That would make sense if my comment was actually foolish.


And indeed it was.  A scientific theory is a type of theory?  Sure.  But that doesn't mean you could ignore the word scientific.  A scientific theory is a special case of a theory, and therefore should be treated differently.  To imply that all theories are on equal ground (which you implied even if you did not say) is foolish.  To imply that we shouldn't teach scientific theories in science class even more so.

Similarly a domesticated dog and a dog are two very different things.  Just like with different types of theories, you'd probably be ok with one being in your child's classroom, but not the other.

You're under no obligation to respond.  If you feel you have better places to embarrass yourself, then go ahead and don't allow me to stop you.  But if you're going to bring something up in a public forum, don't get upset when people challenge it.


Clearly there is no point in talking to you. I was simply defending Spurge, because someone said he was embarrassing himself for using the word theory instead of scientific theory. What Spurge said was certainly correct and he most definitely did not "embarrass himself". A scientific theory is a subclass of theory, which means Spurge did nothing wrong. "I drove my vehicle to work today". "I drove my car to work today". Car is a subclass of vehicle, therefore, neither statement is incorrect, one is just more specific. Whoopdeefuckingdoo.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
