How do you know the earth wasn't created a few thousand years ago, along with sea shells on mountain tops? |

Some of those guesses can have a high confidence and other a low confidence. It is NEVER the case that because we cannot know for certain then we cannot know at all. Because we can NEVER know for certain. Creationism a few thousand years ago lacks evidence, there is evidence that the Earth is older than a few thousand years. So practically speaking we know. Of course this could all be the Matrix and you can play "Twilight Zone" with any topic. |

tmiddles wrote:olyz wrote: This is actually a theory, not a hypothesis. Hypothesis stem from existing theories. They act a bit like a 'use case' for a theory and often take the form of a question about that theory. Science uses the null hypothesis of a theory, which asks the question, "How can I show this theory to be wrong?". tmiddles wrote: A theory is an explanatory argument. All theories begin as circular arguments, even scientific ones. If a theory is falsifiable, it is a theory of science. That is the definition of a theory of science. A theory of science will remain a theory until it is falsified. Theories that are not falsifiable can never be falsified. They remain a theory forever. tmiddles wrote: You are describing the circular nature of theories here. tmiddles wrote: The Theory of Creation simply states that life appeared on Earth as the result of the act of some kind of intelligence. Time is not specified. The intelligence does not even have to be a god. We could all be the result of a horrible lab accident and they decided to dump it on Earth to get rid of it, for all we know. This theory is not falsifiable. It is not science. The only way to test it is to go back in time to see what actually happened. For this reason, science has NO theories about past unobserved events. The Theory of Abiogenesis states the life originated on Earth through a series of random unspecified events. This theory is also not falsifiable. It is not a theory of science. It IS mutually exclusive with the Theory of Creation though. One of them MUST be False. They might BOTH be False! Putting time constrains on when a past unobserved event is rather pointless. The only way to check is to go back in time to see what actually happened. tmiddles wrote: No, we don't know. Supporting evidence only means something to religions. Science doesn't use it. I said before that all religions are based on some initial circular argument, with other arguments extending from them. This is philosophically a very good definition of 'religion', since religions do not require a god or any deity. By this definition then, there are two religions here: The Church of Abiogenesis and the Church of Creation.

Into the Night wrote:Supporting evidence only means something to religions. Science doesn't use it. Observations and experiments are conducted in science. The more of them the more the confidence with which a hypothesis can be assumed to be true. I think a gambler has a loaded die that always comes up 6. I roll it once, well maybe I got lucky. I roll that die 100 times and it comes up 6 every time the hypothesis that it's loaded is now much more reliable than it was. Science and statistics as tools that benefit greatly from experiments and observations ("evidence"). Into the Night wrote:religions are based on some initial circular argument, Good point. Not all of religion though. Much of what's called insanity is based on circular reasoning. If your concept cannot be disproven it can be anything. Edited on 08-08-2019 07:11 |

Literally mountains of it mean nothing in the face of a single piece of conflicting evidence. tmiddles wrote: WRONG. You have denied probability mathematics. A die (even a loaded die) is a randR number. If you suspect a gambler has a loaded die, measure the die for balance. That's what the casinos do. I used to deal blackjack, paigow, craps, poker, and a host of other games in the casino. I am still lead dealer with 30 years of experience at a business party casino company. I have personally seen dice on a crap table go for three hours without making either the point or rolling the seven-out. They are my personal dice. They are not loaded or weighted in any way, and they are not 'shapes' (irregularly shaped dice). They came straight from a casino supply company and I have checked them for balance, and for face accuracy with a micrometer. All 25 casino dice I own are straight and true. They are legal to be put into play by any casino. Did you know the Las Vegas Gaming Commission can walk up to any crap table at any time and demand to check the dice? They have plainclothes officers too. They look just like any other tourist, and they play the games to check the accuracy of the dealer. Dice, Roulette, Pai Gow, and slot machines all use randR numbers. That means the numbers can repeat any number of times in a row, or not at all, or anything in between. There is no memory to the random number. The previous roll, spin, or Pai Gow hand means NOTHING to the next roll, spin, or Pai Gow hand. Zero. Nada. Nan. NOTHING. A random of type randN has a memory. This is the type of random number from poker or blackjack. Once pulled, the card cannot be pulled again. That remains true until a reset event (such as a shuffle). tmiddles wrote: Science ONLY uses conflicting evidence.

tmiddles wrote:The Biblical theory says 15000 years. What the "biblical theory" states differs from Christian to Christian because there is no such theory in the Bible, only in the minds of Christians. Decades ago I used to debate fundamentalist Christians on Creationism and no two of them believed the same age of the earth. tmiddles wrote: What if you can't weight the die? Are you clueless?

You both are arguing different things and talking past each other. You are correct that any rational human who observes a particular six-sided die come up "six" many consecutive times will probably suspect the die and perhaps will call the handy Nevada Gaming Commission guy to spot check it. Into the Night is absolutely correct that a fair, balanced six-sided die can come up "six" any number of consecutive times. tmiddles wrote:Define religion. Oh, pick me! Pick me! Religion (noun) : a dogma that is assumed without rational/science support (although such a basis may nonetheless be claimed) and is believed per the guidance of someone who is accepted as an authority (one's self may be that authority).

IBdaMann wrote: After 14000 rolls it won't matter (maximum). The dice are changed at each 8 hour shift, and that will let you roll them about 14000 times on a typical craps table pace (about once every 2 seconds or slower). The casino can test their own dice. They know they put fair dice into the game. Each die is registered before going into play (see the little numbers on them?) The last thing a casino wants to do is put funky dice into the game and risk their license to print money casino license. If a casino is losing money on a table, they will switch out the dice, cards, or whatever, early. On the craps table, the Boxman checks this activity as part of his job. He also never takes his eyes off the dice once they are delivered to a player until they are brought back in by the croupier. If funky dice are found, the security tapes are reviewed to see where they came from. They can go back as far as a year in detail. If the player is still on the floor they will be arrested by casino security, taken back to the back room to have the courtesies of casino gambling explained to him 'their' way, then call the cops to pick up what's left. The player will then have to undergo a felony trial. It's nicer than it used to be with the Mob. They just took you out and put your body in a shallow grave and let the coyotes lunch on what they dug up. The penalty for putting funky dice into a game of craps, or having equipment to make them, or forging casino chips or having the equipment for it, is life in the Nevada State prison system. The nearest one for that is 200 miles out in the middle of the desert. If you escape, it's you and your orange jumpsuit in the middle of the desert...good luck. Oh, you might get away with it a few times, but all it takes is getting caught once. There are cameras on every table, throughout the slots, at each cashier's window, and in the parking lots. There are often angled mirrors in casinos too, allowing security to observe a game from a distance. They also use one-way glass and catwalks overhead the pit in some casinos. They have plainclothes that look like tourists. They enter through their own door so no dealer, cashier, or player knows who they are. They are watching players AND dealers.

I believe we are just made up of molecules and that's all there is. So what are your Politics? I'm not political. I don't even believe the government should be involved in our lives at all really. Those claiming to not have it often have the most developed and specific version. The most popular religion in the world can you guess? Knowitalism Ask a question and they can nail it. Probably the most satisfying religion since ancient grandpas explained that the sun moved across the sky on the back of a Turtle.
