ftfy....were one of the belligerent interlocutors who kept insisting to me that anything that isn't testable is never, ever allowed in the field of science.

If it isn't testable, it is not a theory of science.

You could have just accepted that I was correct.

You aren't.

Instead, it was your fault (along w/your friends ITN and Fredy Figbottom) that I even had to bring up minutia like string theory,

String theory is not a theory of science. Religion is not science.

the Copenhagen Interpretation, NielsBohr, Schrodingers Cat.

Nothing to do with string theory. Pivot fallacy, Buzzword fallacies. Schrodinger's cat is not a theory of science. It has nothing to do with the Bohr model either.

ftfy, If you, and your friends Fredy Figbottom and ITN had either admitted I was correct, or just kept your mouth shut, you would have never seen me bring up string theory and the Copenhagen Interpretation.

It's entirely your fault that scientific minutia was brought up in this thread. And it's directly the result of scientific illiterates relentlessly insisting that anything and everything that isn't testable is never, ever allowed in the scientific endeavor.

Yes, in part due to 1960s and 1970s Civil Rights laws. I think before that, Jews, Catholics, Muslims could be highly discriminated against in employment.

Xenophobia, in part, is a survival trait.

IMO, all human beings are born with a bias against "the different". That doesn't make it okay, just understandable.

How does that disagree with my post?

Agreed bias about skin pigment is silly.

You can't blame your problem on anybody else, Cyborg.

Science is not an endeavor.

A theory of science must be falsifiable. That means it MUST be testable.

you had to show off. You ALWAYS show off on here! :cuss:

ftfy...It's entirely your fault I even had to bring up corroborating scientific minutia.

You could have just accepted I was correct in stating that the scientific endeavor includes untestable scientific ideas, insights, thought experiments, philosophical interpretations.

We have tribal instincts, but don't you think you could put three year old Israeli and Palestinian children together in the same room, and they would play together as if nothing was wrong?

Yes. A daycare is a great lab; bring in a bunch of toddlers who don't know each other and put them in a room full of playthings to see how they interact. :)
