re: #364 LudwigVanQuixote

No my assertion, which is fully correct, and that you missed, is that atoms and molecules do not care what we think about them. They do not care what we legislate and that they obey the laws of nature. If you choose to put a gun to your head and pull the trigger, then wishful thinking a moment later will not save you.

Don’t even try to weasel out of this. You deliberately brought up atoms and molecules not caring what people thought to imply that their behavior would lead to the conclusion you’re promoting without regard to what anyone felt, in a deterministic obeisance to the laws of physics. The problem is that your argument doesn’t hold water when using such simple objects as props, as already explained. You’re attempting to equivocate between a very simple, well understood system and a system which is many order of magnitude more complex and which is not completely understood.

If you’re simply going to attack anyone who disagrees with you, you’re certainly not going to sway them over to your side. All you manage is to antagonize, something you seem to have a fairly good handle on but which isn’t serving your purpose, unless your purpose is only to inflame. Science ought to enlighten. Perhaps you could give that a whirl sometime.
