: Unless one of the original propositions survives the entire discourse, I guess. But how often does that happen? Please note that continuing to hold a belief proven wrong by greater evidence (believing in the flatness of the world, for example) doesn't count as "survival." Wrong beliefs of that sort are only mortally wounded and waiting to die.Well, when did I suggest the world was flat? I only pointed out that when all the physicists are finished, belief is all that will account for the origins of this large cosmic occurrance. We exist and science will only go so far to say why that is. When scientists disparage belief (not all of them do, you know), I think they are really disparaging those who don't dig as deeply as they do in order to explain things. That would be appropriate if they didn't exercise some measure of belief themselves. As it is, a bit of arrogance and hypocracy is at hand.
: Besides, saying that all argument in this forum boils down to opinion makes any decision we reach in here invalid, doesn't it? What would even be the point, then, in correcting me and continuing this thread?
