"Science", in simple terms, is an effort to explain the natural world.
Note that creationist propaganda would, by this definition, be completely scientific.
This, of course, is because I've chosen an absurd definition of science, not because of lazy thinking of the part of evolutionary biologists.
- camccann 17y agoOkay, you missed my point completely, but never mind. Arguments about terms with lots of emotional content but very ambiguous meanings tend to look more like people cheering for their local sports team more than like a meaningful discussion.
- Semiapies 17y agoArguments about subjects involving real depth tend to be confusing when people misuse the terminology.
- camccann 17y agoI question the assumption that there is, in fact, any depth involved in arguments over the merits of socialism-in-general. Or most discussions of economic systems, for that matter.
