Insulting and pathetic. trotsky Feb 2013 #1

I like most of this. Do you have some sources for the Einstein quotes? patrice Feb 2013 #2

Not for those, but I know a good one. SarahM32 Feb 2013 #7

I have tried to say the same thing WAAAAY less elegantly, and with way more words, here on DU. patrice Feb 2013 #9

You're welcome. And thank you! SarahM32 Feb 2013 #10

And what exactly do rationalists skepticscott Feb 2013 #13

I don't feel a need to prove anything to you. I'm tired & need to go look for work so here's a riff: patrice Feb 2013 #14

In other words skepticscott Feb 2013 #15

No, it's a general observation of the state of discourse on the topic, not an analysis, and words patrice Feb 2013 #16

Thank you, SarahM32, it's not easy sticking my head up like this and at least trying to do patrice Feb 2013 #35

When you get the OP skepticscott Feb 2013 #46

Again, I should correct you. SarahM32 Feb 2013 #23

So how is saying skepticscott Feb 2013 #24

Well you'd like to, but you can't, because the facts are on my side. trotsky Feb 2013 #25
