re: #576 Salamantis

Yeah; who needs precise scientific terminology? Like them damn laws of motion Newton goes on about? Why anyone can see that apples fall; why try to say it in all these high-falutin’ terms? Hilarious, I tell ya!

Well, it does get pretty funny when some bloviating defender of the faith tries to tell you that book is a very baggage laden term, and that subjective experience is reducible to neurobiology, and then can’t keep chloroplast and blastocyst straight. A mere typo, fer shure.

And what’s this nonsense about the earth revolving around the sun? Anyone with half an eye can see the sun moving across the sky! And as for those pesky epicycles, if they were good enough for grampaw, they’re good enough for me!

Yeah, that’s what galileo did. He said “Gee, I think the earth revoves around the sun, so I’ll make up a whole new terminology, because it just seems to me to be so! I don’t have to demonstrate the validity. I’ll just SAY so!

And that crazy-haired dude Einstein doesn’t make enough sense to cram into the southbound end of a northbound mule! Who can read alla that mathematical gobbeldygook, anyway? No me, for shure! I don’t think it really means a damn thing!

Its right about now that the comparison starts to get hallucinatory. Dawkins and Einstein? LOL!

And as for Darwin and Mendel and Watson and Crick, why you have to have special machines just to LOOK at those genome thingies! They can’t be alla that important if they’re so small! It’s alla these pointy-headed scientists and philosophers’ I tell ya! No common sense at all!

Yeah, because memetics has these decades of patient experimentation behind it to demonstrate its definitions and validity. LOL! “Memes are a good idea, because I think they are!”

No my preacher, well, he’s one smart man; he tells me exactly what my folks told me when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and of course they would know…and its all written down in the only book worth reading!
Excuse me while I make this guy squeal like a pig…

Hey, you are the one who can’t keep a blastocyst and a chloroplast straight. You want uncritical, ignorant scripture spouting, you’ve been doing it. Dawkins and Einstein! LOL!
