      To be scientifically literate is to empower yourself to know when someone else is full of shit.

      Indeed. As has been said: If an argument lasts more than five minutes then both sides are wrong.

          Are there not many reasonable debates where it takes well over five minutes to completely explain a point? Surely not EVERY debate..

          ..that extends beyond five minutes is so irrational.

          There is a difference between debate and argumentation.

          afaik, in typical debate the goal is to convince an audience, while in an argument the audience is the one opposing your point of view.

          in the end the goal is the same - get a point across as best as possible.

          The argument of religion vs science has been going on for centuries, are you implying both sides are wrong?

          NO SILLY! NEIL *KNOWS* RELIGION LOST THAT ARGUMENT A LONG TIME AGO. FOR SCIENTISTS LIKE NEIL THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BUT SCIENCE.

          WHY WOULD NEIL WANNA SOUND PHILOSOPHICAL WHEN HE KEEPS REITERATING THAT SCIENCE IS HIS GOD? ANYWAY, SOUNDING PHILOSOPHICAL IS NOT BEING IT

          What are the chances that there are anything existing outside this universe? 🙂

          I think it is less likely that there is nothing else besides our universe and more likely that there is a multiverse or infiniverse

          Especially the other side. It's the most wrong side, always.

          Actually - an argument between Neils Bohr & Albert Einstein lasted for decades. It turned out one side was right, and it wasn't Einstein.
