  1. Re:Anti-Scientists are NOT a Majority on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 1


    Actually this is quite correct. It proves that there are very few ideas obtained by the scientific method that are "completely wrong".

    Since there is no such thing as an absolute frame of reference, it is possible to construct a working model of the Universe that is centered around earth. The problem is that it would be an incomplete picture, and not be able to explain many cosmological observations at high redshifts (things that happened before the Earth existed). Another problem with the geocentric theories was the implicit assumption that the only interactions that determined the motion of heavenly bodies were those between the bodies and earth, there was no mention of mutual interactions where the earth wasn't involved, which would be stronger and thus involve motion that does not center around earth (like binary star systems, distant galaxies moving away from 'earth', instead of spinning around it, and stuff)


    Likewise, the caloric theory of heat (in conjunction with Phlogiston) was not completely wrong either. It so happens that heat does have some fluidic properties, and can even have a vorticity and obey the Navier-Stokes Equation in nonequilibrium systems (the problem with caloric theory is very subtle, and involves the assumtion that heat is a massive mode,conserved like particle number in a canonical or grand canonical ensemble, which is wrong). Even the awful theory of "Phrenology" has a few things that are true. If you get a nasty bump in your head, you can get brain damage and thus become dumber.



    My point is that any idea or conclusion obtained by the proper application of the scientific method is rarely complete garbage. Just that sometimes, it's not the whole story, and parts of said theory might be off. The religious people do not use the scientific method to obtain their theories, so they have no basis in truth. I wish I could articulate this issue better, but it's late & I'm tired.

    If I have 2 spin 1/2 particles, spaced 20,000 light-years apart, their kets still superpose instantaneously (with no informational lag when I make one measurement at one point in space), so that's transmitting information superluminally. There's demonstrations that only noise can be transferred this way, not coherent information, and that's a possible workaround. But it's still an apparent violation of causality.

    The Nordic race was thought to be prevalent in northern Europe, especially among speakers of the Germanic languages. The division of the whites into Nordic, Alpine, and Mediterrean races was a theory proposed by Joseph Deniker, a Frenchman, but it was consistently touted by Germans in order to bolster their idealogy of supremacy.

    The Anglo-German racial theorist Houston Stewart Chamberlain, who would become a role model for Adolf Hitler, classified Nordics as the original Celtic and Germanic peoples, as well as some Slavic peoples, namely the Balts, Belgians, Dutch, English, French, Germans, Irish, Poles, Scandinavians, Scots, and Welsh. Chamberlain would refer to these people as Celto-Germanic, which is basically Nordic.

    Among many white supremacists in Europe and the USA, the Nordic race came to be thought of as the most advanced of human population groups, hence its equation in Nazi ideology with the so-called Aryan master race. It even came to be identified as an entirely independent grouping rather than just a small division of the more distinct Caucasoid or White Race. Nordicism was thus a particular type of white supremacism, one which did not recognize all degrees of "white" as being equal. Italians, Slavs, and Jews were among those considered significantly inferior to the Nordics.

    You can't judge the demerits of murder by the number of people that the murderers killed. That's too simplistic. As I maintain, the Nazis didn't just kill people, they tried to eradicate an entire way of life from the present as well as the past. They tried to erase the existence of the Jewish civilization from ALL recorded history. They did this for a reason. Their entire society (their vision of the 1000 Year Reich) was fuelled by ethnic hatred. They wanted somebody to blame, they wanted somebody to kill.

    There is ample historical evidence to prove this. Hitler's own speeches, support of the Reich from anti-semetic organizations in the US and in Europe, pictorial records of the holocaust, detailed written records kept by Germans like Adolf Eichmann about the systematic and planned slaughter of Jews in Poland, and other parts of eastern Europe.


    There is no such evidence to suggest that the Japanese had a planned idealogy of annihiliating the Chinese civilization. No speeches made by their military leaders about 'Chinese conspiracies to take over the world', no records that they planned to have every Chinese person dragged into concentration camps and killed. No records that they intended to kill women in China systematically and prevent an entire generation of Chinese people from being born.


    The murders perpetrated by japanese soldier was essentially unplanned, and a knee-jerk instinctive reaction modulated by the traditional rivalry between the two countries. That makes them human, not evil.

    I never said that China's hands were squeaky clean, either. However, the whites are in no position to take the moral high ground. What the People's Republic have done in Tibet is nothing in comparison to white persecution. Maybe if you actually WENT TO TIBET and saw the situation for yourself (I have), you'll see past the exaggerated propaganda of the western media and see that the only people 'sufferring' are a bunch of Buddhist crazies, who are not too different from the other religious maniacs who threaten to ruin the fabric of an enlightened civilization, and who have manipulated the media against China.




    The People's Republic is (at least in principle) against religious mania, and see it for the threat it really is.





    "yeah, if you contrast the horrors committed by the French and the Germans and the British and the Americans against Asians over 300 years to the atrocities committed by just the Japanese over a few years, the later set doesn't compare. but WTF?!? compare like to like! compare the atrocities committed by europeans (heck, we'll lump in the Americans for you) over the past 300 years to the atrocities committed by all Asians against Asians in the same period, and we've got a much more even set. i'd even suggest that the Sino-Russian and Sino-Chinese wars in themselves tip the scales in "favor of" Asian-on-Asian violence. and the Asians have a much longer history of living with each other, trying to work this stuff out... why, exactly, should we expect to see major improvements overnight just because the Japanese get the upper hand? "



    Yes, the "White Man's Burden". I know of it. Those "half-child-half-devil" "oriental" people. Such savages, who 'kill each other' don't deserve to have their own independent states.

    I shouldn't be surprised that white people still spread their hate through defamation. It's just how they think.



    "sounds to me like Christians wouldn't be welcomed in your Asian paradise, either. so, what, "sorry, Philippines?" "

    Christianity is not part of Asian culture. It is a foreign influence that has infected our countries like a disease. I have nothing against Philippine people per-se, but I see them, and other christians in China, India etc. as patients infected by a sickness. You don't punish people for being sick. I don't blame them for causing it or spreading it. It's certainly not the fault of Phillipine people that they were forced to convert at gunpoint by evangelical Americans.



    The blame for causing the disease of Christianity goes right on the European lap. I have no problem with Asian christians living out in Asia, as long as the disease doesn't spread further. Any attempts made by them to convert people to christianity must be met with swiftaction. Christianity MUST NOT SPREAD ANY FURTHER IN ASIA. This maxim is imperative to our survival.






    "and what about Muslims? same religious family,after all, and they've engaged in just as many "absurd religious crusades""


    Yep, that part is true. The same rule that
