Did I !? Good for me !
No really, the Pope can 't deny that God doesn 't exist even he ( the Pope)
is convinced by the scientific evidence brought to him.
He is master of the christian class, denial would stand for blasphemy.
> But what do you mean by `the same goes with science'?
The very bias of science is proove and verifibility, accepting in a
way the existence of something like MR ( it sounds like a four letter
word) that lacks proove and verifible aspects would undermine its
very bias. Deniying MR helps to strenghten the bias of science's
logic method to find proove for what we claim.
No proove, no logic, no science... simple !
If Ted for instance wants to proove MR he has to do that within
the bounderies of constructing arguments, deductive or inductive,
careful constructing, he has to come up with evidence, statistics,
truthful premises,...all within the current set of the scientific logic,
another kind of logic is not permitted_ where IMO within the
scientific world a lot of " s... " is being published... but it is ok
because they use the proper language....
Ted can 't proove MR if he is bound to use arguments/ ways of
talking which are in their being against another kind of logic.
Science is a memeplex that doesn 't allow intruders...except if
they are willing to use the scientific logic of science itself.
How can he defend himself if he is obliged to use words and
methods of the party he is attacking !?
How can a lawyer defend a client if he is obliged to use the
same ruling as the Public Prosecutor !?

Kenneth
