God you’re a ‘tard. PERHAPS if you had defined the word “belief” in your own words so we clearly understood WHAT you mean when YOU use it you could clearly SEE the uses of the word and (get this) MEANING…
First instance of Sheldon’s use - self explanatory.
Second instance of Sheldon’s use - equates with “confidence” (eg, “I believe I’ll eat supper tonight” “I believe the sun will rise in the morning” (from our perspective ie a sunrise) BASED on evidence of past experience and confidence that most likely those events will repeat themselves [even though there is a minute chance that it may not occur - one obviously more likely than the other missing a meal vs catastrophic solar event)
I already answered this once already, We need to form beliefs about the world or we would not be able to interact with reality, but your claim this means objective reality is only true if we believe it is an absurdly dishonest misrepresentation.
I have no idea what new duplicity you’re attempting with the rest of that verbiage, but scientific facts are both true and valid. More semantics to avoid addressing your OP lie?
You link and click and pat your back -
get your panties in a knot over Sheldon and something dumb - ANYTHING but actually engage -
discuss-
talk-
AND express yourself.
Stick with you’re AI stuff ‘cause you’re a self-serving robot
Not worth anymore “time” BECAUSE you (not you’re fucking “papers”) ADD no value!!!
GodBennett "I said you essentially expressed that belief is required to do science, not that belief affects how objective reality is.
Oh dear, I am wondering again now if English really is your first language?
Or are you trying to claim that scientific truths are not part of reality?
One more time then:
**WE NEED TO FORM BELIEFS ABOUT REALITY IN ORDER TO INTERACT WITH IT, AND A BELIEF IS THE AFFIRMATION OF A CLAIM. THE CLAIM DOES NEED US TO BELIEVE IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO HOLD TRUE, AS YOU LIED I HAD CLAIMED IN YOUR OP. **
You don’t think scientific facts are part of objective reality? Really? You lied in the OP, and misrepresented what I had said, and have relentlessly repeated the lie throughout this thread.
I said we can’t interact with reality without forming beliefs aboout it, you the claimed this mean since we interact with science this meant I was claiming we needed to believe in it (your words) in order for science to hold true.
I will try bullet points.
We need to form beliefs in order to interact with reality.
those beliefs may or may not be objectively true.
Scientific facts are a part of objective reality.
Those scientific facts (pay attention) would hold true (your words), regardless of whether anyone believed them.
Christ almighty I could have made a gerbil understand this by now.
Of course you fucking did, you said, and this is a verbatim quote:
Ipso fact you claimed I thought scinetific facts would not hold true unless we believed them, scientific facts are part of objective reality…
I can only hope this is a puerile windup and you’re being deliberately obtuse.
