No but we believed it to be so. So the facts that we hold to be true today may not be facts at all. And those things that we believe to be fallacies may actually be facts.
Umm. Did I suggest that it did? We have believed things to be true which have subsequently been proved wrong. So fact can turn out to not be a fact at all. The atom was so named because it was thought to be indivisible. So the status of a fact, true or false, may change over time.
Well that's subjective.You can only accept fact that you yourself know to be a fact. If someone else is telling you that it is a fact then that requires faith to accept that. My point is that, in differing degrees, everyone has take another human beings word for it.
Well we are veering off point here. I have an understanding of maths up to a certain level. Things I don't understand are explained to me by people who understand it better than I do. I take it on faith that their assumptions are correct. I wouldn't know if they weren't. So I choose to accept their assumptions.
Yes but you can make many things sound plausible. The fact is the internet works. Its easy to explain how something works when we built it. Not so easy with theories especially theories about things we cant fully explain.
The only difference being you need google to do it. Its a little rich to talk of obsession when you joined this thread for the simple aim of attacking one particular poster, and even said as such. You started with the psychoanalysis. You don't like it when someone responds in kind. So you are now crying about down arrows when you were dispensing down arrows to Davillin with positive alacrity. You are a bit special. If I'm an obsessive nutcase(your words), and I am behaving like you, then you are an obsessive nutcase . Its good when you can embrace that.
How many of the people who stand behind the scientific theories we uphold as fact can actually do the maths required? Or do we have an entire community taking it on FAITH that these guys are right? Now that would be funny.
These people clearly were not on Rivals if they thing asking questions is trolling. There has been an elevation in trollike behaviour in the last few pages, which merely serves to illustrate what trolling looks like compared to inquisitive questioning.
Whats saddest about this thread is that science is about keeping an open mind. Its a poor scientist that only accepts results that support his original hypothesis.
They scored 3 goals in extra time after Maylett got sent off. Battered we were not. Leon got a standing ovation off the Bristol fans when he was subbed.
