    "There's a simple, unambiguous test anyone can apply to objectively determine whether a theory is scientific. That is: is the theory falsifiable? Does the theory make predictions that could potentially be proven wrong by evidence? Intelligent Design fails this test."

    Perhaps you need to pay a bit closer attention to what the word "theory" implies. A theory is not "proven" it is a guess based on other evidence. That however does not make it unfalsifiable.

    Theory:

    1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
    2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
    3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
    4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
    5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.
    6. contemplation or speculation.
    7. guess or conjecture.

  3. Re:What communist countries? None have ever existe on Democracy Player Is Dead, Long Live Miro · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    For the good of the world? Sorry but I do not work my butt off for you or anyone else. Hell I generally really dislike most people in the world, I sure as hell will not help support them because I am better than them at something. Communism and other ideas like it are fantasies. They sound real good and look very nice on paper, but they will NOT work in the real world. As you said the places that have even attempted it couldn't even get to full communism, how the hell do you expect people to make it work once they get there if no one can even get there? The whole notion is so fundamentally flawed that it will not happen and will continue to only be a fantasy in the minds of the inept and hopelessly idiotic, though admittedly sometimes good natured, people.
