factNow find a definition of 'fact'. Also suggest finding an authoritative source on the difference between fact and opinion.
Find a experiment that could falsify 1 + 1 = 2. Even Popper made exceptions for the inability to falsify mathematical statements.I think you'll have a hard time finding a resource to back your claim of facts not being falsifiable. It is the thing that makes a fact a fact.
The VAERS database you just linked to is funded by taxes on the pharmacological companies and run the government you claim is keeping things secret.Every source and article you have posted is big pharm funded or the bill & melinda gates foundation. These are criminal cartels and mafias. Just accept the fact you have been duped played and tricked. The only disinformation in this thread has been blindly parroted by yes men like you. Sellouts enemy to the people. Murderous criminal machine supporters.
The capacity for proving 1+1=2 as being true or false is contained in the Principia Mathematica proof.Find a experiment that could falsify 1 + 1 = 2.
I'm going to need you to expand on that thought to understand what you are saying. Please give me an example of a thing that is known true but not proved true.Known or proved, not known and proved.
You just pushed it off a level. Can you find a falsification for the method of logic used in Principia Mathematica?The capacity for proving 1+1=2 as being true or false is contained in the Principia Mathematica proof.
Anything that is proven true is not falsifiable.I'm going to need you to expand on that thought to understand what you are saying. Please give me an example of a thing that is known true but not proved true.
It is a 360 page proof. Are you asking me to prove the proof? I don't get what you are driving at.You just pushed it off a level. Can you find a falsification for the method of logic used in Principia Mathematica?
Falsifiability describes the capability to use evidence to conclusively prove or disprove a thing. I think we've got a miscommunication over this word that isn't important to the broader point of what differentiates opinion from fact. Let's go back to opinion versus fact.Anything that is proven true is not falsifiable.
Scientific theories are not scientific fact. The best explanation of the available evidence is typically called the null hypothesis. It isn't called scientific fact. Being considered scientific fact is a very high bar. Even ideas with a truly massive amount of evidence in support with no evidence against, such as Einstein's Special and General Relativity, are still not considered fact by PhD physicists.For your example, I offer any scientific theory you can name. Known true, but only because it is the best explanation of the available evidence, and all are unproven.
I'm actually pretty familiar with the proof.It is a 360 page proof. Are you asking me to prove the proof? I don't get what you are driving at.
More precisely, to whether everything that is not fact must therefore be an opinion, such as with th estatement you made, "Moral values are opinions. They cannot be falsified."Falsifiability describes the capability to use evidence to conclusively prove or disprove a thing. I think we've got a miscommunication over this word that isn't important to the broader point of what differentiates opinion from fact. Let's go back to opinion versus fact.
Fact is actually a very low bar in science. You see a piece of metal on a twisted wire move 1 degree, and that is a fact. The reading of 3.0 of a voltage meter is a fact. Facts are ordinary, everyday occurrences.Scientific theories are not scientific fact. The best explanation of the available evidence is typically called the null hypothesis. It isn't called scientific fact. Being considered scientific fact is a very high bar. Even ideas with a truly massive amount of evidence in support with no evidence against, such as Einstein's Special and General Relativity, are still not considered fact by PhD physicists.
Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from apelike ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other, yet to be discovered.
I think it's pretty clear moral values are neither opinion nor fact. Part of your error is assuming opinion and fact form a partition over the class of all statements.As I said above, to get this back on track I think we should concentrate on how to distinguish fact from opinion. To be absolutely clear I don't intend this as a slight toward you but I am shocked at how confused our culture has made opinions and facts. When I googled 'opinion vs fact' all of the top results were from colleges. I hadn't thought this was college level stuff. That said, if you research opinion versus fact I think it will be clear where moral values fall.
Do you believe that moral values are never a matter of opinion?I think it's pretty clear moral values are neither opinion nor fact.
