Is the scientific method the only reliable or valid way to get at truth? Or are there alternative ways to know truths with an equal degree of certainty; e.g. religion/faith, logic, conscience, etc.?
Hello:Will there be a time when scientists can hang up their lab coats, and congratulate themselves for having figured out EVERYTHING?I say yes. When I was a kid, we thought the continents were static, and the Milky Way was the only galaxy. We've come a long way since then and there's no reason why it should stop. Unless, you can convince me.excon
Think about the functions of each organ, what it allows you to do (activities, capabilities, skills etc) and say why you value one more than the other.
Question if there should be such thing as Personality Disorders, premeture type
Should there be a diagnostic criteria for Personality Disorders, premature type? You have long-term patterns of behavior and inner experiences that differs significantly from what is expected at the age of 18, but you are still a youth.So, in adulthood, but under the age of 26, you get diagnosed with personality disorders, premature type, because your brain has not finished developing until age 25, and once you turn 26 years old, then you get diagnosed with full-blown personality disorders. But, for some premature personality disorders, such as Antisocial Personality Disorder, there should be evidence of Conduct Disorder before adolescence.
Humans should be able to choose and change the biology of living things.This includes all living things, using technologies such as "heart transplants".
В связи со сложившейся ситуацией в 2020 году, когда из-за карантина все перешли на дистанционное обучение и не только. Все мы сталкивались с тем, что нам приходилось работать, учиться и заниматься многими другими делами удаленно. Сейчас, после разрешения ситуации с коронавирусом, мы вернулись к полноценной работе и тренировкам. Однако многие все же решили остаться работать удаленно. Но обучение, оно тоже должно быть дистанционным?
Are Relativity theories science or science fiction?
I have studied the claims of the theories of Relativity and the results show the theories are false. To start, time doesn't exist at all, and time it's not a dimension and neither a physical entity. Time is just a measure like weight, volume, etc.Having that time doesn't exist physically, then time can't suffer any dilation by cause of fast moving objects or because the gravity of bodies. The Relativity theories were invented in those years were science was practically in diapers, and the idea of time as "something that flows" didn't come from observation and experimentation but just from philosophy alone. It is in record that Albert Einstein didn't receive a second Nobel Prize in 1922 because the members of the Swiss Academy reviewed his theories and found out Einstein's theories weren't science but just philosophy.Another claim like light traveling "forever" in space at same speed if nothing opposes it in its way is laughable. Same it's incomprehensible the argument that light acquires its speed without acceleration, and more interesting is the nonsense that its speed is constant in vacuum. Those ideas were invented by Albert Einstein to make his theories work, but the universe doesn't work that way. It seems that Albert Einstein knew a lot about Relativity theories but he was a complete ignorant about physics.The several tests and reviews made on Relativity theories show failure after failure, however the publications made to the public show the contrary. The best way to verify the validity of Relativity theories is performing a simple test: Detecting time in its normal flowing, make an object pass by very fast and detect time dilating, and after the object has passed by, to detect time in its normal flow again.If this test can't be performed starting with detection of time, then those theories are just a waste of time, those are just pure fiction.
The definition of Theory by Merriam Webster is "a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena"Theories have been used to try to explain a lot of things. There is the Theory of Gravity (Why things fall when dropped), The Atomic Theory (The existence of atoms), The Theory of Evolution (How humans evolved), The Big Bang Theory (How the universe came into existence), etc. Can these theories be said to be uncertain, or is there too much evidence to be called uncertain? Is there a body of principles that can explain it beyond a reasonable doubt, or can it still be doubted and challenged?
Hello:Speaking
as a Jew, I don't "identify" with white people - not in my ethnicity nor my color.. Now there are plenty of Jews who're quite white.. But most of us are olive complected. I suspect
that's because Jews are not of Anglo Saxon descent but, Semitic, and Semitic people are not white.Or are they? Besides, who's business is it anyway, who I identify as?excon
Hello:American adults who say they’ve been vaccinated broken down by demographic group. Whadya think about it?All adults: 69 percentMen: 67 percentWomen: 71 percent18-34: 63 percent35-49: 58 percent50-64: 71 percent65+: 86 percentWhites: 66 percentBlacks: 76 percentLatinos: 71 percentUrban residents: 79 percentSuburban residents: 67 percentRural residents: 52 percentWhite evangelicals: 59 percentDemocrats: 88 percentIndependents: 60 percentRepublicans: 55 percentRepublicans who support Trump more than party: 46 percentRepublicans who support party more than Trump: 62 percentDemocratic Sanders-Warren voters: 88 percentDemocratic Biden voters: 87 percentBiden voters in 2020 general election: 91 percentTrump voters in 2020 general election: 50 percentWhite non-college grads: 60 percentWhite college grads: 80 percentThe
group least likely to be vaccinated is the hard-core, RINO hating,
Trump voter. Only 46% of them have been vaccinated. And across the board
Republicans are the most resistant. excon
Hello:In
my zombie movie the regular people developed a vaccine that would CURE
zombies.. Of course, the zombies don't believe it. Should we hunt them down and FORCE them to take this lifesaving vaccine??excon
A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is an animal or plant whose genes have been edited to favour certain physical characteristics, especially for consumption by humans. In this debate, I will be arguing that GMOs should not be banned.I look forward to hearing your opinions. Debate Away!
