tbwp10, thought of you when I first listened to this.

I'll try to watch the rest later but protestations that the tension between religion and science has always been greatly exaggerated don't work - the officers of the Holy Inquisition really did show Galileo the instruments of torture in order to intimidate him.

TruthMuse

Looking forward to your assessment, I have to admit some of the things I had to really ponder. It was like they were speaking a different language at times. 🤫

TruthMuse

They do hit many different topics

You ever watch this yet?

It's the length of that video that's been putting me off (why are so many 90 minutes or more?) and I'm pretty busy on other things just now, so I'll see if I have spare time later on.....

TruthMuse

I want to warn you too, that those two are extremely sharp listening to each of them they are very deep in their understanding so they are informative. Talking to each other they can get or at least they were to me speaking on a level I had to ponder and look up some of the terms they used as they were common to them.

I'll bear that in mind and have a dictionary ready 😄

Thanks. Haven't had a chance to watch yet but will try to get to it. Looks interesting. Best

TruthMuse

YEAH, was worried about you.

TruthMuse

10 whole minutes wow

TruthMuse

Yes, well 10 whole minutes, not much more needs to be said than that.

If you wish, you can raise a point they've been discussing with me and find out who's mentally sharp?

No, your opinions of people were not what I wanted to hear about, and if that is all you want to talk about no need.

TruthMuse

No, you are trying to insult and belittle, if you cared about thinking about this, that would have been by looking at the ideas and discussing them which you said you have no desire to do instead you continue to mock.

I am not trying to insult and belittle. That applies to you because you refuse to take my criticism as being honest. I'm hardly the only one who thinks that whatsisname's a fool.

You probably shouldn't present such provocative material if you can't handle the consequences.

If actually you left your comments to just the topic not your degrading appraisal of the speakers and me, we could cover the points made! I would be delighted to discuss them, but your 10 minute appraisal of the speakers, are not worth any attention.

That's exactly my point. Don't you even have the brains to understand that I deliberately mentioned that I only watched the video for 10 minutes to see if you were going to react specifically against that, which you did, which proves that my previous judgement of you was correct and that you are indeed incapable of discussing anything without making it into a personal attack? You obviously haven't the faintest clue about how to debate online. All you want to do is dominate others and apply your rules to what others can say. Do you actually imagine that makes a worthwhile conversation? Why do you think this club is completely dead? 20 members with 8 admins? Why am I not an admin then?

I guess if you cannot insult, you have nothing to say.
