Science and Evidence

Skeptics constantly throw the word evidence at believers as if it has some spectacular meaning. Is that too difficult for you to understand? Does not compute?

First of all when you give a dictionary definition of the word evidence to a skeptic it is evidence for the word evidence, but a skeptic will say it doesn't mean much. [b]Definition of evidence[/b]: "The available body of facts or information indicating [b]whether a belief[/b] or proposition is true or valid." Two important points: first the evidence is used to determine if true or not, and second it includes whether or not a belief as well as proposition is true or valid. Truth is defined as a fact or belief that is accepted as true.

Either way you look at it believers have more evidence and truth than science because they believe it more and it is accepted more. It's almost completely meaningless. Saying science has the evidence is like saying you believe current science to be a valid belief. These facts may change but we are told by science to believe them. For now. We evolved. There was no flood. We are not religious because we don't believe there are any gods. We believe there are no gods. We have no way of knowing what a god is.

It's always fun to watch you guys twist in the wind to justify make believe due to fear. It's cute albeit a little sad.
@Ynotisay You may call it make believe, but many of the people on this forum call it science.

@AkioTsukino Well I guess that "many people" aren't too sharp and lean in to hateful, oppressive, immoral, freedom-hating cults out of weakness. Shitty way to live life but that's on them.

You think that that can't or hasn't happened with science?

@AkioTsukino Fight your make believe enemies dude. You must get something out of it. I know why you do it but you need to figure that out for yourself.
@Ynotisay I have no enemies and I think, as Shakespeare said, you do protest too much.

@AkioTsukino Said the guy arguing over and over on this thread to try to convince others that belief carries more weight than science. Seems like science and best available facts might be the enemy of belief, huh? Yeah. It is.

You're a little bit of a smart ass, aren't you? I am too, but I'm usually not so smug and pretentious about it. Yeah. You are.

@AkioTsukino It's ok tiger'. You're totally free to live in whatever world of make believe you want. YOU lose because of it but, you know, feeeeelings. They appeal to some. But it's when you guys start saying you're right there's where I jump off. So yeah. I'm the smug one. Sure thing. Get off yourself dude.
