Cretinism

Next excuse please.

Well, there's proof, and then there's proof.

The ability to constuct a working atomic bomb rather tends to confirm the essential correctness of the theory upon which its construction is based, to my way of thinking at least. At least there is a strong causal coupling there.

But a fundamentalist could just as well theorize that any atomic bomb explodes for no other reason than that it is God's will. Furthermore, had God ever wished to, He could have exploded a bathtub or a horse in the same way and with the saem effect, and should God ever tire of exploding atomic bombs in this way, they would cease to operate.

Clearly, this God-based theory fully explains the operation of an atomic bomb and cannot be disproved. Therefore it should be taught on an equal footing with conventional physics, right?

I submit that "seeing all truth claims as ideological" is reactionary, not to mention extraordinarily stupid. Your insistence that I be polite and nuanced toward your sacred cows is, under the circumstances, hilarious, though perfectly understandable.

Which post-modernist/structuralist philosophers have claimed that atomic bombs can be constructed through faith? I must've missed them essays.

Willful ignorance of science is obviously A Bad Thing. Willful ignorance of philosophy okay tho right?

"seeing all truth claims as ideological" isn't exackly pomo. I think Marx prob'ly subscribed to that train of thought.

I'm not upset that you're boldly butchering my sacred cows; I just have this mad theory that people who use bigoted language are betraying a certain unpleasantness in their non-existent souls.

???

What the fuck are you talking about?

Not a very good one, I grant you.

Shall we discuss some more my alleged conclusion-jumping?

Or is this the point where you revert to "corniness" canards and tiresome generation-baiting?

That guy?
