In another thread - a debate with faith over the use of the word "proof" (Faith feels that science is something that proves things) led to the following remark:
quote:
I'm using ordinary everyday language which is quite understandable and a lot clearer
So - this is very simple, when we have a discussion of the sciences
between people who already have a basic knowledge of the area - is it better to use everyday langauge because it's a "lot clearer" than the specific terminology that we current do*?
Faith suggests that if people get stuck that
quote:
You can figure out what I'm saying if you are willing to, could ask for clarification if you don't.
Are we a bit too strict asking people to use fact, law, theory as they are used in the sciences? What's wrong with us all just defining the terms ourselves?
