Conversing about Science? I like it when speedy things goes in, speedy thing comes out

Err, what?


Also damn, I'm pretty sunburned

inb4 cancer

Sunburn, ouch. I hate sunburn. Has it been as hot where you live as here?



@PkmnYellow; trifling on the small stuff, are we now? :P

[TheMissingno.]

@Mijzelffan; Well we can't really have a discussion when you're constantly contradicting yourself, can we?

[H-con]

Pretty warm, yes. However, I don't notice it's there unless I look myself in the mirror.

That, and I'd rather enjoy the sun than only sit inside while reading, especially if I can read outside.

It's been over 20 degrees. Pretty nice temperature, both in the shade and in the sun.

Not a grammatical error, but close enough.

25 degrees here. Not a nice temperature, and I swear I die a little of heat everytime I walk outside.

Rofl, you're special pleading, more like.

Also arguing one thing then arguing the complete opposite. I don't know what fallacy that is. They might not even have a name for it because it's so fucking absurd.

[H-con]

Well, I don't generally prefer higher than 30 degrees in the shade. Right now, it's pretty good. And just getting this is a somewhat minor miracle, with the crappy spring weather we've had this year.

But, personal preferences vary. I should buy some sunblock though

U mad bro?

See it like this, crappy spring might mean a better summer. The last couple of years the springs here were very hot, only for the summers to stay relatively cold. Rainy even.

Also you don't have sunblock at home by standard? It's pretty useful, should it become like 30 degrees in one day.

Why should I be? I'm not the one who's wrong.

Yes you are, for reasons specified before. Right now you're just trifling on the small stuff because you can't think of any good counter-arguments. It's ok, a lot of people on the internet do that ;)

First you said you had to replace the "experiment" part of the scientific method. Then when I said that that is the most important part, you revised your position and said that you do experiment. How is that a small thing? It's the most important thing in science.

I said replace the expirimentation. You said I couldn't. So then I sat down and thought for a moment. Then I realised, you could also see historical research as experimitation in a way. So then that's what I explained to you. I don't see the problem with that.

[TheMissingno.]

Okay, well the problem is that historical research is not experimentation.

[Mijzelffan]

I'd like some confirmation on that from someone with a PhD.

[H-con]

We would have at home, but with the weather we've been having, I haven't bothered buying it.

[TheMissingno.]

@Mijzelffan; Okay, how about Neil DeGrasse Tyson? According to him, eyewitness accounts are the lowest form of data collecting and are not taken seriously in the scientific community. This is why there are millions of UFO sightings per year, and yet UFO related science is not taken seriously. Historical documents are eyewitness accounts. Therefore, historical research material cannot be taken as experimental data.

This is just one of many reasons.
