The liberals won't read it.

I suffered reading it. But I got the point.

“A hypothesis that cannot be falsified by empirical observations, is not science.”

This is absolutely correct. I’m sorry so many people do not understand this very simple principle.

Just to keep the knee-jerk anti-religious from making fools of themselves, I am an atheist.

The falsifiable principle is simply this—any hypothesis for which there is no possible test that can prove it wrong, if it is, cannot be a valid hypothesis, because just anything can be put over on the basis of, “well you cannot prove it wrong.”

Based on that very obvious principle all of the following are NOT sciences—evolution, psychology, all of environmentalism, and cosmology.

All of these are useless intellectual pursuits except for academics, leftists, and collectivist who use all these pseudo-sciences to deceive the gullible and put over the totalitarian agendas.
