You always sully up my topics with your debbie downers, so I'm hear to see why you think out of the entire universe which is bigger than pretty much anyone can comprehend.. You somehow think there is no other intelligent life out there.

Oh and by the way, is it no intelligent life or just straight up no other life? Why is it you seem so sure of that fact? Is it because you haven't been given a alien butt probe or is it because of Jesus and stuff?

and I very much understand the definition of the word.

proof
pro͞of/Submit
noun
1.
evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement.
"you will be asked to give proof of your identity"
synonyms: evidence, verification, corroboration, authentication, confirmation, certification, documentation, validation, attestation, substantiation

now you go right ahead and let me know how you think I misused the term.

anyone who understands the concept of science understands that it is fundamentally trial & error, mostly error. which means keeping an open mind is important.

So, I am open. Fill me in on how I misused the term.

Thanks in advance!

dyna mo · 02-09-2015, 05:55 PM

Should be extremely simple for you to explain, since it's a word an 8 year old understands.

Looking forward!

You seriously need someone to explain this to you or are you just bored?

Ok I'll play.

Here is an example of your logic with proof........

Proof that bears don't exist!

that example actually proves I used the term right. You may have a problem with the logic, that's why you mistakenly used that example, and I couldn't give 1 single shit about that, but [re]read that definition and realize how wrong you are.

funny thing is people like you will flip your very same accusation when it comes to Evolution. Evolution is fact because why? It certainly has not been proven.

But what you are really revealing is your complete lack of understanding science at even the most basic level.

proof
pro͞of/Submit
noun
1.
evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement.

OK.

But let's be clear, I'm playing with you, not the other way around.

would you be torqued up if I used the term "evidence" instead of proof?

Because it is a synonym. Let me know if you also do not know what synonym means.

here's a blurb for you

"Proof" is something that the opponents of science are always clamouring for, yet is not actually something that science suggests it will give - specifically in the common sense definition of "proof" that suggests that a claim has been proven 100%.

With some theories its very difficult to not think of them as proven (Newton's laws of motion, for instance) which have always and will always describe objects within the limits of those theories. Science as a method, however, deals not in proof but in evidence, and perhaps disproof when the evidence contradicts a hypothesis.

Dyna Mo just PM'ed me and said he can't believe that you were able to prove bears don't exist. He no longer knows what to call the fury things. He tried to call them dogs, but I told him they were aliens.

I can see how you could conclude that. But I will quickly explain to both of you why the example is invalid and makes no sense.

We know bears exist.

you 2 keep working together though, you might come up with something eventually.

You're prolly also confused re: what proof means in a legal setting, you know, with reasonable doubt and all. but I'll save that for another time, I'll give you a heads-up so you don't drown yourself so fast next time.

Just something to add here. The fundamentals, or basics, of science are observation, replication and prediction, then you are taken to the applied sciences ( engineering outcomes ) where you use basic science data, the fundamentals, to create interventions that alter events or outcomes.

The Universe is 10 billion light years in diameter. Taking the Fermi Paradox into account, even though there statistically is abundant intelligent life out there, the probability of encountering it is astronomically low. Either you have faith in science, or religion, and both clearly indicate alien life exists.

Science is inductive, not deductive.

Quote:

There are different schools of thought in philosophy of science. The most popular position is empiricism,[26] which holds that knowledge is created by a process involving observation and that scientific theories are the result of generalizations from such observations.[27] Empiricism generally encompasses inductivism, a position that tries to explain the way general theories can be justified by the finite number of observations humans can make and the hence finite amount of empirical evidence available to confirm scientific theories. This is necessary because the number of predictions those theories make is infinite, which means that they cannot be known from the finite amount of evidence using deductive logic only. Many versions of empiricism exist, with the predominant ones being bayesianism[28] and the hypothetico-deductive method.[29]:p236

Empiricism has stood in contrast to rationalism, the position originally associated with Descartes, which holds that knowledge is created by the human intellect, not by observation.:p20 Critical rationalism is a contrasting 20th-century approach to science, first defined by Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper.

Popper rejected the way that empiricism describes the connection between theory and observation. He claimed that theories are not generated by observation, but that observation is made in the light of theories and that the only way a theory can be affected by observation is when it comes in conflict with it.

Popper further claimed that there is actually only one universal method, not specific to science: the negative method of criticism, trial and error.

I.E., science is very much trial and error.

no, very little is clear about the Universe. making assumptions and trying to pass them off as "clearly" obvious is dangerous in discovery.

So what are you stating here? That I am being religious instead of scientific because I can embrace the other side of the probability problem in the OP?

Let's be clear on something.

What difference does it make to come down on the side of we probably are alone instead of probably are not?

I mean really. WHat difference does it make? Let's say we are not alone and that's discovered. How does embracing the probability from the other side change anything?

IN fact, I think being open to all possibilities allows for more opportunity to learning and discovering, not being less open and assuming probabilities are clear.

crockett · 02-09-2015, 07:15 PM

In an alternative Star Wars universe.. The millennium falcon crashed landed on earth and Chewbacca survived to became Bigfoot. Indiana Jones later found both the Falcon & Chewbacca.

This is proof that aliens exist.. Because Harrison Ford is real, therefore bigfoot and Chewbacca must also be real. I also just had some ice cream and I'm pretty sure 12clicks will agree that ice cream leads to scientific breakthroughs..

I think my proof that aliens exist is just as convincing as Dyna Mo's proof they don't..

edit...

Chewbacca is not a bear..

First you say science is inductive not deductive. You're high.

"Inductive reasoning is used to try to discover a new piece of information; deductive reasoning is used to try to prove it."

Then you asked 6 questions that are all over the place. If I took the time to genuinely answer all of them, you'd disagree and ask 6 more. I got you. You know I'm smarter then that. You just don't want me in this conversation because you know I'm right, and that's fine. I don't have the time anyway I'm shooting out of town in the morning, 4 shoots total tomorrow. Have fun in la la land

just like my OP(where we don't know the answer), there is little agreement on what role deduction plays in science. I happen to agree with many that induction is primary.

you got me? on what. I never asked you 6 questions.

I gotta say, this is really weird shit to me. You got me? this is a gotcha thread because I happen to choose the other side of an unproveable mystery? really? You do realize there is absolutely zero consequence for you if I think we are alone right? really. there isn't.

and no, you are not right. That's not the same as stating you are wrong (like what you are feeling the need to do). That's why the search (and science) continues. If you were right then there would be evidence of it, not a complete lack of evidence. and that is fine.

enjoy your shoots.

p.s. it's "smarter than that", not "smarter then that".
