well it worked out well for mrs giggs !! a friend works at the salon where she has her hair done !

she went in the other day minus a wedding ring and plus sheds loads of shopping !!:D

Having read the recent exchanges can your position be summarised as follows?: – scientific discoveries and conclusions by their very nature are fallible, therefore it is pointless to accept any of them.

very correct !! to accept they are correct and no further research was necesary by its very nature would be the end for science

science is only probability and theories till further research proves otherwise

in most things it can be taken as 99.9% correct

but in a lot of cases it is theory till further research proves otherwise

it is possible to work out how heavy the Earth and the Sun are.

That’s how we know how much fuel the Sun has left.

!

it’s very ironic you use that argument , as it was recently discovered the original calculation to determine earths weight ….waaaass

wait for it !!!!

wrong

and it had to be re calculated

I.M.H.O. when man is capable of true Space Travel, and reaches the many other galaxies, we may find out, and seperate truth from fiction, “THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE”, we, just have to find it.

the fact is we will never know we still don’t know what is in our deapest oceans or in rain forrests

only last week a species of rat turned up that was believed extinct for over 100yrs

and we like to pretend we know everything about space !!

No, it can’t! Just because science can be wrong it doesn’t make it 50/50 whether it is right! :rolleyes:

And, on balance, I’d rather listen to science (fallible though it is) than anything else.

funny !! a while back it was 100% that science was right now you admit it is fallible !!

so with that quote of your own it leaves you in the same camp as me !!

so what percentage of wrong to right do you want 60/40?? 70/30??

so given that you only want to accept one answer sureley points that you are non scientific !!

as you only wish to know one option and not explore further options !!

You have scientists repairing your car?:rolleyes:

nope but just the same it is an estimate and open to change !!

What????

Do you have a credible source for that?

would N.A.S.A do for you ???
