Falsifiability? Let's not be Naive. (Page 6)

AchillesSinatra: Oh, I'll be seeing my lemurs again soon. Back to Madagascar next month

These things are adorable

theHating: Lets face it, colin, all science is working from assumptions.

theHating: Tsk tsk

theHating: Science rip

AchillesSinatra: I don't have a problem with assumptions.

What I DO have a problem with is a vacuous tautology masquerading as an empirical hypothesis.

Angry Beaver: Fitness doesn't mean as much in the human sphere as, due to medical science, a totally unfit, underweight, toothless crackhead can still live and spawn his little family payment kiddies by intervention, in Darwin's world such intervention would not have been there, bastard would have died IE: unfit

AchillesSinatra: Then the 90-lb weakling with the buck teeth is BY DEFINITION fit.

Don't you see?

theHating: Lol me too colin vacuous and all that

Angry Beaver: Not if he was a lifelong doper and crackhead having an overdose with no paramedics nearby

AchillesSinatra: The fit are, by definition, those who survive and reproduce successfully.

If you're old, ugly, fat, bald, and can't carry a tune (like me) but get laid more than Johnny Depp, then you are BY DEFINITION fit.

theHating: Fit for a round bottom

Angry Beaver: I'm fit to be tied!

AchillesSinatra: I'm not sure if anyone understands. Few do

theHating: Im fit, for a mop handle.

Angry Beaver:

theHating: As far as mass extinctions go, lava wins everytime.

AchillesSinatra: I used to have an entire thread on the topic of "biological fitness" back when I was Colin.

You'll find it in the science forum archives.... covered in dust.

Angry Beaver: Can't stop the music! Or the lava

AchillesSinatra: Yes, you can. Just pull out the plug.

Angry Beaver:

theHating: Say, colin, whats fit, naturally selective, and full of holes?

AchillesSinatra: Oh FFS!!

I draw the line at the Village People.

Get off my plane!!

Angry Beaver: Unless it's an A Capella group?

theHating: Hahahahajahah oh fk yes beavs!

AchillesSinatra: "Say, colin, whats fit, naturally selective, and full of holes?"

Your sexy neglige?
