New Fine, I'll fillet the red herring
And Marlowe/Drew, don't even bother to reply to this if you can't make the FIRST step and provide even a THEORY about "The Truth" of people.
Right after you tell me "The Truth" about light.

Umm ... what about light?

You know, light! The Truth!

But that question doesn't even mean anything.

See! You can't tell me "The Truth" about light!

Err, actually there's lot's of things I believe to be true about light. Which ones do you want?

"The Truth!" Haven't you been paying attention?

Yeah, and I haven't heard you ask anything that seems to refer to anything specific.

New Ummmm, I said there wasn't one. Or did you miss that?
Right after you tell me "The Truth" about light.
Umm, did you miss all those posts where I said "The Truth" didn't exist?

Did you miss my tooth fairey house analogy?

See! You can't tell me "The Truth" about light!
Because "The Truth" does not exist. I've said this. I've said this many times. You and Marlowe are the ones claiming it does AND claiming that you can approximate it.

And so I have ANOTHER example of how prior held beliefs will filter "facts" to fit them with opinions which are regarded as "The Truth".

Drew, I said to NOT bother replying if you couldn't answer.

You couldn't answer.

Yet you replied.

And you believe you have the intellectual capability to determine what "Truth" is?

                             Drew, you are an idiot. - (Brandioch) - (23) - Feb. 27, 2002, 05:57:11 PM EST
                                 Is it the truth that Drew is an idiot? - (marlowe) - (22) - Feb. 27, 2002, 06:55:11 PM EST
