to time. It is natural in the sense that it is not a choice, it is a condition that you are born with.

So you should not let your natural prejudices affect your thinking mind. Sometimes instinct can be wrong. And before you say that your professors are lying to you perhaps you should look and see what they are actually saying.

That being said, let's get back to science. Science is repeatable. If you cannot repeat the results of an experiment that casts strong doubts on the first experiment. I am willing to help anyone who really wants to learn about what science is and how and why it works.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Your arrogance offends me.

Your offense causes us indifference.

That science they teach me is all political. I love learning. I want to know my enemy. I like to challenge this stuff, it makes my life worth living.

And who is your enemy, AP?

 

[AP26]

Your offense causes us indifference.

And who is your enemy, AP?

The ideology.

 

[florida2]

The ideology.

What ideology? Are you against all science?

 

[AP26]

What ideology? Are you against all science?

Am I against? I wouldn't say so. I just don't trust it.

Some of these ideologies I beleive are dangerous and are out to hurt society, rather then to make it better.

Like I stated with homosexuality. Science first believed that it was an illness. This was overturned in 1972. The reason it was overturned to not being an illness is not because of the APA, but the ACLU.

I believed the normalizing of homosexuality is used to destroy the family. Sick? Maybe. But this is how I look at it. Thats why I has stated in earlier posts, I beleive a lot of this stuff is political.

 

[TLK Valentine]

The ideology.

What ideology? Come on, be specific. Can you explain what you're so gung-ho against? Do you even know?

The atheistic perception of life. Good enough?

It's not like we see that sorta stuff naturally in nature or anything.
