Close-minded scientists
    #11582616 - 12/04/09 08:42 AM (14 years, 3 months ago)



Every single convenience and appliance that you use to make your life easier from cars to cell phones has come about from some scientist/engineer pushing the envelop of what was formerly thought possible.

Seems the only idiots who call scientists close-minded are those who have had their pet theory/claim rebuked/rejected. Some would even have you believe that the millions of scientist worldwide have some regular secret meeting wherein they best decide how to make paranormalists and others crackpots look foolish.

Nope, no help needed.

Well they have a right to an opinion.:shrug: Like imo all religious folk are at least slightly delusional and often dangerous. Opinions are allowed in this forum. It's the Mystery where you aren't allowed.

Theere is nothing mysterious about being afraid of counterpoint. That just shows that even the true believers do not truly believe else there is no reason to stifle.

I don't see what that question has to do with the OP?

And your personal assessment of the OPs intent is biased imo.

believers of what? and whatever that may be, it's implied that you do not share that belief, that you are on the side of the always counterpoint consistently.

If you had a neutral opinion of the OP then you would have never commented on this imo? I mean lets face it there are numerous threads like this made by numerous posters here.

Then how would you know that this is how he operates? As I said there are tons of threads that use this debate technique.

No I don't think that's a neutral post.:nono:

You did not address the topic at all, choosing instead to get personal. Why is that?
