It seems to me, through the weeks of reading posts on this forum, that FE people offer up very little evidence on the subjects on which they post.
What I mean is, the FE people have many explanations for many different events. That's fine. But where, may I ask, is your scientific evidence for many of these CLAIMS? They are mostly not answers, but what the scientific community(which I hope to one day be apart of) call a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is "a suggested explanation for a phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal suggesting a possible correlation between multiple phenomena."[1]
That is what many of FE people claim to be proof of their theories. They claim their hypotheses are scientific fact. As I see it, FE theory may not even be theory.
A theory is "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena."[2]
For example, FE people claim there is no such thing as gravity, or that gravity only plays a minor role in the universe. They site no experiments to back this up.
Tom, recently, claimed the moon's phases are caused by a shadow object. Although I can find no direct quotes of him saying this, he must be furthering its hypothesis by claiming it has an orbit.[3] Yet, he provides no evidence of it existing.
My whole point is to say to everyone on this forum, please use the scientific method(as defined here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method) when making arguements and this site quite possibly could become a better debating forum.
