Is EVERYTHING knowable?
Will there be a time when scientists can hang up their lab coats, and congratulate themselves for having figured out EVERYTHING?

No, what I've learned over the years is that with each new, break-through discovery a host of new mysteries are laid bare. We're asked to believe that the latest announcements of scientific, quantum-leaps are the termini of all knowledge within a particular field. Then at some later point we are informed that the last declaration of knowledge was only scratching the surface of a seemingly immeasurable number of unsolvable mysteries. No one, not even Einstein, or any body of scientists can offer a definitive explanation of how we got here, what the hell we're doing here and where we're all headed. Side: No

If we knew everything, that would INCLUDE the stuff we don't NOW know.. Facts come in two varieties, those KNOWN and those not known.. What was a fact 1,000 years ago, will BE a fact 1,000 years from today. And, there's no reason to think we won't figure them all out excon Side: Yes
You missed out on a proper education old bean so you try to compensate for your ignorance by peddling your bullshit nonsense as fact. A lot of what we were told were facts not so long ago has since been disproven, and in many cases by the very individuals who originally claimed the results of their flawed research to be facts. Now Einstein, try to understand that if yesterday's facts have been proven to be BULLSHIT it is perfectly reasonable to expect to be informed at some point in the near or distant future that today's so called facts are no more than avant-garde theories. Your short term memory must be as bad as THE IMBECILES as you stated that when you were younger you were taught that the Milky Way Galaxy was the full extent of the universe. As it happens, so was I. Now we're told that there are more Galaxies in the Cosmos than there are grains of sand in all the world's oceans. Now, old bean, that is just about as wrong as you can get. But, if you had an inquiring mind you'd be asking, is that statement a fact? Scratch '' today's fact'' and you're likely to see tomorrow's contradiction.' Wise up old bean, and try not to be an idiot all your life, you've been one long enough. Side: No

"What was a fact 1,000 years ago, will BE a fact 1,000 years from today. And, there's no reason to think we won't figure them all out" We wont figure them all out simply because Man hasnt the capacity to use his knowledge wisely. The more he has become knowledgeable, the more he has used that knowledge for petty purposes or carelessly. Yet, a civilization that doesnt use its knowledge wisely is doomed to collapse. Because Man is busy thinking he could know and test everything without wisdom, he will soon be overtaken with some of his creation such as artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence and its foreseeable consequences are, for example, serious reasons to think that mankind wont live the 1000 years to figure out all facts. And if he did/does, how boring will Life be. ps: how do you make those fonts bold? :) Side: No
