This thread would probably be a good spot to post ideas and reasonable explanations as to why it is futile to ask for evidence or proof in a text-based Board; but more importantly should asking for proof or evidence take the place of actual first-hand research? Moreover, should inability to observe or measure a potentially viable event be the closing of the book on the IDEA that it supports or should it be dismissed as non-existent. Basically, should we use our imagination to discover the unknown and become self-aware, or rely solely on observation and measurements to continue our exploration into our already rich and fulfilling lives?
*patiently awaiting SkinCream to proofread my error filled message, and reply using these as PROOF of my own unsatisfactory credibility.* Hmm, let's see how about, "...we as scientists could(n't) YET provide them with it,..." or previously, "...something you<r> yourself won(')t<'> investigate..." Please RedCream, be fair, this place is only a DISCUSSION board and not a board of INQUIRY!!! This isn't the modern day spanish inquisition! C'Mon! Wake up, smell the smog, this is the future, not the 1600's. All I am ever doing by what ever means I may is to provide and insite people with ideas to investigate ON THEIR OWN!!! Those that willing accept these ideas as truths or lies without investigating either plant the idea in their mind as DOGMA by acceptance or DENY and repress. That is the sad state of the world, and those that don't see it as sad are probably so deeply emersed within their own dogma and other's delusions and ILLUSIONS that they themselves can't see the forest for the trees. So please, RedScat, be a TEAM player and start contributing, and stop DENY DENY DENYing all over creation cause no one really knows; your way just has to be RIGHT! BTW, kuddos to supporting my primary idea of identifying why it's important to use "Anonymous" in the post as opposed to "RedCream" it's to seperate you from direct attack and self-implication. Read the 5th amendment, IF YOU DARE!!!
