Reply #37: Well known lie? Easy to lay waste?

[skepticscott]

Well, the fact is, an anthropologist from another planet studying our culture thousands of years from now would find just as much evidence that Santa Claus really existed as that Jesus and his daddy did. Does your "proof" put the lie to each and every one of those incidents of consumed milk and cookies, or show that all of the parents who deny leaving presents from "Santa" are being dishonest? I think not, but despite that, you are still able to be absolutely sure that the guy in the red suit doesn't exist. I suggest you ask yourself why that is, and give your own understanding of epistemology a little re-think.

And as darkstar said, you really are utterly out of your depth when it comes to science, so you'd be well advised not to pontificate about it. When you talk about there being "absolute proof" in physics, it tells all of the more knowledgeable people here that you have no clue about how science or the scientific method work. You might want to do a bit of your own research before you start slinging that kind of nonsense around this board.

Thanks for playing, though...
