So many non-sense to clean up, but I'll separate the droppings from the dried leaves.
WHAT IS A SCIENTIST? Here's a simple definition: A scientist in a broad sense is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. OF COURSE, SCIENTIFIC METHOD MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES REAL SCIENCE FROM PSEUDOSCIENCE.
GEOCENTRISM is not a scientific theory. What prediction was it able to make accurately? AGAIN, FOR A THEORY TO BE CALLED "SCIENTIFIC", IT HAS TO BE BASED ON THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. If we say that any theory embraced by "scientists" in the medieval period should be called a scientific theory, THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL CALL ASTROLOGY AND ALCHEMY A SCIENCE.
Remember, this was the Middle Ages. SCIENCE WAS JUST A SUB-FIELD OF THEOLOGY. The Church held all the power and money. "Scientists" in those days didn't dare bring up theories that may be deemed heretical. So, they started out with hypothesis that conform with scriptures and tried to find evidences to fit that pre-determined conclusion...THAT'S A NO-NO IN SCIENCE. YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
THAT'S WHY THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS KEY TO SCIENCE.
SCIENTIFIC THEORIES CHANGE. But it's a change that does not overthrow the previous theory. It refines it---or in the case of a unification, encapsulates it---and makes it more comprehensive and precise. But it doesn't mean that the older scientific theory was false.
METHOD, NOT TOOLS. Newton had more primitive tools than what scientists in our country have today.
THE CHURCH DID. YEP. CHECK THE VATICAN ARCHIVES ON THE INQUISITION.
I think you're responding to this statement I made...
Did I say they didn't use Math in Galileo's time? Of course, Mathematical logic is one of the method (under the umbrella of LOGIC) that the Medieval Church embraced to arrive at conclusions. And yes it's true that the Church looked down on the methods of experimentation of the Arabs. GALILEO was an odd ball in his community because he dared to be different. And that puts him on the camp of SCIENCE, and those who persecuted him on the camp of the CHURCH.The Christian church maintained that conclusions could only be reached by discussion and logic, as had been taught by Aristotle. That was the prevailing "scientific way of thinking" in medieval Europe.
AND, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!
Aw, kung ganahan ka mosugod ko ug presentar sa akong argumento para sa Evolution, ato sa ning undangon ning debate bahin sa SCIENCE-PERSECUTED-GALILEO...
Klaro man nga dili ka molihok sa imong position. Ako pod, paminaw nako nga binuang manang thesis nimo. AGREE TO DISAGREE? YOU HAVE TO TELL ME THOUGH IF YOU WANT THE LAST WORD ON THIS ISSUE. KAY KUNG DILI GANI, AW HALA SIGE KUMBATI TANG DUHA![]()
old argument and most importantly --- it doesn't make sense. you are equating the presence of my brain to the presence of GOD. i know i have a brain because i can read and reply to your post, therefore, i'm 100% sure it exist (even though i can't see it). i cannot even fathom the thought of comparing the existence of my brain to that of God's.![]()
calling your opponents argument as non-sense is normal for someone who is unable to give counter points.

As ive said I brought this out to prove that THEORY can change and approval or acceptance of certain theory by an organization does not necessarily mean that a theory is worth believing.
hahaha mamasangil lagi dayun. ikaw ray ni lihis sa dalan sa atong discussion. kay tinood bitaw nga Science persecuted Galileo unsa man diay gigamit sa simabahan as basis sa ilang pag persecute ni Galileo, magic? hahaha! you always left out science anang dapia when it is too obvious nga apil ang science sa pag persecute ni Galileo. timan.e nga naay mga scientists nga mga pari atong panahona.Originally Posted by hitch22
huh? ako nahinoon ang dili molihok hahaha, ka klaroana nga ni evae ka sa discussion sa evolution. klaro kaayo oi deny pa jd hahahaha.
dugay nakong kumbati ikaw ray ga tago tago. so asa man imong ebidens beh?million years imong ebidens? hahaha. kungmao na wa ka mo follow sa imong scientific method hahaha!
Kibaw ka nganung dili ka mutuo sa FSM? Unsaon? Be a spritual man. Ang problema kai kung willing ba ka. Mao na ang pangutana. Mangita ka pirmi og proof pero kung i-guide ka sa mga tao pdung sa path that leads to The FSM, most of your likes would decline. Kataw-anan diba?
Ang proof is out there bai. Ang problema naa sa imo pero wala tika gi blame.
