This is a normal post Erm...
I have. That's exactly why I started this thread! If you apply Occam's Razor (the simplest explanation is probably the correct one, in the absence of contradictory evidence) to this mindless experiment, one is left with a simple conclusion:

Don't bother.

Occam's Theory does not suggest not bothering to do research to find the facts just because you have made an assumption, if it does then it is, as you put it yourself "a load of bollocks".

"Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups."

That isn't a theory, that is a fact.




Edit: I wanted to change "complete idiot" to fool, but b3ta won't let me, oh well...

This is a normal post Yes dear.
Science is not a doctrine.

Assuming that you are right and others are wrong and not bothering to test is precisely the ignorance you are accusing the religious nutjobs of.

At least they don't pretend that they have reached their conclusion logically.

This is a normal post Are you serious?
So why the fuck study and research anything? Surely the term probably in the statement suggests as much that one should set out to find the contradictory evidence all the more.

Granted, studying why leaves are green would be a stupid endeavour. But the fact is that it has been proven categorically the reason why.

No-one has ever proven or disproved that there is a spirit world! Therefore, in my opinion, it is not unreasonable to further research it.
