"its statistics, because i can't predict its endings with certainty"

Why isnt physics a science? Because you can't say a 10k drop will kill for certain

yes <- to Cytos

also
"medicine is statistics, not science"

paraphrasing

Why aren't physics or chemistry science? Because as far as we're aware there exists inherent randomization within the universe

those are sciences

On what basis?

you are dismissing the randomness of quantum again, which you can not predict what the spin will be

the fact you can reliably predict the outcome when you set detailed parameters

you can not on medicine

When you set detailed parameters you can

But the real world is not known, detailed parameters

okay just to set thigns straight

when talking about randomness and predictability in science

I want you to take a gun to a range and fire 10 shots with 0 spread in your groupings. Just use physics m8

If you can't do it, it's not a science

on the contrary, if you can't do it, you can set it as a basis for science that it can't be done (barring the infinite numbers argument)

the term "random" is jsut the coloquial term for stochasticy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic

which in essence means randomness but not as randomness is colloquially understood

You can't fire 10 shots on target exactly in a vacuum using a machine because you couldnt do it IRL in your meat body?

meat machines on mars

Sigh I think i made a mistake coming here...i forgot that however open minded this place is still slanted toward secular naturalism...so all that happened is that I wasted everyone's time sounding as far as they are concerned a complete idiot

Sorry

oof

you can do it on target in a vacuum in zero g

(true zero g)

you want a complete spread of all beliefs for you to want to be somewhere?

thats gay

secular naturalism

What's wrong with that?

you will never get that

I didn't realize I was a secular naturalist

nah i think its a "you don't agree with me so i'm leaving" thing Cytos

Right and that doesn't change the fact that you're only going to get a % success rate in a real world scenario

......
...

I mean, you're absolutely welcome here if you want to stay.

The fact that you're calling evidence a form of bias doesn't reflect well tbh

Like we can discuss how that study isn't proof at all

I can find middle ground
