You didn't ask her.

You don't know what this subthread is about, do you?

Do you know the difference between "having something to say," and
"having to say something?"

Right.  When 'everybody' says something exists and nobody can provide the evidence that it does exist one can reasonably conclude that it is a group delusion.  IOW, one can reasonably conclude that the thing they all believe does exist is just one of the many things that people generally want to believe.  For example, many people want to believe that the moisture in clear moist air is gaseous H2O.  In reality it is impossible.  Laboratory evidence indicates that gaseous H2O can only exist at temperatures above the boiling point of H2O, which is much hotter than is available in the ambient atmosphere. 

Belief in "cold steam" is a group delusion.  It isn't an empirically determined notion.  All meteorologists maintain this belief because without it their models of storm theory are revealed as the genuine nonsense they really are. 

Science involves facts--not group delusions.

You admit here you claimed the existence of evidence for the starting
location when searching for keys.

That was the context you snipped.

Somehow he seems to be equating finding one's keys, which actually 
exist, to finding his god????? Which, of course, has never been shown to 
exist.

Or is he even crazier than that?

and this business of 'the search for life on other planets', wats that all about ? Based on faith, not
evidence. There is no evidence that life exist on other planets! So why search for it??? There is no evidence
that life exist on other planets, but the search continues? Based on what?? 

If you are going to go by their evidence...then, their evidence say, 'life *could not* possibly exist on other planets'.


It's IMPOSSIBLE. Based on their own evidence! But the seach for life on other planets...continue.


Those 'science guys' certaintly have a lot of FAITH.


It's all they have...

The need for evidence.

They know life is impossible on many planets but that it may be
possible on some others.

Where did I mention any god?

You seem to have an allergic reaction to the word "faith."

Well, I won't accuse you of being faithful to consistency and
rationality in arguments.

There is no character flaw behind declaring opponents to be crazy, is
there?

What the fuck are you talking about? You start the search where you 
remember being with the keys, then you move on to places you don't; 
remember but make sense, then on to crazy places.

I really don't have a clue what evidence has to do with finding my keys 
(which I never lose because they go right on the doorknob when I walk in 
the door) or what you're trying to prove.

What evidence is necessary to find one's keys? What the fuck are you

What evidence is necessary to find one's keys? What faith is necessary 
to find one's keys? You make absolutely no sense.

You still haven't explained why evidence is necessary to find one's own 
keys.

I'd like to know what the fuck you're doing and what you think you're

If that isn't taking action based on **faith** in your fallible memory
of where you might have left your keys, then what is it?


>I really don't have a clue what evidence has to do with finding my keys 
>(which I never lose because they go right on the doorknob when I walk in

Then why did you claim there was evidence here?

Now you say evidence has nothing to do with it.

How many more sides of your mouth will you be speaking from?

Again, **you** said there was evidence. Go argue that point with
yourself.

I claim **faith** in one's fallible memory informs the selection of a
place to start looking for one's keys.

Are you **so** allergic to the existence of **faith** that you want to
take issue with that?

Why would you **start** looking in one place rather than another if
you didn't have **faith** that it was a very likely place to find
them.

Maybe I should rephrase that: Why would a rational person **start**
...

... because you seem to be spun up in some frenzy over the notion of
**faith**.

I think your behaviour is doing the "proving."

This seem to set you off:
