You don't know that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created everything.
Do you?

Because scientists didn’t predict covid19 is not a valid argument against the predictability power of science.

Sir! We are not debating the agreed upon predictability of science here! If science lacked predictability man would never have landed on the moon or sent Juno Probe to Jupiter!

What is in contention here is the ability of scientists to "know what happened 13.8billion years" ago, a claim that I have personally never heard made! Even the "13.8 billion years ago" itself is an estimate at best, as in, as close as we scientist have been able to determine with the tools available to us.

I have given you clear analogy as to why your argument is fallacious. Go back and read the dead tree analogy.

And who says science cannot tell what happened 13.8billion years ago when all the indices and markers are available to extrapolate that?
It's like assuming that science cannot know what happened during Ordovician-silurian Extinction: 440 million years ago when the all markers are available in form of fossil records.

You are the person pretending not to know the meaning of everything by making a "loaded question" fallacy
Re: The Bible Is Overrated by KnownUnknown: 10:19pm On Oct 13, 2021
Inductive reasoning: conclusion merely likely
Inductive reasoning begins with observations that are specific and limited in scope, and proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain, in light of accumulated evidence. You could say that inductive reasoning moves from the specific to the general. Much scientific research is carried out by the inductive method: gathering evidence, seeking patterns, and forming a hypothesis or theory to explain what is seen.

Conclusions reached by the inductive method are not logical necessities; no amount of inductive evidence guarantees the conclusion. This is because there is no way to know that all the possible evidence has been gathered, and that there exists no further bit of unobserved evidence that might invalidate my hypothesis. Thus, while the newspapers might report the conclusions of scientific research as absolutes, scientific literature itself uses more cautious language, the language of inductively reached, probable conclusions:

What we have seen is the ability of these cells to feed the blood vessels of tumors and to heal the blood vessels surrounding wounds. The findings suggest that these adult stem cells may be an ideal source of cells for clinical therapy. For example, we can envision the use of these stem cells for therapies against cancer tumors [...].1

All I can say is claiming to know what happened 13.8 billion years ago sounds so "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth", to me.

Pasta. You might consider that I am much less knowledgeable than you and forgive me in my unknowings.

I'm afraid I have far more important books to read. I just got Wole Soyinka's new book. I kind of feel I might learn a lot more from that. Remember I said I've tried it before and dumped it. It is required read for some though. Note. I am recommending it.

Then you cannot deliberate my beliefs if you don't understand the nitty gritty of my belief.
It's very hard that I gave you the whole answers but you still ask me questions because you don't care the read it.

I don't particularly care what anyone believes, Pasta. Especially if its what they believe from reading books. I am an antibeliever, you see, I do not give a flying fuq about the crap people cook in their heads and choose to believe, because I am far too busy understanding my own head.

Please know that I was not asking you for "whole answers", but just for simple answers to "facts" you claimed to be giving. Still, you don't owe me any answers.

Everything refers to a group of things such as a group of pencils

A group of stones

What Google calls the 'totality of existence' is just another thing


There's actually no limit to what exists


Someone called otem once confessed to be assuming there's a limit to what exists


I am not assuming

I am telling you that either there's no limit to what exists or there's never anything that exists


The former is true


Or don't you exist as whatever/whoever you are?!??
