    Think about it. There are only a few things about space that are proven fact. The fact that Galaxies exist, that things revolve around other things and there are planets and stars.

    Other things like Novas, Super novas, White Dwarves and Black holes. We pass them off as fact but they are based on what we can only really observe and observation from a distance can only explain so much. Not to mention what we see is only a ghosting image of what was once there or so we are told.

    Religious nut job or somebody who is actually intelligent to question what we are told?

    What is the point of living if you don't question things?

    There nothing wrong with asking questions but how much of astrophysics,atmospheric,planetary,mathematics and cosmology do you actually know.

    Also there is something called the peer review process,you should look it up.

    The thing with GoH isn't that he's an asshole. He just thinks his opinion automatically = correct.

    And it usually is :nod:

    On most things anyway.

    Enough to figure about 90% of it is theoretical bullshit. I'm surprised more people don't question science on a purely scientific level. I think we think we know more than we actually know.

    Basically I'll put it this way, if you can't recreate it in a laboratory setting, it's something we should question.

    I see you took the easy way out,next time when you argue you actually need to backup your claims with evidence.

    "my ignorance is as important as your knowledge" sums up the current times.

    Closing the thread. Take it to the unmoderated thread please.
