  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Seems that most of the evidence is actually guesses and suppositions with no underlying scientific method."--justlookinla

Give us examples of scientific evidence that is actually guesses and suppositions.

You didn't read the comment properly.

"Those who promoted the errors of science had evidence, didn't they? Seems that most of the evidence is actually guesses and with no underlying scientific method."

In other words, what was claimed to be evidence wasn't evidence, but was simply guesses and suppositions with no underlying scientific method.

How may 'truths' of science today are based on claims of 'we have evidence' when in fact they don't have evidence? The claim that humanity is the result of only naturalistic mechanisms is one. (Not abiogenesis)

I read it correctly.

Please give us examples of scientific evidence that is actually guesses and suppositions. Or were you just making it up?

Ayala didn't (as far as we know) contact Science about a disputed quote in a news report; frankly, that would have been a pretty bizarre thing for him to do. What he did do was write a long, thoughtful piece about all of the issues involved, and published it in Science the next year (here). No, he did not agree with Gould. Who said what at the conference doesn't matter at all. What matters is whether the scientific community was convinced or not.

The point is, and disagree if you must, the errors which science has promoted had the claim that there was evidence supporting it. It wasn't evidence based on the scientific method, thus it was only the erroneous guesses and suppositions of the opinions of scientists.

So, you actually are not able to provide even one guess or supposition.

Why should we take you at your word that science is a bunch of guesses and suppositions if you cannot even support your claim with a single one?

If you wish to claim that science is error-free, that's your decision.

Because, he is using guesses and suppositions, to claim someone else is doing the same.

That's how the fundy game works.

Science is riddled with errors. It just has many fewer errors than any other way of understanding the natural world. If you're betting against the well-established conclusions of science, you're very likely to lose money.

If you wish to lie about my claims, that is your decision.

Care to show us one guess or supposition that you claim science is rife with?

You're either in agreement that science is error free or science is not error free. Which is it?

Were the errors 'well established'?

You are claiming that the evidence is in error. Please give us examples.

I'm claiming that science has had errors in the past. These errors were presented at the tie as true, with underlying evidence. Subsequently, the truths were found to be error, the evidence not actually evidence but only guesses and suppositions of scientists.

You clearly said that the EVIDENCE is guesses and suppositions.

Please give us examples.
