You answer every explanation I make with a trip down another black hole. If your are really interested in what I have to say, reread my posts. All the information is there.

{ What do you mean by “pre-concluded” mindset?}

You have said that you have already made up your mind on some things and your conclusion is the end of the story; as far as you are concerned.

I think I was unclear with my last post. I should have said that “I feel like I’m playing word games with you. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Maybe the word “truth” is the problem. I don’t like the word in the sense you are using it, I.E. the truths I live by or the truths I believe. I have not seen any evidence for the existence of “absolute truth”

{ When I have determined that something is true, I like it. I feel like I’m playing word games.}

Well, stop playing with your words and study what you have said. Your truths have to agree with your pre-concluded mind set and so only the things you want to be true is true to you.____Just check out what you have said here.

Where do you get “likes & dislikes” from anything I have said in my posts? Go back & read them again.

{ In my hierarchy of possibilities I rank …}

Translated, you reject some scientific evidence because you prejudged it according to your likes and dislikes.

I do not reject anything “out of hand’. In my hierarchy of possibilities I rank the likelihood of a personal, loving, cuddly God very near the bottom, even below “Popeye on the moon.” They’re all possible I guess, but for all practical purposes I don’t concern myself with them.

Rejecting out of hand something you do not understand is not the scientific way. By rejecting what others have observed, in a way you do not understand, limits your ability to grow scientifically.

If it works it brings you closer to the workings of the material world. The 19th century ether theory was disproved by the Michelson-Morley experiment so it was discarded. As my college philosophy teacher used to say: science is just “prediction & control.” If it doesn’t explain the observed phenomenon it has to be revised or discarded.
