So it's meaningless.

Thought so.


Correct. If you don't complete the sentence, the result is your failure
to comprehend.

"I was just pointing out the oxymoron of the typical scientific theory
and those who believe in them."

In the interest of moving this along, I will guess at your fuzzy
parsing and peculiar definition of "oxymoron", and assume you are making
a coy attempt to equate scientific conviction with religious faith.

Is that about it?

Go ahead and use a dictionary and thesaurus if you need to; it's not
cheating.


Since you brought it up, I looked on dictionary.com :

con·vic·tion –noun 1. a fixed or firm belief.

faith -noun 1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness
of a person, idea, or thing.


Perhaps you meant, "scientific faith and religious conviction."

No. I am attempting to entice you into making a definitive statement
explaining what your point is.

Up to now, you've provided word salad and evasions.

It seems you realize you don't know what you're talking about WRT science and
belief. Looks like you're resorting to being coy so you won't be caught out.

But I could be wrong. Perhaps you really do have a cogent idea discuss.
Seems unlikely, but why don't you try again?

Take your time. I can wait.

For your benefit, I posted a more detailed explanation of my opinion in
another post.
