@Dan_Ramos Brilliant!

@Dan_Ramos How much is a pizza where you live?

I think here in northern europe, my regular one is about 19 USD or so.

But the scientific facts remain, there is no god, demons, or supernatural, since no one has ever presented empirical proof of it.

Freud taught us that religion is a mental illness, or something similar to the appendix, psychologically speaking, so it

I do understand your yearning for god and meaning in life, and that requires, for some people, the belief in ghosts and spirits, and from a pragmatic point of view, this is ok. it gives you please, a feeling of superiority over "scientists" and a deep convition that there is "something else".

@Charles_in_Charge @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

Incorrect. Fire, electricity, thunder, lightning, some forms of mental illness, there's millions of phenomena that are repeatable, that have been explained through repeatable experiments and so on.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

the science side won the arguments, since the spiritualists, could not present any evidence.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

This is incorrect, and this is dependent on the question under discussion. The question was if demons exist, and what evidence should support that. The conclusion is that they do not exist, and that no empirical evidence in the scientific tradition has been presented, and thereby

Ahhh... that explains it! You have never studied philosophy of science, and probably never worked as a scientist. It is very common for engineering types to believe that they are better scientists than scientists while having no idea about academic science, how it is done or its underlying assumptions.

@James_Dixon @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

Thank you for admitting I won the argument. This takes strength of character!

@James_Dixon @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

I use the standard of evidence that the scientific method, the worlds most successful method of explaining the world, has defined.

Clearly you still seem to have difficulties understanding that questions about nature is not a court process. It is not. It is a scientific question, and therefore it demands scientific evidence.

@James_Dixon @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

Science is not based on eye witness accounts, it is based on falsifiable hypotheses, and repeatable and verifiable experiments. There is a reason that a scientist just "seeing" something is not counted as empirical evidence. Countless scientists have seen things which were mistakes or they misinterpreted the evidence.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

I think perhaps it has run its course.

@James_Dixon @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn

You are wrong. We are not talking a legal process, we are talking scientific evidence.

You must learn the difference between evidence in a legal court, and the evidence that science requires.

Before you know this, you cannot understand the arguments I make.

Excellent! You made Jesus happy today! ;)

@PawelK @slashdot Battery technology that does not destroy the environment. Massive amounts of electricity (in europe). Charging stations at a similar density to gasoline stations, nuclear power plants in europe. And all this at a price on par with a gasoline driven car.

Give me this, and we're in business! 😎 🇮🇱 ✝️
