Shocking as this may be, when I said "You'd think we'd have a sticky for that" I was not being tongue-in-cheek.

does "I`ll make you famous" ring a bell? LOL :)

 

[edit] in my refusal to drop to the level of inane off topicness, a general deffinition of science from MY OWN personal view, would be the study of quantity and qualities of observed events that maybe subject to testing without difference. although this is incomplete and I`m sure someone can and probably will pick holes in it, that`s basicly the way I`de define "Science" when given a minute or 2 to think about it :)

yet, was alchemy a science or not, the thing is that we must differenciate that perhaps socially was accepted as science, and was the basis for chemistry... but yet... it was not science. according to today.

 

Is like a person that has been put into jail for murdering... in this time, the guy is a murderer... but... after some time we find that this guy isnt murderer at all, the murderer was another person identified by some DNA test or something.. then this guy is set to freedom... then this man.. in now days...

should he be considered as muerderer? of course not... he is now non guilty from the evidence. and even if in those times he was considered as murderer he wasnt murderer at all...

 

This is something for you all to reflex, specially Jakiri and Sayonara.

This is quite a nice definition, but it takes in it all.... such like.. if i study the kinds of gods... it good be the gods science... and if i study the anything... it would be the science of anything... then you get that all studies are science... and if study = science then you have 2 perfectly equal concepts...there is the trick.

 

But if you use the definition and steps of scientific method. then you have the difference...

 

This is not an argument against you... is mostly... and adding to you all to reflex about it.

Exactly what are you trying to say?

 

He's saying we're murderers, rebels without a cause. Members of the Irkan elite.

You wish.

 

I say this because well, Sayonara seem to have a nice misunderstanding about what a science is, because in the debate i asked for "scientific debunked theories"

 

Chemistry:

 

Phlogiston Theory

 

as far as i know phlogiston theory was alchemy not chemistry....

 

what about that....

as far as i know

There's your first mistake.

 

Your second mistake was taking one example of something that is not a science from the many I offered, and randomly deciding that since you did not agree on the discipline it belongs to, I am therefore devoid of any idea as to what science is.

 

Even ignoring the vast reams of evidence to the contrary, the reasoning there makes no sense whatsoever.

Well.. thats what i know... and its perfectly known as alchemy not chemistry as you said. and i choose that one, because there is your mistake.

And you are saying that not knowing all is a mistake ( as far as i know means... all what i know)

 

That you cant be cable to see your mistakes, well... its up to you.

 

What i agree or not doesn't comes to scene, its all about what i say.

 

you said this:

 

Your second mistake was taking one example of something that is not a science..

Chemistry:

 

Phlogiston Theory

 

So... you are saying that chemistry is not science....

 

 

Or tell me why is Phlogiston Theory a scientific debunked chemistry theory.. i am very cofused...( sarcasm) :)

Why is that?

 

You told me that I said "chemistry is not a science" because I said Phlogiston theory was obsolete (I mean, what the ****?). That's about the most logic-free thing you have ever said.

 

The ramblings about mistakes don't really tell me anything. Where you said "as far as i know means... all what i know" you were not entirely correct. Saying "Afaik" means that one believes one's position based on the information one has available, but one is implying that the information is likely to be incomplete or incorrect.

 

Hence why it was a mistake to use "as far as i know phlogiston theory was alchemy not chemistry" as your sole argument that I "seem to have a nice misunderstanding about what a science is", particularly in the face of the aforementioned reams of evidence to the contrary.

No i said, that you said Phlogiston theory was chemistry. thought phlogiston is actually alchemy.

No, it just means, that the person is saying something based in all that he knows.

Sorry but you lost this already.

Whether one takes my interpretation or your own, "that was your first mistake" applies equally.

lol, yeah ok.
