Why are posts concerning God made at all to sciences news groups.
Science and God have nothing to do with each other. Not a thing. Render
unto Science what belongs to Science and forget about God altogether.

How many Americans know where Canada is, versus vice-versa? Folks
standing in roadside ditchcs loudly curse traffic zooming by. The
traffic doesn't take notice of them.

The sole (well HUGE majority) driver of this is George Hammond and his
SPOG tripe.

Between his huge volume of posts, and the retorts from those that can
smell tripe at 20 paces - it tends to flood the innocent.

Suggestions:

1. Ignore all Hammond threads.

2. Join in the rock throwing and mocking. Come on - despite it's getting
a bad name, shooting fish in a barrel is fun. I'd feel bad if it were
real fish,...but fish aren't pompous.

Bob, as you undoubtedly have noticed, most people simply do not know what
science is, even though is was explained to them in junior high. The number
of replies I made simply explaining what was taught to me in grade 8 is
beyond belief.

Thanks

This was taught to you in grade 8? Amazing.

I was taught before grade 8.

.. Apparently you went to a
pretty good school.

I was taught about differences in Sunday School. I don't remember
when I started going to that.

Here in Germany, I first learned a bit (but only a bit) what science
really is in my third semester of my physics study, when I was already
20. It was not taught at all in school, IIRC.

I was doing biology experiments in grade 5. I can't remember
when I wasn't doing physics applications, especially in the
mechanics part. I may not have been able to put them down
on paper but I sure knew about forces when I played on
the merry-go-round.

I was doing biology experiments in grade 5.

If the counting of grades is the same in the US as here in Germany,
that would have been at an age of about 10 or 11?

If yes, that is also true for me, IIRC.

What has doing biology experiments and physics applications to do
with actually learning what *science* is?

Were you ever told that doing experiments is the most crucial part in
science? That theories in science can not be proved, only falsified by
experiments?

I never learned that in grade school or high school. I did not become
aware of Popper until I was in college.

Well, *that* was essentially what I meant by "learning what science is".
