Capuchin, I think we've taken this as far as we're going to get for now, and I'll give you the last word after I say this. You keep moving the goal posts here and that's why so many of these discussions never get anywhere. I've said nothing about "every time" and only one side of this is "completely blind," and it ain't the guy who's learned to play golf, honed his skills and aimed for the sweet spot.

I'm trying to equate it to the bridge game, because you seem adverse to cards.

Every time you flip a coin, something that only has a 1/2 chance to happen always happens. Every time you roll a die, something that only has a 1/6 chance to happen always happens.
Every time you deal a game of bridge, something that only has a 1 in 53,644,737,765,488,792,839,237,440,000 chance of happening always happens.

Things you don't expect to happen can happen. Deal with it.

It's not a case of "we don't know" so teach both in schools. Creationism has a single 2000 year old book as evidence. Evolution has fossil records, observed evolution, and a whole host of other evidence. Creationism is a theory in search of evidence. Evolution is the logical explanation of the evidence. That's why it's accepted by science, that's why it's taught in schools. You're right that only one side of this is completely blind.

Is that your last word on this?

Capuchin · Jul 27, 2007, 11:04 AM

Yes, if what you said was your last word, which seemingly it wasn't.

If you rely on science then how can you believe in love?

Capuchin · Jul 27, 2007, 12:31 PM

I don't believe in emotions, I feel them. Don't you?

Canada_Sweety · Jul 27, 2007, 12:31 PM

My point exactly

It's a feeling, not something you can touch or read or see.

Capuchin · Jul 27, 2007, 12:31 PM

Sure they are, show someone in a CAT scanner an image that makes them happy, their brain lights up in the happy area.

Capuchin · Jul 27, 2007, 12:34 PM

Emotions are scientifically observable and falsifiable. They have a cause and effect. The biological effects are also studyable. When feeling love your heartbeat raises, many other changes happen to the body. You can see emotions..

Be that as it may, science can't prove everything.

On a separate note, I LOVE CAPUCHIN MONKEYS!<3
