Scientific Inquiry Process
Conjecture: An initial idea or guess, often based on limited information or observation.
Hypothesis Formation: Here, a more structured, testable prediction or explanation is developed.
Experimentation and Data Collection: This phase involves gathering empirical evidence to test the hypothesis.
Analysis: Scientists analyze the data to see if it supports or refutes the hypothesis.
Theory Development: A theory is formed when a hypothesis is consistently supported by a large body of evidence. It's a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of the natural world.
Further Testing and Refinement: Theories are not static; they are continuously tested and refined with new data and insights.
Debate and Peer Review: The scientific community critically reviews and debates findings, an essential step for validating results.
Consensus: Over time, a consensus may form if a theory withstands extensive testing and scrutiny. However, consensus is not absolute; it's based on the current best understanding.

Some people say that TO THEM, the US government's flag represents freedom. Others say that to them it represents child molestation. I think both are wrong. I say that the flag "belongs" to the US Government and these people should show some respect and come up with their own flag/symbol!

Excellent Propaganda Production - Hats Off to StoryCorps!
This political action group performs excellent sharing of "woke" ideals and fools those opposed to their ideals to be the mouthpieces! Brilliant! Well done!

Appeal to Faith can be found in Bo Bennett’s excellent book (https://amzn.to/3y0kbmP) on page 44 https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_faith
Logical fallacies are important building blocks for a thinking person. I have come to conclude that rather than telling everyone “what” I think, if I simply help others improve “how” they think, we might all wind up in a pretty close place in our worldviews.
A great book about logic is here: https://amzn.to/3y0kbmP
