What is there to prove about a story anyways? Who cares if its true or not, the bible was intended to be moralising, nowhere near a real story.

Hehe Lord Kelvin had similar thoughts at first, but it must be something right, fill a balloon up and define wind. Well he needed a few years to figure out what it was exactly but at least air gives us an indication, some proof to our eyes to know that it is there. That is as far as classic scientists will go.

But i get your point, at a certain scientific level philosophy comes in together with theories, the atomic models are completely based on probabilities trying to explain a certain chemical behaviour. As soon as the model seemed incapable of explaining new behaviour, we invented a new model, so all chemical behaviour could be explained with that model. Scientists were like, "see...now everything fits", everything we see can be explained with the same model.

It goes beyond that, now the new Einsteins are inventing theories to prove theories about things we can't even see or remotely understand (time space paradox), trying to answer questions like "what is time and why does it behave the way it does?" (Apparently time goes forward because our universe expands :s).

In the end it is very similar to myths or stories in which mankind tries to comprehend things that are very hard to understand. Uber classic "creation of the world" story.

But however, for dragons, its very simple.

[size=2]PICS OR IT DOESNT EXIST OR IT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO OUR LIVES AT ALL!

That is nowhere NEAR scientific proof, even i can write that on a website. Idiots.

Thanks for your attention,

In our society convincing people requires reasonable proof with existential import; proof based on observation of the world. This is called evidence. All of the scientific theories have evidence to support them. But the idea of a theory, as Calimero mentioned, is a model that best fits gathered evidence, or behaviors. "Bests fits" means that it is not 100% correct, and thus is wrong.

So, tell me: How can we have all of this evidence for scientific theories and have them still be wrong, yet people come about with no evidence for mythology and claim it's truth?
