    posts.. its really weird you act this way..

    i found it unnecessary to even point out the

    "imaginativeness" of your responses..

    to clarify that point, here they are:

    1.) Comparing archaeology to physics, and even called

    physics a hard-science? gee, whereever did you get that

    term? I have physicists friends and they don't even use

    that "hard-science" term, let alone belittle archaeology in

    the face of physics..

    2.) Comparing archaeology to economics, and also called

    economics a soft-science? i dislike resorting to

    name-droppings, but never had I colleagues in economics who

    had this attitude about it.. i really fail the need to

    explain this no matter what the circumstances.. so read up

    your literature, get into it, and stop making such

    superficial comments on fields of study you don't even know

    a rat's ass about..

    3.) To sum up archaeology in that little anecdote? Ingon

    ana na lng jud diay imong tan-aw sa mga archeologists? 500

    puzzle pieces and 50 pieces ra and they would resort to

    story-telling? I'd like you to say that to real

    archaelogists and see how they would respond..

    sheeesh, to think that I am still explaining this one.. get

    down your high horse dude.. you're missing a lot of reality

    because of that ivory-tower position you are in..

    and about your eloquence and intellectual acuity of words,

    not a lot of people can or are willing to do that.. i've

    seen that you are.. i've known other people like you

    before, and its such a waste that a mind like that gets

    stuck there.

    and about that "i know the latest trends banner"? haaay..

    sorry if you got that impression dude, but please dont

    liken me to you.. i know the latest trends, and i do my

    research before yapping my mouth off..

    let me get this straight, i have no quarrel with you or

    whoever in this thread.. i despise debates like these

    because it shifts the focus on actual development of ideas

    to satirical insinuations and insults.

    i'm not trying to win an argument, i'm just discussing at

    first, and then you came around lambasting people with your

    wonderful statements which "trivializes" the others reply.

    any person reading this thread could realize that if they

    read the development of this thread.

    bout the comprehending posts comment: i think your the only

    person i told that to a few times.


    about the archaeologists thing? I'm sorry, its not my

    original idea. Our professor who happens to be one, taught

    us how Narratives are created from History and archaeology.

    So i dont have to tell that infront of an archaelogist,

    suffice to say that one told us that such is so. And i

    think any archaeologists and historians would agree with

    that, although the former uses a scientific framework,

    most of the "gaps", which are alot, is filled in with historical

    interpretation - historicism- in both studies.


    hard-sciences, soft-sciences? thats a discussion by the

    scientific community along time ago. most economists feels

    bad whenever they are called the soft-sciences but this

    name-calling in the scientific community did not came out

    from my own imagination. you could google that, but if you

    have no time ill cite you a statement from the late prof.

    Gian Carlo Rota co-authored by Jeffrey thomas Crants intro.

    to the philo of science, ed. stanley rosen uk: randomhouse,

    2006.
    they write:
    --------------------------------
    "There is hope for the Soft Sciences"
    In days gone by, economics used to be label the "dismal

    Science" More recently, it has ceded this dubious

    distinction to more outstanding fellow travelers:

    psychology, sociology, linguistics, and other "sciences" of

    later vintage. Haughty physicists used to dismiss these

    undertakings as the "slums of science," but such a rude

    exclusion is now believed to be unfair. Economics,

    psychology, sociology and linguistics are abuzz with

    activity and with results of lasting value."
    ----------------------------------

    with this, youd realiza that prof. rota mentioned this out

    from the background of academic discussion. So i did not

    made it up, unlike you said. ergo, your more speculative

    than i am. i once had a classmate who happens to be an

    economics professor, last sem., and he shared how some physicists tend to
    look considered economics as such.


    apparently, you do your research before you yap your mouth

    as you said, but youve never made any reference to any

    study, corroborating your claim. now did you? NOTTTT.

    citation entry from a journal)


    about archaelogy:

    ====================================

    for the sake of someone who thinks i'm imaginning things.
    Get yourself check on these matters.
    unlike you, i have the decency to say things that are

    actually there and not make them up. For short, im not

    dishonest, if i do not know, i say i do not know. if im

    uncertain i'd say its my opinion, if i quote, i cite.



    the shifting of insinuations was started by you. remember

    your last few replies ? statements such as "gitika ko"

    "imagining things" et al. are these not insinuations?
    as ive said when i say something definite i can corroborate it.




    to end: and getting my point back in this thread so we wont be so lost with all the convolutions you lit up, i argue that, evolution is not empirically observable, and it does not mean that creationism is an alternative.




    cheers!


    p.s i'm not a creative literature major, though many friends are, im not good with imaginning things, i fint creative writing very difficult in my part.

    Brod, saludo kaau ko nnu stack knowledge wa koy ma say. I guess evolution is winning on this thread....

    YouTube - (Kent Hovind) Creation Seminar 1 - Age of the Earth Part 1 <------ this is a serious challenge to all of you evolutionist... (sak2 b ako term)

    FYI: these are series of Scientific Evidence conflicting evolution that harmonize Creation. Its Science and Logic at its best to defend Evolution but in this case. Creationism is winning.

    Well you watch it then you find flaws. I am a pro evolution bro I was thinking Yes there is creation but there is evolution afterwards... I tried to investigate and found some flaws but not enough.

    If you think you can handle another interpretation aside from evolution you watch it yourself. It is worth rather than blogging here with just a few evidence.

    It maybe more like entertainment but woa its also appealing as dan brown... You just judge it then...

    Creationism a lot of proof here. GO get it.

    Evolution do your best.

    I am so interested on this topic. No insult please...

    Atm i'm on no one's side, but I guess you are wrong.

    Along the rigors of science and facts, evolution undoubtedly stands the measure of verity of conclusion. Creationist science miserably fails because no matter how much it feigns to have passed the rigors of scientific measure, the very foundation for which it stands (bible) is weak and unscientific to begin with.

    You are using the standards of science to measure the credibility of the source of Creationism. Sounds unfair.

    Maybe "Creationist" should not be dubbed as science in the first place, cause it is based on something(weak and unscientific) not related to science.

    How else do you measure evolution then? Would sacred scripture like the Bible be enough to measure the claims of evolution or enough to disprove the same?

    Unfortunately, that is how they would like to believe of what they stand for. The Institute of Creationist Research (the science of biblical creationism) strongly believes that the sixth-day creation is scientific.

    I was referring to creationism's source called "unscientific" it was exactly unscientific in the first place.
    In other ways not used by it's opposing idea, because science is not a standard for the bible and science itself.

    Unfortunately, that is how they would like to believe of what they stand for. The Institute of Creationist Research (the scientific of biblical creationism) strongly believes that the sixth-day creation is scientific.
    Urgh.
    Can we drop bombs at them sir brown? Mental bombs I mean.
