Don(Wyziwyg)T: "Steve and Goofus FFS stop using the words "belief" and "believe" in your futile attempts to portray science as a belief or faith system."

Steve Pshaw: "I am not so pompous that I disdain from being bracketed with "Goofus", but I would thank you, Don, to refrain from describing me as someone who sees science as some sort of belief system. I think (and it is late at night) that you have the wrong man, Don."



From: something about 'beliefs' in here....
"Kepler's Supernova

According to Walusinsky,[82] Galileo's fame as an astronomer dates to his observation and discussion of Kepler's supernova in 1604. Since this new star displayed no detectable diurnal parallax, Galileo concluded that it was a distant star, and therefore disproved the Aristotelian BELIEF in the immutability of the heavens. His public advocacy of this view met with strong opposition."

Spot the magic word??...YES, science does have it's 'bouts' with 'beliefs'.....

OH, and by the way...."According to Stephen Hawking, Galileo probably bears more of the responsibility for the birth of modern science than anybody else,[151] and Albert Einstein called him the father of modern science."

You mean he saw through the old science, 'Aristotelian BELIEF in the immutability of the heavens'...my my!
maybe we have yet to discover that YOU believe in an 'old system' as well!

As i mentioned before, and is said in the video.."This is where science and the 'spiritual' come together in a most profound way". I didn't make it up...The scientist said it!
But you're 'too hip' for the room.

(still grinning!)
