I know these word well enough, fast boy. But you wrote
"untestable=unacceptable". Should I read it as
"untestable=unacceptable unless I accept it as an axiom"?

Is it an axiom or you tested it somehow, my dear

There are a lot of brain applications.
Our hardware is almost the same, as chimpansee's.
It's software, that makes the difference.

You've heard similiar things trying to discuss

Wrong again, slow boy. Untestable *hypotheses* are unacceptable
as beses for gnostic developmemt.

|Wrong again, slow boy. Untestable *hypotheses* are unacceptable
|as beses for gnostic developmemt.

I understand. So, what fast boys don't accept are "hypoteses",
and what they do are "axioms". Quite simple.
But, could be even simpler, if you say simply: I believe
this, and don't believe that. Well, I believe, your way
can make more impression on fast boys of all sort.


Anyway, no matter, how you puff, science remains a
brain application, and is similiar to religion.
And your reactions are typical for both.

So this means everything is "similiar to religion". Is this what you base
your "criticism" of physics on?

No, poor idiot, it is not what I base my criticism of physics on.
Now, what is your answer to "what is science" question?
Let me guess... "UUUU!!! IT'S NOT A QUESTION!!!

Thank you for yelling at me for not knowing what's inside your head.
Now, to the point: you said "science remains a brain application".
I'm reasonably certain most readers here would like to know what you
mean by that. Literally as written it has no content since one can
equally easy state that all intellectual activity is a "brain application"
(you never said what it meant, you should get in the habit of defining
monumental concepts like this one), hence the conclusion is that
"all intellectual ability is similar to religion". This may be true
but it's then too broad to lead to any conclusions pertaining to
specific subdomains of intellectual activity, like physics.

IOW we are back to what I and everyone else has been telling you
practically since day one: what you know about models in general
is too broad to be of any consequence in science. You need a MUCH
sharper tool.

Whatever that means, I leave it to your doctor to deal with.

Seems to me Jan is leaning over backwards to meet you half way. That kind of honesty and open mindedness deserves a second look at Jans words.

Yes, science is a brain application; moreover, an interpretation.  What is your interpretation?  My interpretation is separated between things that travel vs. optical measures which are devoid of things that travel.

With our unaided eyesight (which is in reality very loaded) we observe the stars in the sky.  We see these objects as in a single picture- a single picture brain application.  All of these objects do not change position in the sky(absolute). Somehow, with the advent of the speed of light c, we have invented a way to observe single pictures.

The thought that in an unaided eye picture would lead to a knowledge where all lighted objects have a unique emission point based on the universal measure of the speed of light is most ridiculous and most complicated.

Too simple as, like your other arguments so far, it is flawed.  Here, it is 
*your* claim of *non-existence* that would need to be substantiated *by 
you*.  And that is difficult to do, to say the least.

Because there is the possibility, and I think belief does not need to enter 
into it, that beings exist that we would consider gods, or god-like if you 
will, because we do not have the knowledge or perception to understand their 
technology (this is a common trope in science-fiction).  In particular, 
humans need not be the most biologically and technologically advanced 
species in the universe; only human hubris assumes that, and this hubris is 
apparent from your syllogisms.  Now, that does not mean that those beings 
have to exist.  But if they exist, there is no way for us to know for sure 
which one of those assertions is true until either we have evolved enough or 
we have encountered them and it has been explained to us.

Therefore, failing hard evidence of sufficient evolution and such 
encounters, we must question the idea whether it is worthwhile to take those 
hypothetical beings into account in the first place.  (And certainly, 
quoting Gene Roddenberry, “We must question the story logic of having an 
all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames 
them for his own mistakes.”)  That does not mean, however, that we should 
stop appreciating the wonders of the universe, searching for answers to our 
questions, and for new questions.

See also: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot>

But *please* keep those purely philosophical discussions out of 
sci.physics.ALL and sci.physics.*relativity* in particular.  It is wrong of 
you to claim that all science is philosophy, and that therefore they would 
be on-topic here: The natural sciences, like physics, separated themselves 
from mere philosophy more than three centuries ago, with mathematics 
(«Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica», Isaac Newton, 1687).  F'up2 
<news:alt.sci.philosophy>; modify if you know a better newsgroup.

As for “begs the question” vs. “raises the question”: I knew the “begging 
the question” fallacy already, but thanks for correcting my vocabulary 
there.

You are such a crackpot, you cannot even take a “thank you” for what it is, 
and reply with something along the lines ”you are welcome”.

But, JFTR, I have found out today that you are wrong about this as well.

While ”begging the question” is the name of a logical fallacy, it also is a 
phrase that means to “raise a point that has not been dealt with”, which is 
precisely how I used it.  I have found that out while doing research on 
Geoffrey Marcy:

<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/13/science/finder-of-new-worlds.html?_r=1>

Play the video on the top, and you will hear “begging the question” used in 
the same way as I did.

This usage is confirmed by dictionaries:

<http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/beg?q=begging+the+question#beg__15>

If there is any shred of decency left in you, your reply to this posting 
will be along the lines of “Sorry, I stand corrected”.

I do, when it's appropriate.

I know all that, Pointy Head. The fact that semilterate retards
misuse a word or phrase does not require those of us who actually
understand the language to accept their misuses as legitimate.

The simple fact is, Pointy Head, we don't need to misuse the term
"begs the question" because we have the simple, straightforward
and crystal clear term "raises the question".

But then, there is that dreadful tendency among retards to show
off what they think is their erudition.

Wrong again.  “The Present Perfect is […] also used when an activity
has an effect on the present moment.”

[Proper English would be “I do not lie” or “I don’t lie”.  So much for your 
understanding of the English language.]

IOW, you denied that my use of the expression would be a correct one.
(That was a “false dilemma” fallacy of yours, denying the possibility that 
there could be several interpretations.)

And then you replied to my posting in 
<news:slrnn2ndt8.pd7.nedlatham@woden.valhalla.oz>:

IOW, you *knew* that you were wrong at the time when you were claiming this.  
Claiming something that one knows is wrong constitutes a lie.

You lied again when you said that you “don’t do lies” because in the very 
same paragraph you effectively said that you knew you were wrong.

And you lied again when you said that I had lied.  Because I could not have 
lied about the same subject that you knew were wrong about while claiming I 
was wrong.

So *evidentially*, you *do* lie.  Again and again.  It has been established 
by now, at the latest, that you are a habitual liar.

Also, you continue to crosspost without Followup-To despite Followup-To 
being set to the appropriate newsgroup, and you continue to throw insults.

By that we have established that there really is not a shred of decency left 
in you, because decent people do not lie habitually, and they at least try 
to observe technical and social standards, which includes that they do not 
throw insults habitually.

So Q.E.D.  And *PLONK* (F'up2 set appropriately, which I assume you will 
ignore again).

Get it into your pointy little head, Pointy Head: the fact that

those of us who actually understand the language to accept their
misuses as legitimate.

So "begs the question" has  been arounnd for a while. BFD.
Doesn't change the fact that your misuse of it is faddish,
and confined to semiarticulate muttonheads who think that
pompous verbosity is impressive.

"Proper"? Don't be ridiculous. The statement can be made in perfectly
good English is many ways; one, for example is, "I don't tell lies".

You *do* recognise that as "proper" English, right?

Note the form, dipshit. You can replace "tell" with any other
suitable verb; "use", for example, or "rely on", or "accept" ...

Or "do".

> So much for your understanding of the English language.]

Correct. It's a  misuse. The fact that others have perpetrated the same
idiocy before you doesn't change that. Even the fact that it's become
so well known that people usually know what the utterer means by it
doesn't change that.

The fact is that "begs the question" and "raises the question" both
have clear, precise and distinct definitions. Using the former as a
synonym of the latter is a misuse.

> (That was a "false dilemma" fallacy of yours, denying the possibility

Wrong again, Pointy Head. It was part of a criticism of your misuse
of the term.

(Your "interpretation" is not only about the misuse of the term, it
is about that deplorable tendency of the semiarticulate to show off,
as I said before, what they think is their erudition.)

True. You should stop lying.

For example, you should not have concealed that what I wrote was
"I know all that, Pointy Head. The fact that semilterate retards
misuse a word or phrase does not require those of us who actually
understand the language to accept their misuses as legitimate."

(The reason for your surreptitious snip above is now clear.)

And that's yet another lie. What I "effectively" said is that
I know about the misuses that you were trying to justify your
own misuse with.

Looks like the OED does not budge: :-)

" 6. To take for granted without warrant; esp. in to beg the question: to take for granted the matter in dispute, to assume without proof.

1581   W. Charke in A. Nowell et al. True Rep. Disput. E. Campion (1584) iv. sig. F f iij,   I say this is still to begge the question.
1680   Bp. G. Burnet Some Passages Life Rochester (1692) 82   This was to assert or beg the thing in Question.
1687   E. Settle Refl. Dryden's Plays 13   Here hee's at his old way of Begging the meaning.
1788   T. Reid Aristotle's Logic v. §3. 118   Begging the question is when the thing to be proved is assumed in the premises.
1852   H. Rogers Eclipse of Faith (ed. 2) 251   Many say it is begging the point in dispute.
1870   F. C. Bowen Logic ix. 294   The vulgar equivalent for petitio principii is begging the question."
