Re: Off topic rudeness.
Im telling you they are science in every sense of the word.
No you aren't. You are telling us that ID/Creationism is not tested through the scientific method. This means it is not science. It is that simple.
They are a physical observation and examination that allows very demonstratble conclusions.
What you fail to mention is that it is not a scientific examination nor a scientific conclusion.
While both of us dont agree or like the conclusions of eachothers ideologies and examinations, both are atleast tenative scientifc approaches to explanations
No, they aren't. You have spent your entire time at this forum explaining why ID/Creationism does not follow the scientific method. Every time we ask for an hypothesis and experiment you tell us that ID/Creationism doesn't need to do this. I can only conclude that ID/Creationism is not science.
The only barrier that persists in this context is the fact that most science types believe creo and Id involve the supernatural, they do not, or they dont have to
The only barrier is the one that ID/Creationists erect around laboratories that prevent them from doing research.

Re: Off topic rudeness.
frako, Im not defending creo and ID to see if they pass the present day method and explanation of what constitues science.
Which is why creationism has failed.
Thanks for playing.

Re: Off topic rudeness.
No, they are not. Logic is not based on empiricism. Science is.
taq, if you dont like the strict word Logic, then go with rational approach. logic is just a word to help define reality, its not reality. reality is the mind using a rational approach against the physical world, to solve problems and come to valid conclusions
thats what Iders do, indeed if we are on the same planet with the same abilites and limitations how could our APPROACHES be any different, terms notwithstanding
It is HOW you do the examination that defines science. You need to make a hypothesis and null hypothesis that are testable through empiricism. So please show how ID/Creationism is testable in this manner.
Sure there are different levels of science, but the approach is limited to a few factors, correct. while there are more things to learn, there is no need to keep studying the laws of gravity to see if the are real and verfiable
Show me how it is scientific. You are the one that claims it is scientific, so demonstrate it. Describe the hypothesis, null hypothesis, and the experimental design used to test them. If you can't, then I can only conclude that ID/Creationism is not science.
You can only conclude the ID is not science, because you are looking for the creator himself in the design principle, that is not required anymore than it is necessary for you to prove that the natural world is a product of itself. Your arguments and conclusions are valid tenative conclusions, as far as reality will allow
as I stated in another post, experimentation does not need to be complicated, as in the things you describe to be science. To demonstrate this point beyond any doubt, the above description of science will only allow you an explanation of that which constitues reality as we know it,or the known physical world
if i am incorrect, please provide me an example of something the SM can describe outside that which we describe as the known world. the information you discover is already there for you to discover it, the SM wont reveal its initiation source, anymore than will ID.
bring your more involved science to the table to answer the question of exisetence itself. It couldnt if it wanted to
Science is not about discovering minute detail. It is about testing hypotheses through empiricism. For someone who claims to know so much about science you seem to get the basics wrong on almost every occasion.
what you just described is nothing more than observation and examination by the human mind. You like to beef up the process with words to make it more complicated than it really is
again give me an example of something that the SM can reveal that is nothing more than what is alreadly present to discover. IOWs, your just using you brain by human deduction to explain the natural world
if i am wrong give me an example of something it has revealed using a process other than simple examination and experimentation
Now isnt this what ID does? It examines the physical world, by means of observation and experimentation of order and complexity in order, to come to the conclusion of possible design
if i did more complicated test or ten million ,ore tests they will all be the same and reveal the same thing
You have zero scientific research for ID/Creationism. That indicates that ID/Creationism is not science.
Wrong for several reasons. Your asking for the designer himself in your request for research. the research for design is in the research and observation of physical properties. Like change is the result of the research of science, order is the result of the science and research of Design
Your mixing oranges with apples.
this would be like me saying your not doing science since you have not demonstrated that the universe is a product of itself, or something else besides a designer.
Your wanting a conclusion of my research and require none for yourself and say that i am not doing science since I have not produced the designer
If detailed order and law is not sufficent research for design, then it would follow that change and natural selection are not sufficent research for the conclusion of biological evolution. siince both clearly exist, but neither are knowable
so we are both doing science or we are neither doing science.
To demonstrate this further, tell me what hypothesis i should be looking for since you request one above and beyond what we have discovered?

What are your rules for differentiating design from non-design?
Or is everything "designed?" If that is the case, you have nothing.
So tell us, what rules do you use?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Off topic rudeness.
Well the thing about science it involves experiments and lots of study and if 2 scientists would disagree on something they would devise an experiment to test witch of their conclusions is right. And the resoults of that experiment would prove witch scientist is correct. CAN YOU THINK OF AN EXPERIMENT THAT WOULD SHOW YOUR CONCLUSIONS TO BE CORRECT AND DISPROVE MY CONCLUSIONS??
Yes about things that are dicoverable and nothing more, so what. if enough "scientists" agree that order and law exist in the universe and they are using a scientific approach, is this sufficient to enough reason for them to conclude design. Ofcourse it is Would they be doing science, sure they would?
Im not saying your method is invalid, im saying your requiring conclusions of myself, you do not require for yourselves
You dont understand that your methods cannot produce anymore than anyother basic scientific approach. You will find more details but it wont be anything more than a simple observation, experimentation and examination
thats all science is at its core

Re: Off topic rudeness.

Empricism and Rationalism are different. Science uses Empiricism. Science is informed by the sensory. This is different from Rationalism which is informed by Reason and not the sensory.
thats what Iders do, indeed if we are on the same planet with the same abilites and limitations how could our APPROACHES be any different, terms notwithstanding
The approaches are different because ID/Creationism does not use the scientific method and empiricism.
Sure there are different levels of science, but the approach is limited to a few factors, correct. while there are more things to learn, there is no need to keep studying the laws of gravity to see if the are real and verfiable
I am still not seeing an ID/Creationist hypothesis, null hypothesis, and experimental test. Where is it? If it is science then you should be able to point them out.
You can only conclude the ID is not science, because you are looking for the creator himself in the design principle, that is not required anymore than it is necessary for you to prove that the natural world is a product of itself.
Still not seeing any science.
as I stated in another post, experimentation does not need to be complicated, as in the things you describe to be science.
Then it shouldn't be hard for you to describe one.
if i am incorrect, please provide me an example of something the SM can describe outside that which we describe as the known world. the information you discover is already there for you to discover it, the SM wont reveal its initiation source, anymore than will ID.
This makes zero sense. Please, use your head.
what you just described is nothing more than observation and examination by the human mind.
False. It is examination through empiricism which necessitates a world outside of the mind.
As an example, without citing a single finding from an experiment can you use logic to describe what matter is made out of? Using pure reason, show how it is done.
Now isnt this what ID does? It examines the physical world, by means of observation and experimentation of order and complexity in order, to come to the conclusion of possible design
That is not science. You test HYPOTHESES in science, as well as the NULL HYPOTHESIS. Please describe the hypothesis, null hypothesis, and experimental design that would test both equally per ID/Creationism. If you can not, then you have proven that ID/Creationism is not science.
Your asking for the designer himself in your request for research.
Nope, I am asking for scientific research that backs the conclusion of design. Where is it?

How did you test the null hypothesis, that order and law are not the product of design?

Re: Off topic rudeness.
What you fail to mention is that it is not a scientific examination nor a scientific conclusion.
What process of the human makeup do you use to carry out this process
No, they aren't. You have spent your entire time at this forum explaining why ID/Creationism does not follow the scientific method. Every time we ask for an hypothesis and experiment you tell us that ID/Creationism doesn't need to do this. I can only conclude that ID/Creationism is not science.
Im sorry where have I spent any effort explaining that ID does not follow the SM. More accurately I have stated that any examination of the human mind is science, that "scientists" have confused what science is to exclude ID on religious reasons and they have implied this both directly and indirectly
When i give you an experiment and a hypothesis you say it is not science because it does not meet your criteria, which is ofcourse is an inflated view of science and not an accurate explanation of science
Should an accurte veiw of science and what constitues evidence ever be explained to those making law decisions, maybe the outcome would be different
At any rate dont misrepresent me presently

Taq writes:
Then you need to publish it and present it to the scientific community.
What do you think this form is of sorts, chopped liver?
Actually, yes, within this context this forum is indeed "chopped liver". Though it is far above your snake-oil "public debate" travesties.
It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer * that this forum is not a medium for publishing within the scientific community, so why are you so oblivious to that simple fact? This forum isn't even a forum for the scientific community, even though several of its members are also members of the scientific community. It is more of a coffee house or student union discussion.
There is a very definite mechanism for publishing within the scientific community, one with which several members here are quite familiar, and about which you are totally ignorant -- or at least that is what you keep indicating to us. Nor are we expecting you personally to try to publish within the scientific community, but rather that is for your ID big guns to do. Which they avoid doing. Just as the "creation scientists" have always avoided doing and undoubtedly for the same reason: because the scientific community would immediately see right through their lies and their bullshit. Which is why both ID and "creation science" (which nowadays are relying more on ID, since their own cover has been blown) bypass the scientific community and concentrate all their bullshit on the general public, in order to deceive the public and sway public opinion. "Creation science" and ID have both been taking that approach from the very beginning. Neither is the least bit scientific.
For ID to ever be considered scientific, your "big guns" need to do actual scientific research and then to publish within the scientific community. But it turns out that your "big guns" can fired nothing other than saluting charges, AKA "blanks." As one former creationist, Scott Rauch, wrote:
quote:
I still hold some anger because I believe the evangelical Christian community did not properly prepare me for the creation/evolution debate. They gave me a gun loaded with blanks, and sent me out. I was creamed.
{ *FOOTNOTE: An engineering catch-phrase. }
the tenets and merits and the legetimacy of creationism, if that is what you wish to call it, have existed long before any so called scientific community. The fact that a few are so ingnorant that they cannot see the method, model and conclusion of creationism's approach, is nothing short of silly
Still dishing out the same old bullshit, Dawn? Just as you were three months ago just before you cut and ran from the topic, Intelligent Design vs. Real Science? After we conclusively showed you that you have nothing? Revisit those messages:
Message 55 -- You claimed to have a "model" and dared me to show that it wasn't a model, nor the same as what science does.
Message 64 -- I did exactly that, though Coyote had already done it in Message 61 along with providing the definition of model, which I also used. I also had to describe to you the basics of how a model is constructed and used, which is completely alien to your "model". I also pointed out where you admitted that your "model" is based on the supernatural:
DWise1 writes:
But there's another very serious problem for your "model". In your other "reply" (Message 55), you made it clear yet again that your "Designer" is your god, which is supernatural. So your "model" is based on the supernatural. That's what you want to have included in science, the supernatural. Tell me, Dawn, just how the hell are we supposed to form supernaturalistic hypotheses? And just how the hell are we supposed to test them?
You want to be taken seriously? You already know that you need to provide a methodology for detecting and determining design. Well, you also need to provide a methodology for testing supernaturalistic hypotheses.
The bottom line as we understand it is that testing supernaturalistic hypotheses is impossible. Forcing science to use supernaturalistic hypotheses will cripple and even kill it. Or worse, change it into theology. Which would make it completely useless.
In Message 65 I addressed your repeated lies about logic and taught you about what you actually are practicing, sophistry, the abuse of logic in order to deceive your audience. Only your own attempts at sophistry are so crude you have to resort to repeatedly calling them "logical". I then show you why you need to present and support your premises, which you have repeatedly refused to do:
DWise1 writes:
One form of sophism is to use a valid logical construct, but getting the victim to agree to false premises which will then enable the sophist to arrive at the desired false conclusion. In classic examples such conclusions include that day is night or that black is white. Absolutely false conclusions "proven logically".
We have been trying to get you to support the premises of your "logic", which you have absolutely refused to do. The clear mark of a sophist.
For ID to be considered science, it must do the research and publish for the review of scientists. We've been over this with you countless times. Dishonest "public debates" and PR campaigns are not the way. They cannot be voted in as science. There is no royal road. They have to do the real work. Which, of course, they refuse to do and will certainly never do.
For your ID claim to actually be logical, you will need to present the development of that logic, coherently and cogently (IOW, in non-gibberish). Including the premises, which you must present and support fully and defend honestly in discussion. All those things that you refuse to do and will certainly never do.
You know full well what it will take. If ID has any truth to it, then honest exposition and discussion will bring that out. Of course, if ID has no truth to it, then that will also be brought out, which gives you and other IDists strong motivation to misbehave in just the manner in which you have been misbehaving consistently.
In Message 69 you condescendingly bullshat:
Atleast dewise (finally) and Coyote made an attempt at responding to the argument and to which I will be responding as soon as possible
Which, three months later, you have yet to do.

Re: Off topic rudeness.
Empricism and Rationalism are different. Science uses Empiricism. Science is informed by the sensory. This is different from Rationalism which is informed by Reason and not the sensory.
I really dont mean to be rude, but sometimes science minds are simplest of all. I was laughing really hard when i read that.
taq these are just terms they are not reality. reality is you and I using our minds against the world itself by a process of examination and experimentation to give possible explanations to that process. E and R are intertwined in reality and in the process, you cant have one without the other when examining the world
now i can have a thought with no application to the world itself and that would more accuratley describe rationalism
The approaches are different because ID/Creationism does not use the scientific method and empiricism.
How in the world and reality could they be if we are both using our minds and physical properties. taq, lets say both of us were going to work on a car but you had a more extensive knowledge of the can than I, my total expertise was limted to tires and tire changing
Our method of examination wouldnt be any different, we would use the same process, but how much more would our examination need to be for both of us to know it had four tires. Would we keep examining it to see if that simple truth were true. while your same self method of exam moved forward to more extensive problems, mine would end with the knowledge that that truth was true, regaurdless of whether I knew who made the car
when both of us do that it is called science
As an example, without citing a single finding from an experiment can you use logic to describe what matter is made out of? Using pure reason, show how it is done.
Since that is not my position, your query makes no sense. Please refer to what I said above
How did you test the null hypothesis, that order and law are not the product of design?
how did you test the null hypo that evolution was not the product of a designer? So if we cant test the null hypo of evo not being the product of a designer is evo invalid as a scientific truth?
Come on guys give something hard>

Re: Off topic rudeness.
Yes about things that are dicoverable and nothing more, so what. if enough "scientists" agree that order and law exist in the universe and they are using a scientific approach, is this sufficient to enough reason for them to conclude design. Ofcourse it is Would they be doing science, sure they would?

You dont understand that your methods cannot produce anymore than anyother basic scientific approach. You will find more details but it wont be anything more than a simple observation, experimentation and examination
thats all science is at its core
AND SCIENCE WORKS, YOUR ID AND CREATIONISM DOES NOT WE HAD YOUR APPROACH TO DETERMINING REALITY IT LASTED ALMOST 1000 YEARS WE CALL THOSE TIMES THE DARK AGES. SCIENECE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ONLY 300 YEARS AND LOOK AT WHERE IT GOT US SO STOP DISHING SCIENCE AND STOP DEGRADING IT TO YOUR SIMPLE WIVES OF THE WORLD.
ID AND CREATIONISM ARE NOT SCIENCE THEREFORE DO NOT BELONG IN A CLASSROOM AND ARE NOT A VIABLE MEANS OF UNDERSTANDING REALITY!!!!!!

Re: I Feel Your Pain
Its just that willfully ignorant people drive me up the wall, especially arrogant ones, that keep insisting that something is science when it is clearly not, because by doing that they are belittling actual science the work that goes in to it, the progress it has brought us completely ignoring where humanity was before science.
I would have no problem with ID if it actually presented any tangible evidence, i would have no problem with it if it substantiated its claims by experimentation. But what it is actually doing is saying well we want you to teach the stork theory along with the birth theory because it is fair and the stork theory is science and the birth theory has faults in it and there is plenty of evidence for stork theory just look at all the storks making their nests up on chimneys.
We know where that kind of thinking got us you have a tooth ache well let me put a hot poker in your ear sure your ear hurts like hell and you might die of infection but my cure works you no longer feel the tooth pain it is science. And yes this "cure" and many others similar where used in the past because they did not need to apply the scientific method to make up their "science".
And we know that when such silly ideas come on to the forum of our understanding they lead down a very steep hill to the dark ages. we have 2 historical roads that lead down that path. Europe when Christianity took over the abundance of scientific knowledge that was built up by the roman empire was lost, things like its good to take a bath every day, pluming, even a form of steam engine was invented. And the Muslims during the dark ages they where beacon of scientific understanding of the world look at where those countries are now. The creationists and ID ists want to take us down that road again willfully or un-willfully just as long as their precious beliefs in some imaginary being can stay safe.
