#1378, "RE: Final thoughts."


          

Actually when it comes to discussions like these one can in my opinion work three different points.

1. Direct evidence. This requires deep understanding of the subject and the ability to read and understand science papers and reports correctly.

2. My scientists are better than your scientists. Pointing out flaws in the other ones scientists and their failed reasoning and/or their hidden agendas.

3. A whole different philosophy/background. Like introducing god into a scientific discussion. Then it becomes more about the scientific method and its faults vs some different view on the world.

Problem I see here is that you refuse to do 1. because you (much like me) don't know enough to refute 1000+ advanced science papers. The second one you say is a authority argument and that leaves the third one. But the problem is you seem to refuse to apply it on anything else than evolution.

This all shows how hard it is to discuss a subject like this because it can only be true or false. A discussion about for example "Are the US doing good in Iraq" can be filled with opinions like "Because of X I think they suck" or "Nah, if you look at Y I think it will turn out alright".

So what should I say. What is it you don't trust about it? The evidence? The scientists? The scientific method/our view at world?
