Re: Better living through magical thinking
That's not quite true. Theoretical physics deals with calculating natural phenomena. You can fit a calculation in theoretical physics to real measured data, and then extrapolate from there to make statements on behaviour you haven't experienced so far - and it works surprisingly often.psi29a wrote:'Theoretical Physics' is akin to Philosophy, until it becomes 'Experimental Physics' which can be tested.
Contrastingly, there's no data to fit theology to.#

The 'math' may work, but it still unverified. Thankfully a lot of Experimental Physics (Natural Philosophy) becomes Experimental Physics. Theology on the other hand holds unto a single axiom that cannot be verified.
I'm holding out for the LHC to go online, which has a non-zero chance of destroying the world. yay! Supposidly there are tests that verify the data-sets presented by m-theory (SuperString) are correct. This doesn't prove it true, but only that it isn't false. Obviously if the data collected is not verifable, that means something is quite wrong...
Science == Falsifiability
Which is something theology is not. Theology assumes it is right, then tries to find facts to support it.

I am LOLing at the Fail, too. He brings it on himself, sadly. I can't help thinking it is a good thing I read "internet" fluently.

Re: Better living through magical thinking
I would attempt corrections, but I fear I would be busy with it for far too long and I do have plans for my life.

Re: Better living through magical thinking
Thats what I hate about n00bs like mr.nomer. They havent been active long enough to know that I give a fuck about spelling. This isnt a school paper. Its the interweb.
Mr. Nomer: I'm glad to know your so proud that you got me on spelling. Bravo.
