Re: Universal Principles

Sanity from Jon? Has the world stopped spinning?

If you admit that this is a sane argument, then what reason is there for your continued debating against my position in this thread other than your severe misunderstanding of my arguments?

Perhaps if you find yourself in agreement with this statement, then it is time to set aside the nitpicking and call it a day.

Re: Nope... That's not the Point Either

Can you explain how your latest stance regarding the inevitable role of inductive reasoning in science is compatible with this:

I have already addressed this, Straggler. Please go back and reread my response. You can find it in Message 557.

Re: Nope... That's not the Point Either

So you cannot reconcile your original position with your latest one then. Didn't think so.

There is no reconciliation necessary. If you believe there is, then point out where you feel there to be disagreement and I will attempt to clear it up.
