The Blind Guess Thread

When did the verifiable facts of evolution become a blind guess?

I read the OP's response to your question...and question that response. I expect that you will ask the name of the person who supposedly "so stated" that. I certainly encourage you to do so, because I have never seen anyone in A2K question any verifiable facts...of evolution or anything else.

And to suppose that anyone posting here is not allowed to disagree with anyone else's posts...is an absurdity.

Frankly it sounds to me as though the OP is dealing with frustration in a childish way.

Hiya & higher Frank.

I think Edgar was just indicating that he didn't want to participate in a polemic discussion in a lighthearted thread whilst mocking naysayers, political correctness and chat rules.

The thread title and concept (which I'm pretty sure Edgar has posted on before) starts like an homage to your views on blind guesses about certain beliefs before digressing to a range of other dangerous activities like eating.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, I shall proceed with my blind guesses.

Is it wrong to choke a person for three or more minutes? Your blind guess is as good as mine.

Edgar is just "doing his thing"...and I am having as much fun with what he is doing as possible.

I maintain that anyone asserting "At least one god exists" is merely expressing a blind guess about the REALITY. I also maintain that anyone asserting "No gods exist" is also merely expressing a blind guess about the REALITY.

That latter part seems to bother him so much that he apparently wants to pretend that I am actually saying that almost anything and everything is a blind guess.

I am not doing that at all.

He also apparently wants to pretend that he does not pay attention to what I write anymore.

That is a large part of the fun I am enjoying.

@Frank Apisa,

I guess I'm agnostic about Edgar's motifs and motives.

Evidence is usually a reasonable basis on which to base beliefs about what is true or false.

Vegetable sushi sounds innocuous, sashimi more inoculate.

It may be myopic to not see how telescopes are a blind guess.

It's my blind guess that if people follow me around on certain threads just for the sake of disrupting my right to be an atheist I have a right to make a joke of their tag lines.

Who doesn't love two old blokes with the loves off.

Await the bait with bated breath, especially any attempt to refute that atheism, rather than being a blind guess, is simply an understanding that without any shred of evidence whatsoever for supernatural creation logic predicates disbelief.

Nac, I am not talking about asserting, "There is no logical, scientific, or mathematical reason for 'believing' that a GOD exists." I agree wholeheartedly that there IS NO logical, scientific, or mathematical reason for 'believing' that a GOD exists. I assert that myself.

Nor am I suggesting that there is anything wrong with making the blind guess that no gods exist.

I am talking about people who assert, as Edgar has done, "There are no gods." It is my contention that doing so is as much a blind guess about the REALITY (either there is at least one or there are none)...as is the assertion, "There is at least one god."

If you would like to challenge what I am saying there, please do so. I would love to discuss it with you...and we can do so in a reasonable, cordial way.

Do whistleblowers always commit suicide or is that just a misconception? Could that be their way of apologizing for stirring up trouble?

Why did they do this? They could have named it Schenectady.

After seeing a list of Biden pardons my blind guess is as to whether it was actually he who made the list or his advisers.

I have another blind guess that people who put on their shoes shoe-shoe-sock-sock-tie-tie are heading straight to hell when they die. It should be shoe-sock-tie-shoe-sock-tie.

I think people who put on their shoes before they put on their socks...should consider psychiatric treatment.

Cops are strike breaking under Biden’s watch. Where is the so called most pro union president right now? My wild guess is that the Republicans have him tied up in the basement.

And always remember: Pants first then shoes.

@edgarblythe,

I tried several times putting on my shoes first and then my jeans, and it's tragic. Your feet get stuck, and you stumble around like you've been hogtied, and then you eventually just fall flopping around on the floor, helpless. I imagine it's not a pretty sight.

I'm already dressed for the day. Remind me later?

I think we all tried it a time or two. It's like putting on your jacket with a tennis ball in your hand.

@edgarblythe,

Visions of commando coluber inspired me to try and find images of underwear on the outside.

It took me the best part of an hour to escape the browser with only a code violation and a half blind guess.

Aren't there pictures of Madonna doing that?
