What the fuck is 'it helps you sleep better at night' supposed to mean? Do you find coming off as a condescending prick helps you (to sleep... )?

The following text was written by the (sadly underrated) comedian Marc Maron. Copy/pasted from his myspace blog. You might find it helpful. The Religion of Conspiracy: A Partial Transcript of a Performance I may be a little late on this but someone recently sent me a link to...

Biedny's uninterrupted question begins at 54:33 with a book suggestion. It's very clear what his question was.

Derek Bartholomaus Derek was stating the standard ID/Creationists stance, not his own opinion. They say in more or less outright terms that God is the creator of life on Earth, specifically the God of the Bible. Unfortunatley, Biedny wrongly framed the question in supposing that...

Sure, I don't see why you couldn't say it would be the ultimate test for science, but even if it were realisable, Monday mornings will still be horrible... It was proposed by Laplace as a thought experiment, a way of thinking about and possibly understanding the universe based on his...

Don't you know who he is?

I honestly don't see what difference it makes whatever my position is since my questions have been perfectly clear. You didn't have to answer them if you didn't want to... My views? Well, not a kick in the balls that far from your own as it happens, probably closer to Mike's, and I don't like...

Tricky, Tricky, Tricky. I'm not disputing your statement "... my rejection of the possibility that science may not be able to explain everything" since I never said you did (and please lay off the /b, it comes out condescending), but I do get the clear and distinct feeling that you're swerving...

I got that, but it's a pretty weak argument. If you're resorting to inventing hypothetical phenomenen that defy scrutiny by the SM to bolster UFO accounts, then that's pretty much just inventing shit up in an attempt to strengthen your own position. That's why I asked for precision.

Still don't have the answer, Tricky Dicky. Could you give me the redacted version?

So why bring it up?

Alright. Just to make sure then, when you said "What if there are phenomena that is able to consciously 'resist' scientific study?", you can't provide or imagine any examples of this either?

I never claimed you could either, but you did seem to suggest it.

Can you give an example of a phenomena with a physical reality that cannot be adequately studied by the scientific method?

What exactly are you talking about?

I'm reffering to logical processes. Truthful thinking equates to correct reasoning, untruthful thinking equates to incorrect reasoning. jritzmann, darling, so concise.
