...from a number of forums this week. Discussing why 9/11 was an inside job, man-made global warming is a scam, Darwin's notion of the common origin of species and peer science's modern evolutionary synthesis, homology as proof for "evolution", viability of transitional speciation, timelines and the fossil records, etc. is all either a load of crap or conjecture at best. Didn't even discuss ET or celestial issues and all that involves, among other things...

Is this normal when one tries to pursue the truth, have an open mind and either ask for proof (that almost always cannot be supplied) or provide virtual proof for one's argument?

Thanks and best regards, DSA

No it is not normal, but it usually depends on how you approach such an endeavor.

If you are demanding in a way that you require absolute evidence to prove your theories wrong, but at the same time, only offer up circumstantial "virtual" evidence yourself to prove your side of the theory is right, then yeah, expect some backlash.

If you claim yourself to be totally open minded but then turn around and reject other people's views that are contradictory to yours without intelligent consideration, then yeah, expect some backlash.

If you strongly push your ideas, but then get defensive (and possibly demeaning) when someone questions your ideas, then yeah, expect some backlash.

To be honest, I'm not sure how you can provide "virtual" proof of anything and at the same time claim a purely open mind. If you truly have an open mind, then "virtual" proof of anything does not exist, so that is, IMO, a contradictory position that could be asking for backlash in itself...

So, for instance, asking people to explain how a 757 created the neat hole bored in the rings of the pentagon leaving the lawn untouched and no wreckage whatsoever deserves backlash and ridicule? Asking people to explain how the Cambrian explosion occurred when it's taken cyanobacteria 3 billion years to simply develop the ability to photosynthesize sunlight deserves ridicule and backlash befitting a "bible-thumping creationist moron" (I'm not religious by the way)? Asking why the IPCC completely butchered patent paleoclimatological data in it's 2001 report makes me an idiot? These are very rudimentary examples. I may have worded my initial post poorly but by saying "virtual proof". I meant posing an argument against with information available, using lack of evidence as reasoning for other "explanations" and simple common sense actually. I don't claim to know anything for sure but only wished to discuss these thing objectively. Anyway, it doesn't really matter...

Hehehe...

I hear ya... I see examples of things like that all the time on some of the major CT forum around the net... Smile

I guess it is all relative in many senses as well. For example if you posed your 9/11 question on the "I believe The Pentagon Was Hit By A Missile" Forum website, then I would be surprised at any backlash at all. Whereas if you posed the credibility of the theory of evolution on Charles Darwin's personal forum website, then I would certainly expect backlash... Smile

Hehe, know what I mean? So many factors involved on why people react as they do... No right answer, and in the end, you are right... "it doesn't really matter..."

Some forum moderators cannot and do not tolerate information or data that contradicts what they personally know.

This one's pretty cool.
