Wasting your time azrad. Card blindly distrusts sciences, he will never accept reasonable terms like repeatable experiments. He incorrectly assumes that because science, and nothing else for that matter, cannot 100% prove anything that that means it must be distrusted. He also likes to throw around meaningless platitudes about how scientists are too rigid with their belief system because they dont zealously chase down fringe claims from mostly uneducated conspiracy theorists and amateur scientists. Hilarious to anyone who's ever been inside of a college science department and seen the skepticism that most learned scientists act on.
I like to log on to this very thread once a month or so just to see who else falls for Card's trap (having tried to argue with him on multiple occasions with literal zero breakthrough). Sad to say this week you're the poor dote attempting to explain something to one of the most closed minded people there is in this small but interesting subforum. Ironic when he acts under the guise of "opening his mind to new possibilities" or w/e it is he thinks he's doing by blindly chasing every conspiracy theory there is.
Don't take that to mean he's always wrong, even a blind squirrel finds nuts. It is the closeminded attitude and general defensive nature that makes discussion with him fruitless. Even paging through breitbart or clipping your nails is a better use of your time i've found. Its like a game of football inside of a centrifuge, not only the goalposts but the entire pitch itself constantly moving.
what lies you tell yourself, it's funny to hear the crazy talk in your head, I don't have a blind distrust of science - If you consider the entirety of science I would say 95+ % is correct - the stuff that is most questionable is the version of history and stuff that is older than 2000 years. This particular experiment that Henry Cavendish invented is highly flawed, he said he had to be 100s of meters away or else he would infect the results - so now you think you can minature it, put it in a tiny plastic box, stand right next to it and repeat the results in 5 minutes and this somehow proves all item have gravity. I really don't understand how you can say that science proves nothing, but in this one failed experiment it proved something? Nice fail logic.
You say I talk about conspiracy theories, can you name any of them? The word "theory" implies an explanation that only might be true, like the Big Bang Theory, the evolution theory, the theory of non existence, the theory of multiple universes, what I've presented in this thread is actual evidence, tangible evidence I believe in, theories are merely debatable. I happen to think most "conspiracy" theories are wrong or just an attempt to troll the weak minded, kinda like the Bigfoot one that you told me you totally believe, and I find pure hilarious. Do you not understand the difference between actual tangible evidence and a hypothetical theory of explanation? But anyway I see your point - that if I question any small part of science, I must be attacking all of science, more failed lies of grade 2 logic. You religtards are funny with all your venomous poison you try to pass off as words and ideas, truly hilarious.
