My Tectonic Plates Challenge

[Tropical Wilds]

Have you been to the Great Physician?

Is that like The Wizard of Oz?

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Between these two sentences, did you teach that your turquoise green pen belonged in with the green pens?

And if you tested anyone on it, did you mark any answer wrong that said otherwise?

In addition, how would you mark any answer that says it goes in with the green pens today?

Yes, I did tell people that if they use my pens, they need put them where they belonged, including turquoise green. And if they didn’t, yes, I would say “please put my stuff back where it belongs if you’re taking it out…” If they kept putting it with the green pens, I’d keep telling them “ok, it doesn’t go there anymore, it goes with the blue pens. With the greens there now, which are mostly yellow green, and this is a more blueish green, it makes more sense that it goes with the blue.”

And, if all my green pens dried up tomorrow, yes, I would move the turquoise green back to the greens.

I'll take that as a "No."

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, I did tell people that if they use my pens, they need put them where they belonged, including turquoise green.

So, in looking back over the period between those two sentences, you thought you had 14 brushes at first when, in reality, there were 140 brushes?

Can we say your decimal point was off by one place?

 

[Tropical Wilds]

I'll take that as a "No."

Pretty sure I can’t go to Jesus for an eyeglass prescription.

 

[AV1611VET]

Pretty sure I can’t go to Jesus for an eyeglass prescription.

And you can't go to the Wizard of Oz for eternal life.

Or, more likely, I owned 14 and then I acquired 146 more.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

I’m not sure you know what the point you’re trying to make is.

 

[AV1611VET]

So, in Pluto's case, are you saying that, after 1930, our solar system acquired more planets, causing Pluto to have to be demoted?

 

[AV1611VET]

I’m not sure you know what the point you’re trying to make is.

It's simple:

Science can take a hike.

Our solar system? No.

Other systems? Yes.

Since 1990, we’ve found 5,700+ of them, actually.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Science can take a hike.

Some of us aren’t so excited to cast of the shackles of being well educated as others, I suppose.

I suppose that means math is out too, since they’re entirely linked and inseparable. Can’t say I’m mad about that one, though.

 

[AV1611VET]

Our solar system? No.

Then your analogy doesn't apply.

 

[AV1611VET]

No argument there.

I suppose that means math is out too, since they’re entirely linked and inseparable.

If math contradicts the Bible, math can take a hike.

One poster here uses math as a poster child for the Bible being wrong, based on the Bible [allegedly] saying Pi is 3.0.

Can’t say I’m mad about that one, though.

Want some math?

7/7 = 1

3/3 = 1

0/0 = what?

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Then your analogy doesn't apply.

Well it does, you just don’t like that it does and cannot refute that it does, lol.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

No argument there.

Rare omission of not being well informed on your part, but ok.

If math contradicts the Bible, math can take a hike.

LoL, what? Seriously? Math is math, my guy.

One poster here uses math as a poster child for the Bible being wrong, based on the Bible [allegedly] saying Pi is 3.0.

I find it fascinating how hard some people will work to be utterly wrong at really basic things and decide the solution isn’t to make themselves more knowledgeable but to demand everybody around them be stupid.

Want some math?

7/7 = 1

3/3 = 1

0/0 = what?

Based off of that information, the logical answer would be 1, unless you’re not sequencing, then the answer would be 0 or undefined. More information is needed, which means that when it is discovered, we will have a new and more correct answer.

It's not even if the Bible is contradicted. It's only if HIS interpretation of the Bible is contradicted, then 'science can take a hike'.

See, I haven’t caught this show yet, this is new information to me, lol.

Yeah, it's a show alright. Whether a good one or not... eh.

 

[Astrophile]

Pluto is an example of inaccurate scientific information.

Else it would not have been classified as our 9th planet.

I have explained already that in 1930 and for 60 years after that it was reasonable to classify Pluto as a planet. It is in orbit around the Sun, and it is large enough to be spherical. During the period from 1930 to 1992, Pluto was the only known extra-Neptunian object, so the question whether it had cleared its orbit did not arise. It was only when many more extra-Neptunian objects were discovered that it became necessary to define a new class of objects (dwarf planets) among those that move in heliocentric orbits.

By the way, do you seriously think that the change in the classification of Pluto invalidates the whole of science?
