starwolf: I do not “misunderstand the view that scientist have of science”.
Thank you though for so eloquently attempting to represent scientists and science
as a whole. I cannot & do not speak for all scientists, however, I make a distinction between science & those who study it. (notice I didn’t comment about studying science)
starwolf said; “The important thing about the science is the data, not the theory.
the theory has to fit the data, not the other way around”
Lets Talk about “The Big Bang Theory.” What conclusive data do they have
to fit that theory?
Next Lets Talk about doctors, I didnt bring up doctors. They are shluchim of HB”H
(at least most of them) & even though they have a long way to go, at least they have pure evidence to observe, study, & learn from. They are able to examine & explore
human bodies, test animals etc.. & figure out as best as they can what is going on.
zalmy: read what feivel wrote.
My degrees? Come into my office and you’ll see them on the wall.
feivel: thanks for getting my point, as some have obviously missed.
Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, or perhaps some scientists pickup
only on what their data tells them minus the common sense.
in mathematical form:
Data
– Common Sense
