Without a religious worldview to protect/promote, what possible motivation would one have for "wanting" the universe to work a certain way? |
Why? Because no one wants war, that's why. We're all motivated to find answers to this serious problem; the only difference is that Lessans has found a solution.

And you don't think Lessans fits that description? He was the most astute observer that anyone could be. Just because he didn't start out with a hypothesis didn't make him wrong. You would rather reject his observations because they didn't follow the "correct" scientific protocol, and be right, than admit the possibility that he may actually have a discovery, and be wrong.

I know that is what is sounds like, but I am not a fundie. I am very much like you in my desire to know the truth. You reject anything that smells of fake. I hate fake.

I guess I
am being histrionic. After seeing Lessans' discoveries go down the drain due to skepticism and arrogance, how am I supposed to act? Don't start giving me advice; that was a rhetorical question.

I am not being arrogant LadyShea just because I believe Lessans has a genuine scientific discovery. You would never ever tell Einstein that the people supporting him were histrionic or were projecting. Please don't respond, it will do us no good.

He has been relentless from day one after realizing that Lessans' discoveries were inconsistent with special relativity.

Oh really? His psyche seems very fragile. Look over this thread and you will see that David is very protective of his beliefs.

I am not projecting. But no one has come up with an answer as to why we can't see objects from light without the object in view, therefore I don't think I'm wrong. I am trying to work with scientists on their terms. It's like "see no evil, hear no evil. Everyone is trying to make science fit into what they believe has already been proved. But mistakes can be made. Do you not get this LadyShea? If you can't even get this, what do you want from me?
