news:RG8jf.134470$S4.127402@edtnps84... "Dave" wrote in message oups.com... From Webster's New World College Dictionary, 4th edition. Theory: a formulation of apparent relationships or underlying principles of certain observed phenomena which has been verified to some degree. OK, this seems to fit well. And I'll concede that proof is not the right word in my previous post. Fact would be more like it. I don't doubt that there's enough data for some degree of verification, but that doesn't rise to the level of fact. Let's remember that professional scientists are as human as the rest of us, and as vulnerable to consensus and predjudice. And no diversion was intended. While one truth does not drive out another, one may certainly have more relevance and more demonstrable effect. Untill I see more factual (empirical if you like) evidence, I won't rush to bark up the wrong tree. Best Wishes............Dave Just curious: what would you consider convincing evidence? So what do people think? Is it time for me to give up waiting for an answer to this question...again? -- Coby Beck (remove #\Space "coby 101 @ bigpond . com") |
