ReplyDeleteSo it was an interesting and thoughtful quote that I think supports many of my doubts about scientific "truths." Also, it describes much of YOUR ranting to a T, you being the weakest link in almost all discussions requiring truth and logic.
DeleteC'mon. Hit me with your best shot.
If I were you, Adullamite, I'd hit with more than one shot.
DeleteIncidentally, I have been meaning to ask you why you took me off your personal email list. Have I done something to offend you? I miss them.
ReplyDeleteEstablishing which is the weakest link is the hard part.
ReplyDeleteNot so hard. :)
