     Reply #450 - August 15, 2015, 04:12 PM

    We all know you can't prove something doesn't exist.


    Wrong.

    1. There exists a square-circle (assumption)
    2. A square-circle denotes an item made up of incompossible elements (definitional contradiction)
    3. Ergo, there does not exist a square-circle.

    The above is a proof by contradiction. By assuming the existence of something and showing that the assumed existence leads to a contradiction, I have proven that it cannot exist. As aforementioned Teddy boy, you may want to avoid talking about logic when you clearly know very little about the subject.

    My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.

    But you need to demonstrate this scientifically ie via observation and experiments. Once you've demonstrated that a square circle does not exist scientifically then I'll accept I was wrong.  whistling2

    A square-circle leads to a definitional contradiction. X cannot have the properties of a square and circle at the same time. No experimentation is required to demonstrate this.

    Cute ad hoc rescue though, ted.

    Hmm good point., let me read those words again

    "scientifically ie via observation and experiments."

    Ted... teddy..teddy bear.,  I will prove it and I will show it to you.  Do you got the money to support such observation and experiments?  

    Teddy., my problem with you is not that.,  but  my problem is "neither you know the meaning of scientific proof., or you know  the  meaning of experiments nor you know the difference between  observations and experiments".

    That is the problem..

    That is the fundamental point of your argument Teddy., and many readers do understand your point of view  and They + me  sympathize with you. Let me clearly write your logic., So the bottom line of your argument in EVERY POST of yours is    ..
    Quote
    ..."If you can not prove  "God/allah whatever  exits hence god exists"..............

    ..."If you can not prove  "square circle does not exist scientifically  then god exists"..............

    with same logic.. let me add one more statement... I just  pooped and I prayed allah/god whatever......   So the argument again is
    Quote
    If you can not prove that god didn't make the poop  that came out your ass .. then then god exists"


    That is your logic Teddy and it is fantastic Ted.  I can assure you no one can beat that logic..

    Draw a circle and a square. Look up both words in the dictionary. Look at what you have drawn. See if a squared circle makes an sense by comparing the definition and your two drawings. Now attempt draw a squared-circle which still maintains the definitions of both. When you have failed to do this you just falsified the idea. At times visual aids are easier to understand than text.

    But you need to demonstrate this scientifically ie via observation and experiments. Once you've demonstrated that a square circle does not exist scientifically then I'll accept I was wrong.  whistling2


    First, let's put into quotation marks the words you are deliberately misusing or do not know/accurately understand the definitions for:

    But you need to "demonstrate" this "scientifically" ie via "observation" and "experiments." Once you've "demonstrated" that a square circle does not exist "scientifically" then I'll "accept" I was "wrong."  whistling2

    Now let's take apart how you're misusing/misrepresenting these words:

    Demonstrate:
    To you, means to comprehensively eliminate all the possible "goddunnits" anyone can possibly imagine, whether or not those "goddunnits" are themselves supported by any evidence, observation, or experiments.
    To everyone else, means
    • clearly show the existence or truth of (something) by giving proof or evidence. OR
    • give a practical exhibition and explanation of (how a machine, skill, or craft works or is performed).
    Sometimes, a practical exhibition or explanation is impossible with available technology, but it is possible to demonstrate the existence or truth of something another way, and vice versa. And your failure to understand the available evidence, exhibition, explanation, or truth does not invalidate it, nor is your failure to understand proof that "goddunnit."

    Scientifically
    To you: means "I have no idea how it works, so it might as well be magic."
    To everyone else: That which we can demonstrate through processes to be not magic; a systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject.

    Observation
    To you: means "I must personally understand and accept your demonstration."
    To everyone else: "the action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information." The vastness of the universe and the expansiveness of modern human knowledge means that, unless we manage to perfect transferring our consciousness to computers, it is extremely unlikely that any living person will ever have a complete understanding of every observation made by humans. However, we are a species that has the remarkable ability to communicate both through spoken and written word. What I'm writing here, you personally may never understand, but in 150 years, another person may come along, read this, and understand it. And that is an incredible accomplishment. It means each of us has the ability to learn more than we can observe in our own lifetimes, and also to leave our observations for people who we will never meet, so they can learn more than they can observe as well.

    Experiments
    To you: means "whatever I can understand, that can comprehensively and consistently overcome my reflex to put my fingers in my ears and scream 'GODDUNNIT'."
    To everyone else: a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact, or a course of action tentatively adopted without being sure of the eventual outcome.

    "I will accept I was wrong"
    To you: Means I will continue to deny that I am wrong while simultaneously screaming "goddunnit" until you shut up.
    To everyone else: Means "I will accept that the evidence does not support my previous view of the world and adjust my view of the world accordingly, adjusting or eliminating my previous opinions."

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I have a sonic screwdriver, a tricorder, and a Type 2 phaser.

    To Ted's question. Experimentation is not always required. Theories can be based on inference. Stars have gravity which causes movement. Dust can collide due to the movement transferred by the gravity of a star to the dust. Inference is a valid method. You are parroting a single method of science as the only method of science.

    It does not require science since it is about linguistics. Again demonstrating what you have no idea what you are talking about. Heck it seems like you do not know the difference between a square and a circle. I hope you realize this does make you look stupid.

    Still not demonstrated it via observation and experimentation.  You're just postulating. Try again.

    It's not a scientific postulate. Why the fuck would anyone need to scientifically "prove" it?

    It's an argument regarding the definitions of a square and circle. To anyone who has a basic understanding of mathematics, it is clear that something cannot simultaneously hold the properties of a square and circle. No real world "experimentation" is required to notice this.

    Move on, go to your local library, pick up a book on logic, read it until your eyes bleed and then get back to me after you've understood the a priori and a posteriori distinction.

    My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.

    Nope. Draw both as these are geometric shapes which can be represented by a drawing. No need to find a square or circular rock. Look at the definitions of both. Now attempt to draw a squared circle while maintaining both definitions.

    If you do not understand this you are either willfully ignorant, a troll or stupid.

    You can create the evidence by drawing a presentation of the geometric shape. I am guessing you never took or passed grade school math. The question can be resolved either way. Science is only required when one does not understand basic words such as circle and square.
