is science able to uncover truth or is it just a means to fool people............cases in point

t

he laws of newton contradict einsteins relativity

the big bang theory contradicts the movement of certain celestial bodies

and no links have ever been found or observed as to confirm evolution (and dont say penicilin and bacteria is an example since NO NEW genetic information has ever been created from this process)

and the entire inductive basis behind the scientific method is riddled with holes - see philosophy of karl popper

  1. Mighty big talk from someone who is using the fruits of science, his computer, to type this ignorant rant?


  2. This is totally erroneous.

    1.  The newer laws of mechanics from Einstein include the older laws from Newton except that Einstein dealt with more corner cases, e.g., large masses and extremely high speeds.  Virtually everything that you need to construct can be done more easily using Newton's laws than Einstein's.  You can build a perfectly good automobile without having to deal with general or special relativity.

    2.  The big bang theory does not contradict the know movements of celestial bodies.

    3.  There is a vast amount of information, both paleontological as well as molecular biological, that confirms evolution.  New genetic information is being created all of the time.

    4.  You misunderstand Karl Popper.  His fundamental point is that any good scientific theory should be falsifiable.  That means that a good theory should be so explicit that one could construct experiments that could test to see if the theory is true.  If the experiment shows that the theory was wrong, the theory is defective.  However, a good theory is one that continues to survive tests that might show it to be false.

  3. Which McDonalds do you work at?

  4. It is my opinion that you are more interested in having an audience for your ranting and raving than you are about knowing more about science.

  5. science isn't a bunch of lies, its a bunch of theories.

  6. <<and the entire inductive basis behind the scientific method is riddled with holes - see philosophy of karl popper>>

    You obviously never have seen the philosophy of Karl Popper.  He never wrote anything of the kind, and it's dishonest of you to suggest he did.

    Update

    <<ktd what r u talking about he made a competing theory to it >>

    As Karl Popper didn't make a competing theory to science, you're being dishonest again.  Science isn't a theory.  It's a methodology.  Perhaps you should read Karl Popper's works on philosophy and the philosophy of scientific methodology.
