Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    Why are you still allowed to post here?

      He did not indicate in any way that he remembers it. By his silence he implies that he does not remember it.

      [ But currently, he lied by implying Jorge is scientificly competent to me.
      LOL wut? What does "scientificly [sic] competent to me" mean?

      I didn't imply anything of the kind. I explicitly stated:

      That's not an implication. My conclusion from observing your and Jorge's posts is that Jorge, who is abysmally ignorant of science, is much much more knowledgeable of science than you with your randomly chosen irrelevant phrases and obvious lack of any knowledge of any subject mentioned in this thread.

      The definitions of lie are:
      • a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood. Synonyms: prevarication, falsification. Antonyms: truth.
      • something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.
      • an inaccurate or false statement; a falsehood.
      • the charge or accusation of telling a lie: He flung the lie back at his accusers.


      To establish my claim as a lie requires that you demonstrate that it is false (good luck with that!) and that I knew it was false (which it wasn't and isn't) when I posted it.

      That's yet another unsupported accusation of lying that I've reported.

        Omniskeptical is obviously trolling hard for attention. Why feed him?

          That's enough. Leave the thread and you are being modded.

          Someone's opinion of your incompetency is not a lie. It is his opinion.

          Strongly inflammatory characterizations, such as allegations of outright intentional lying, criminal conduct, or severe moral turpitude must be backed up as to the truth of the matter at the time of the assertion. Such posts may be edited in full until such substantiation is provided. We consider a lie to be a poster knowingly and willfully making a statement they know to be untrue. In order to substantiate a lie, it must be shown that the poster in question is stating something they know to be untrue. Facts that are in dispute should never be referred to as lies. All efforts to substantiate an accusation of lying should take place in the same post as the accusation or a separate thread may be started in the Psychotherapy Room outlining the accusation and providing substantiation.

          All subsequent discussion of the accusation must take place in the Psychotherapy Room. Please note that one person's faith position may inform their opinion of the acts or faiths of another - in stating positions of faith, allegations of lying are not appropriate.

            I've stopped feeding his "scientific" silliness, but I will continue to respond to personal attacks.

              Up to you. That's what he's angling for, though.

                  That can't be a lie, since it's true. Jorge may be a Sphyrapicus varius, but at least he knows that cosmic rays come from the cosmos.

                      But Jorge doesn't even know what Calculus is.

                        Can you support that claim?

                          • Howabout recommending a good textbook of nuclear science, JonF?

                            Comment


                            • I come at it mostly from the geology/dating perspective. Dalrymple's the Age of the Earth is good but basic. Radiogenic Isotope Geology is more technical, but you'll have to buy the book if you want the equations and some of the figures shown properly. Modern Nuclear Chemistry is pretty seriously technical. Beyond that you are looking at heavy-duty stuff such as Introduction to Applied Nuclear Physics or other stuff at Nuclear Science and Engineering.

                              ETA Some classic works on the constancy of fundamental constants are The fundamental constants and their variation: observational status and theoretical motivations and Variation of fundamental constants: theory and observations. On gteh constancy of decay rates see Perturbation of Nuclear Decay Rates.
