And to simplify the arguments we have been having, an example of why this matters as opposed to say how global skepticism seems to be of little consequence, is because if something were to alter the order in which we percieved events our idea of time would not model the sequence of events taking place in the universe.
Events occur in natural sequence whether we are there to perceive them or not. What could possibly alter the order? a god?

If god existed then science would be meaningless

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
