Depends on whether you are looking at the wavelength the frequency or both. However, despite the empirical data there is the qualitative sense experience which is individual to all of us. I have no way of knowing that was you see as blue due to common language is what I see as red. VFX

The issue is one of deep philosophical perspective. Can any truths be known by thinking about it? We all know that some things are true by their definition eg "all circles are round" and mathematics fits into that realm. Other examples are "All bachelors are unmarried." "All triangles have...

Everything is possible, that just depends on your imagination, it is just really a matter of probability. The probability of matter arising from nothingness is highly improbable about 1x 10-(infinity) yours VFX

The evidence is there and overwhelming, you just need to take the time and study the material either by yourself or through a reputable educational provider like a University. :study :study :study However, nothing can be proved, only supported by the evidence. I might add that you could...

Some people reject science and prefer "Earth Magic" and shamanism which can be a nice delusion like drugs I guess. VFX

All we know at present is that matter and energy are interchangeable which accounts for the functionality of nuclear weapons. So matter can come from energy and recent advances in quantum tele-transportation have confirmed this even if it is not to the level of "Star Trek". It would seem that...

The French from 1789 thought the same about the head on some people and so surgically removed them. :crazy ??????????

Great thought experiment Rick W but you do not have the slightest shred of evidence to support that hypothesis. You cannot alter the facts to fit in with your beliefs: the contrary is true however, in that your belief system may need to be modified. yours ??????????

one could make the following statement and they have..atheist forums in different forms of saying the same thing. The point here being is that the same statement can be turned around to anything which is based on belief, faith..due to the unsubstantiated nature of the beliefs. In the past...

I see nothing wrong with the random mutation suggestion without the + or - guidelines due to the sheer number of species and members within the species over huge geological time. Over this scale the probabilities of change due to natural selection becomes within the acceptable range and in fact...

The Piltdown man was a deception by some Christians who knew that the hoax would be exposed one day. They knew that this would discredit evolution in the minds of the uneducated and the pious who are begging for evolution not to be true. Well, the news for them is all bad, as evolution is...

So who is disagreeing with you?? Certainly not me..you are saying exactly what I have been saying around here for a long time. :study

Evolution is a fact and it has been verified time and time again. Industries have been built up using the knowledge gained from evolutionary theory. Not only that evolutionary theory is the golden thread that holds all of biology together. Science does this by continuously comparing its...

Why not? We appear to evolved from sea dwelling creatures. Nice to think that my distant relative was a trilobite or something. :study

This is an elliptical statement analytic a priori, and seems to mean very little though sounding somewhat impressive. However, knowledge is built on previous knowledge and modified to fit the facts. It is not so much the facts that are wrong but our interpretation of those facts which usually...

Evolution is a fact and it is how God ordained the situation. :thumb The amount of evidence for evolution is incredible yet there is very little hard evidence for creationism, if any at all. I think I will ride with logic and the scientists on this one. yours VFX

It is indeed a pleasure. ?????????? VFX

That means little to me but thanks for the advise. No one listens to a lecturer but one reads the information from the libraries all of which give supporting evidence: it is this evidence that the lecturer is speaking about. I doubt if they would have their job very long if they were giving...

The only true answer once this has cleared up is allopurinol: see your doctor and get some. Tumeric and other herbal remedies in my opinion are quakery. However use them if you want and plenty of water. Do not use allopurinol while you have gout as that will make it worse, but once you take...

Gout is to some extent inherited but it due to an increase of uric acid levels which cause them to crystallize out in joints. Your body sees the invading crystals as an enemy and so attacks it and the joint as well. Plenty of water will help but avoid it all together and get allopurinol...
