That's just what I was thinking. I seriously hope samurai's being intentionally ignorant and this is just a parody: otherwise, I may just have to re-assess my hope for humanity.

*points and laughs at samurai*

Sam, you arguments are surreal. The theory of evolution is supernatural because we can't directly talk to trees and planarians and hear their side of the story?

This is solid FSTDT material. Like argument from bull all over again.

ETA: Of course, I still suspect this is parody...

How the heck would a rabbit, emu, or mushroom know whether it evolved?

Seriously. I saw a porcupine walk into a wall once. It fell over, got up, and then walked into the same wall again. How the hell would that thing know whether it evolved or not? And even if I could have the mind of a porcupine for a moment, why the hell should I take its conclusions as to its existence seriously? I mean, porcupines are friggin' stupid. Mushrooms are even dumber. Why would I ever take a porcupine's conclusions or amushroom's conclusions about their origins seriously?

Might as well say that we need to be able to talk to stars before theories of atomic energy can be 'natural' since stars are actually "experiencing" nuclear fusion.

I don't think it is.

This guy posts at The Resistance Manifesto too, at least it looks just like him. Grammatical stylings are very similar and he's just as crazy there.

Whole place is crazy, actually.

True. Even if we could talk to (non-human) and plants, would they have a fucking clue about anyhing?

And even if they do, who's to say they don't have something to hide? Ever look into a cuttlefish's eyes? They. Are. On. To. Us.

So, it is the scientists that conclude. But since they are seeing far from the personal experience of the soil, or rocks, or species, then, these scientists' conclusion can not be labeled natural explanation. It can be labeled as limited information or limited human understanding of nature.

If rocks, soil, species could talk and sit down with those scientists and explained their sides, then we can say that the findings and conclusion of those scientists are really natural explanation.

This post is going down in history as one of the all-time batshit insane things posted on this forum.

Yeah, can we really trust them? I mean really trust them.

Dunno. I'll go ask them.

Edit: No reply. Nothing but that soulless, calculating stare. Science is hard. And now I've gotta go dry off.

I can prove it.

Now, I am a Christian.

I realise that English is your third language. Allow me to congratulate you on the quality of your written English.

If you can forgive me for being so bold as to help you to improve your command, can I forward the thought that there appear to be only a very few words that cause you difficulty.

These are the words "I", "can", "prove", and "it".

You're doing well other than those words.
