That is a valid argument. I dismiss claims which have no observational or emperical evidence behind them. Ie: gravitons, bendy space.But you still believe bendy light, etc?Tom doesn't believe bendy light.

Because that's the way things are.

Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?
Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.
It is just the way it is, you understanding it doesn't concern me.

Also, um, circular reasoning is invalid, so it's just as incapable of refuting things as it is of proving them.How in the hell is this an answer? "i guess it leaves the ice wall alone" you don't just get to add restrictions because you feel like it."It leaves the Ice Wall alone" is a perfectly reasonable answer for why the continents don't run into the Ice Wall. There is no evidence of the continents running into the Ice Wall.

Actually I think the argument would be: I guess continental drift is restricted to leaving the ice wall alone. Also, um, circular reasoning is invalid, so it's just as incapable of refuting things as it is of proving them.
You could ask why continental drift leaves the sun alone. The answer is the same: Because that's the way things are.
