Ahh yes, the old "I know you are but what am I?" line of reasoning. |
"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"
"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?" |

Right, as if cantbe is ever going to come up with something substantial. |

Doesn't look like it's gonna happen, does it?
Cabtbe's problem is that he has been arguing from the logical fallacies of Argumentum ad Logicam and Argumentum ad Ignorantium the whole while he's been here. In short, he doesn't argue; he makes an unsupported statement and that's it. There's nothing to argue with.
Logic by itself is not trustworthy. It was perfectly logical to accept Geocentrism in Galileo's day, but today it will get you laughed out of the very church that would have tried you for heresy back then.

And when the "wrongs" you point out are outside the scope of your background and experiences, you seem to enjoy parading your ignorance around. From what we've seen from you so far, your background and experiences cannot possibly include any cosmology, astronomy, biology, medicine or earth sciences from the last 100 years, but you feel more than qualified to dump on all of them. >>
Raising questions on what scientists can actually see isn't dumping. It's moving the question along and hoping for a debate from those who also recognize the need to know.

OK, lemme see here.
So far, I am seeing an appeal to incredularity, existentialism, and basic shit-stirring. Ooops, almost forgot the "no true Scotsmen" argument.
Asking questions for which you have no suggested alternate explaination. There are no claims on how these peer reviewed subjects are wrong or do not fit the data collected.
Mistrust of scientific instrumentation is not evidence of this instrumentation being wrong. That would be congruent to say that cantbe323 would also disagree with a mercury thermometer's reading because it is measuring something that can not be measured directly. "He's running a fever" is a qualitative answer, not a quantitative one. The thermometer provides a quantitative answer.
As a skeptic, I find no compelling information from my own research or anything you have presented here to call into doubt the scientific works referenced. Therefore, I must conclude that the current usage of science and the scientific method best explains the phenomenon referenced. |
