Re: A Question for the Board

Reading through many of the posts here, it is clear that many of you
are very intelligent and well-schooled in varying areas of scientific
discipline. I have something to say, and something to ask, and each
will no doubt cause a certain amount of disagreement. What I propose
is for everyone to limit their responses, and rebuttals, to one
paragraph of a few lines or less. Here's why.

Often, forum threads get everyone lost because posts take hours to read
and comprehend. I find myself getting dry, red eyes just trying to read
the first of 27 pages of some threads (be honest, you've been there!).

Be more selective in the threads you read, it is that simple.


So here it is:

We are not that intelligent. As human beings we are just not smart
enough to answer many of life's toughest questions.

Do not judge others by your own intelligence. Plus, one person may not
be able to to find out everything, but when one starts investigating
science, one does not start out fresh, he learns what has been learned
before, and builds upon that. Or as Isaac Newton said, he stood on the
shoulders of giants.
Each and every scientist does not need to know each and every data point,
the knowledge can be stored and accessed as needed or desired. And the
fields of science are divided into small parts devoted to the study of
small areas. That makes the study and learning process advance in all areas
at the same time. While no single person has the current knowledge of all
areas, many people have the knowledge of many areas. So mankind does
advance and gain knowledge.

Plus, so many of the so called "lifes greatest mysteries" are nothing
more than bs enshrouded in excessive verbiage. Mostly bad philosophical
points made by bad philosophers with way too much time on their hands.
