------------------------------
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. -- Mark Twain.
Since the arrival of the Internet I reckon it would be still trying to find a clean pair of jocks.
------------------------------
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives infusion from the will and affections; whence proceed sciences which may be called "sciences as one would." For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.
Francis Bacon, Novum Organum (1620)
------------------------------
Therefore, the seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.
Alhazen (965-1040)
------------------------------
If your conclusions contradict common sense, then so much for common sense; if they conflict with received philosophical opinion, then too bad for received opinion; but if they deny the very facts of our experience, then you must consign your conclusions to the flames.
Richard Feynman paraphrased by Baggini & Fosl in "The Philosophers Toolkit".

I would recommend an article by Rothbard entitled In Defense of "Extreme Apriorism". I don't completely agree with his position, but he makes some interesting points.

@2cabs2toucan Hey, that's cool 2cabs. Maybe you clicked on my "reply" button so I got the email saying you commented on mine. I think we're agreeing here though after reading you other comment. I think I found the original video from the blog "Pharyngula" by PZ Myers

I have to admit that in high school I didnt really care to much for science but as I got older and begane to think for myself I discovered science is a graet too to use to learn about the world around us and I belive that is why god gave us science so that we can discover and learn how everthing works .not as a tool to use to try and disprove His existance. If what Charles Darwin said was true then things like the fossel record should be obsearvable and the evodence found everywhere all over the world. but that is just not the case. I guess my point is that if the foundation of evolution is that everything came from absolutly NOTHING (which by the very definition of science ) is imposable how can I be exspected to belive the rest? anyway I will watch the video that you suggested on your last post the first free moment I I promise and will try to get back to you asap. thanks again.have a great day

Now the science books in the public schools teach that in the bebining there was NOTHING then (NOTHING exslpoaded ) and everything exsisted. and that is a scientific imposablity and actually spits in the face of real science. I think science is great but there is somehow this belife that science and evolution go hand in hand when in reality they contridict each other on so many levels. You and i both have a faith. My faith lies in what the bible says that God created everything which seems much more reasonable and possable then the faith it takes to belive that everything came from nothing.

Hey 2cabs thanks for the response. the idea that absolutely nothing exsisted, and then exsisted, then created every observable thing we see. the very foundation of that is a scientific imposabilty. and that is what evolution is built on. now I dont claim to be any form of a great scientist by ny means but by scientific reasoning I am able to see this to be true.....thanks again and have a nice day =)
