Ukraine

0 min read
Thought I would drop a note to those who are adventurous and encourage you to visit Kiev Ukraine. Truly a hidden gem of a city. The people are great and the night life has something for everyone. Personally, I would recommend the local blues bar. Also, take in a tour of Chernobyl and I would recommend the two day tour where you get to stay in the restricted zone. very cool :)

Just a quick note to wish you all well :). I have been traveling a bit and enjoying the honest diversity of the United States - not just a political punch line. I would recommend that anyone take a week at a time and leave your comfort zone - people may differ in their opinions but they are typically very nice :). Until next time have fun with what you got ;). LOL!

“I never intended to take a position but was curious about yours.”

Then you should have asked questions rather than just a poorly phrased one that lead to you marching down a path where you asserted several classic christian/creationist ploys.

 

“You follow a predictable path of bread crumbs much like a practitioner of classical physics relies on what is objective , rational and verifiable.”

What is not objective, rational and verifiable is little more than subjective belief that can be dismissed merely by saying ‘well I don’t believe you or that’. Again you are mirroring the nonsense of the christian/creationist who wants to have such subjective nonsense swallowed as if it was empirical fact even as they, and you, use technology developed using objective, verifiable evidence and rational thought.

Asserting that I am following “a predictable path” suggests that it is you who are rather narrow minded in that you wish to have me merely accept your nebulous, ill-defined and useless ideas that you will not expand on to even try to provide information. This too is a common enough christian/creationist tactic to do very little to nothing then reverse the situation blaming other for not bending to their whims.

 

“In their world if you can't replicate an outcome it is not useful.”

No it literally is not and if you think otherwise then I have a perpetual motion engine for sale at a bargain price.

You can pretend that whatever version of a ‘god’ you fancy is reality but unless you can present an objective methodology that can be replicated with the same outcome all that you literally have is an opinion which means precisely nothing. This type of ‘subjectivism’ is utter nonsense as it has exactly the same value as arguing that chocolate ice cream is the world’s greatest favor.

And what methodology would you like to propose that the world utilize to determine what is real and what is fantasy Herr Doktor Professor? A ouija board perhaps? Tarot cards maybe? Divine revelation if it’s Tuesday? We both know that you are just blowing smoke as you live in a technological world that was developed using the same methodology you are desperate to cast aside simply because it refuse to take the unsubstantiated mythology of the supernatural you wish to use.

Sorry but when you and your fellows can demonstrate objectively and verifiably that such a thing even exists rather than just pretending that it does because it pleases you than you’ll have a case to make. Until then either accept the fact that reproducibility, objectivity and verification are valid methods or go back to living in a mud hut, eating the same grain soup every day and dying of some preventable disease at around 40.

 

“I am more like the quantum physicist realizing that bread crumbs can only take him so far.”

No you are nothing like a physicist because you dare not define your terms fearing to be nailed down on any point so that when cornered you can dance around avoiding the issue, just like a creationist. If you had any real characteristic similarity to an objective scientist you’d have instantly stated how you define your terms when asked. Instead you are still dodging the issue while pretending you are even remotely similar to such a scientific person.

Furthermore whenever a christian/creationist, and yes I am stating clearly that I view you in that light due to your use of their tactics and ploys, tries to drag in the term ‘quantum’ it is a dead giveaway that they don’t have a clue as to what they are talking about and just think that using such terms will grant them veracity. In your case you are clearly trying to inflate your position i9n this comparison and as a scientist myself, geologist/paleontologist, I find this repugnant.

 

“So I just wanted to know if you had an insight I had not heard before.”

Sorry but I’m not buying this line either as what I see is a veiled theist seeking a place to preach some concocted but vague and meaningless quasi-religious line.

 

“I did enjoy the passion with which you presented your position; however, discussion past this point would require a person not be married to their own deliberative rhetoric.”

Perhaps but when all you can do is make pointless assertions, refuse to answer direct questions, avoid being clear and precise, use christian/creationist ploys and generally give every impression that you are seeking to preach in a covert manner I see no use in listening to you at all. Trying this version of a ‘victim position’ when you have not sought to explain or clarify yourself in any real manner is obtuse and asinine.

 

“I am sure you are aware of the human tendency to attack or discredit what they do not understand or agree with; whether it is about faith or science.”

This is the epitome of self-indulgence and self-righteousness on your part when you have yet to explain yourself at all even after being questions as to what you mean repeatedly. To whine like this indicates very strongly that you did not come here to ‘learn’ but to preach some obtuse theistic opinion and I have no interest in such so you are done here.

hope all is well
