Mmm, sorry about the long postI tend to get carried away too, so I know where you're coming from.

Anyway, I was trying to show how even though two ideas can both seem implausible, one can still be dismissed as fantasy whilst the other one is taken seriously. I was just using your examples. It could have equally been *Insert supported theory here* vs *insert unsupported theory here*.

As for string theory, it's certainly an interesting that it's essentially near impossible to provide evidence for, and perhaps it's an exception to my statement. However, it can still be falsified under certain conditions (say we find a serious fault with our current quantum theory for example), so we can decide to dismiss it if the knowledge it's based on is found to be in error in some way. Maybe it half meets my statement you quoted, I'll give you that at least.

I agree with that. You know, all I don't like is when people are so chauvinistic that they just dismiss everything religious because they ''adhere to science''. Usually these people know jack about science anyway. 

Mostly its very hard to reach a conclusion in an argument on these topics. I agree with what you say and understand why you pointed it out.

:)

I know you agree with me really.

And I understand what you mean about the atheists who reject religion because they "adhere to science", and I think they're pretty much the same ones I said annoy me too in my first post in this thread. (I have to admit though, I think I used to be a bit like that ).

I flirted with being like that too at one point.
