Oh dear, look what’s leaving a bad smell in my in tray, just as I finallly had some time to devote to my JavaScript project …
Apparently you’re unaware of an embarrassing fact. Namely, that the moment testable natural processes are demonstrated to be sufficient to explain observed entities and interactions, then cartoon magic men from pre-scientific mythologies become superfluous to requirements and irrelevant, which in a way is even worse for mythology fanboys.
Bullshit. ALL the evidence available points to testable natural processes being responsible for the universe and its contents, not an imaginary cartoon magic man from a Bronze Age mythology. That evidence is provided by the contents of several million peer reviewed scientific papers, many of which document successful direct experimental test and verification of relevant postulates, a level of support that your favourite Bronze Age mythology and its frequently cretinous assertions have never enjoyed.
Correction, it’s an ideological choice. One involving zero robust or rigorous evidential support, which tends to be the case with ideological choices.
Yawn. Funny how mythology fanboys can never come up with a proper, rigorous means of “finding” their cartoon magic man, it always boils down to “treat the unsupported assertions of my favourite Bronze Age mythology uncritically as fact, and my cartoon magic man will make voices in your head”.
First of all, neither you nor any other mythology fanboy, has ever provided proper evidence for your cartoon magic man. All you have to offer here is “my favourite Bronze Age mythology says so, therefore it’s true”. Which is risible.
Furthermore, your Bronze Age mythology contains within its pages, assertions that are not merely wrong, but fatuous and absurd, such as that cretinous bilge about genetics being controlled by coloured sticks.
Speaking of which, I note the hilarity of seeing the few mythology fanboys who don’t run away from this, resort to pretzel mental gymnastics and rococo ex recto apologetic fabrications, to try and hand-wave away the embarrassment of having their Biblical literalism destroyed by the manner in which reality pisses on this particular assertion from a great height. For which, ironically, we have a 19th century monk to thank, along with his diligent scientific experiments teaching us how genetics actually operates.
Guess what, Looby Loo? It doesn’t take “faith” for this, because the observable and measurable demonstrably work. Scientists are able to verify their postulates via reliably repeatable experiments. Whereas all you have to offer is “!my favourite Bronze Age mythology says so”.
Furthermore, as I’ve already covered above, those reliably repeatable experiments tell anyone who pays attention thereto, that testable natural processes are responsible for what we objserve, not a cartoon magic man from a Bronze Age mythology. Indeed, your fanine-free, disease-free life surrounded by expensive electronic toys, was made possible by the same scientific endeavour that rendered your cartoon magic man superfluous to requirements and irrelevant.
Worse still for mythology fanboys like you, scientists have alighted upon vast classes of entities and interactions, that the piss-stained nomads who scribbled your Bronze Age mythology were incapable of even fantasising about. Indeed, said piss-stained nomads knew nothing about the existence of five major continental land masses on this planet, and if you live on one of those land masses, this should be a source of embarrassment to you. The same scientists covered above, have also placed said classes of entities and interactions into usefully predictive quantitative frameworks of genuine, substantive knowledge, of a sort that the authors of your mythology would have regarded as magic. Yet, I was able to replicate numerous of the experiments in question as a teenager in my science classes, and successfully to boot. So no, it doesn’t require “faith” to accept scientific postulates, because they’ve been tested.
You really are an amateur at this, aren’t you?
