this attempts to explain how, not the why. i especially like the part where the piece states the placebo effect isn't actually real. that's just plain BS.
i just realized i can spin this to your detriment that is but then you will hate me i do not like that
You give yourself too much importance G. Imagine me laughing at anything you could possibly do, and me dwelling on it for no more than one second befor forgetting you completely.
For the most part, true. Why's are things generally reserved for humans and chickens: "Why did you just slap me honey?" or "Why did the chicken cross the road?" But ultimately, the why of things is fairly useless. Why do electrons have a negative charge? Theoretically interesting.
i agree. why a non medical procedure would cure you is irrelevant. why will a dye make warts disappear? yes, why is fairly useless.
how so? this is a seperate matter. relevance? to? you spinless wretch. you have something to say gus, then just come out and say it. you've suddenly felt the urge to start yanking my chain. i don't know why. start talking.
Hi, Outlandish. Somehow I missed your reply when you made it. My apologies for that. I don't know of any scientist who would argue that the Big Bang Theory is not a theory. Why do you think that even merits a mention? Equally, I know of no scientist who would equate this with conclusive knowledge. In science all knowledge is provisional. Some knowledge, like the idea the Earth moves round the sun is so well established as to be accepted as scientific fact. But all it would take would be a single piece of contrary evidence to call this into question. The BB Theory is not quite as well established as heliocentrism, but there is a vast body of work and much evidence supporting it. As I noted before if you refer to it as just a theory , you reveal that you don't understand the principles of science very well. I have no wish to fall out with you outlandish, but on the face of it the arrogance and belligerence you ascribe to scientists seems to be more evident in your view of science. Perhaps you could remove this impression by taking a moment to explain what alternative methods you recommend for acquiring knowledge, other than the scientific method.
