Jesus. Why, you believe in spirits? By the way since you claimed I was a troll, why are you constantly responding??

So drlove, are you going to tell us if you've been vaccinated?

What we actually have is falsely called knowledge. A misuse of the English language and a lie using word games. I had a small bet with myself as to how long it would take you before a logical dismantling of your premise resulted in you retreating into the usual excuse of "you're telling lies", without any evidence to support it. You just got the record - well done. You carry on enjoying all the benefits that science has brought to your life, whilst pretending that your bronze age sadistic bearded chap provided everything to you. As for me, I'm off to do some good in the world. Cheerio.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Yeah, for the very first time you have come up with something approaching a valid point.
But, WOW!
Jesus. Why, you believe in spirits? Such an incredible demonstration of not understanding English. Ну, вы русскы? Is that what it is? You're a fucking Russian troll? Well fuck you and the troika you rode in on! You are nothing whatsoever but a fucking troll who has nothing whatsoever to contribute to any kind of discussion. Fuck off and slither back under your slimy rock.

I suppose he would insist that the surgical staff remove all their masks before surgery, oh and absolutely no fucking hand washing!

This thread suddenly became very active a few days ago, so I scanned through the last few days of posts to see what was going on. I see drlove joined the thread on the 4th. Welcome.
Drlove's posts are widely varied. Many do seem purposefully trollish, others seem like sincere efforts at discussion, and many lie somewhere between. Many of his posts are very brief, and in those instances it is disappointing to see EvC treated like a texting app. And I wish the information-to-noise ratio of this thread weren't taking such a hit. I feel like there would be a lot of value to exploring two things in this thread:
I've seen some excellent stabs at answering these questions, and my sense is that drlove has given them short shrift. I think it would be worthwhile if people were willing to try again, and I'll try to pitch in by noting where I think good information is being ignored.

Why would we do that? Is this thread about discussing medical procedures we may have done?

Not sure why they let you get away with such demon talk here. Sad

Not sure why you try to drag all of science into it? The issue was how that the scientific method is not applicable for some aspects of what is called science today.
I think I cited a few examples. Of course this natural world has certain realities/laws/forces that work and that are used in the scientific method in a very many cases. Don't try to paint this as it is either total blind faith in all of what is called science, or we are science deniers!

If you'd like to know why, it's because you appear to be irrationally anti-science and one way to demonstrate that I'm wrong would be to disclose your position on vaccinations.Je suis Charlie.

So those who chose to believe the tens of thousands of experts on one side are irrational? It seems to me that those who think all people must accept their beliefs are the irrational ones.
