Religion

Why didn't you point that out in the first place rather than having to clarify it after the fact? And you didn't relate in that way.

I can see that you made some valid associations there based on your perspective, but it might have been helpful in making your point. You are also making some loose connections there that are subtle and indirect, but very close to ad holmium. I don't mind, but gee, it wreaks. I prefer an open out and out attack rather then being subjected to condescending associations like that.

Again, you misread me and I feel it a bit ridiculous to have to repeat myself. I thought I made it very clear that there are "beliefs" in science that is referred to as scientism. I stand by that. That was to distinguish from knowing what methods and data are used to formulate the theory. How is that discrediting science? Or am I touching on your political views of it and evoking a flaming response? I am pro science but have little use for scientism and I would assume you know what that refers to and it can have a similarity to religious belief and I would think that is important for understanding science itself, which I advocate. Is that clear enough?

When I say you misread me, read the above and try to discern that from being simply misunderstood. What terms are you misunderstanding? I am also not looking for support in what I am saying and I just pointed out how you seem to be framing me as a covert anti-science, creationist, etc. Now, how would it be a lament that nobody understands me when i have a problem with your suppositions and obvious prejudice being directed at my comments? Actually, I am more miffed than anything else because it seems rather off the wall. You know what I mean?

If you are a self-appointed guard at the gates of science, that's fine with me, but maybe you could pick on your chosen enemies and not frame me as one of them in order to shoot something. Maybe you can admit that you did make a host of assumptions in lieu of asking questions that might make clear any misunderstandings? Assumptions and overlays like that are a bit rude, confrontational, imposing and authoritarian in some ways, whereas questions would be more reasonable and rationale.

Regurgitating debunked arguments was a very vague statement and does context matter here? Thanks! You are have managed to regurgitate a few common, though unrelated, responses as well, no? I have read many.

Hey man, sorry you had that reaction. I stand by what I said and will leave it at face value regardless of the less than elegant responses and dire need to confront them. Don't worry, science is not affected!


Thanks for the clarification.
