New Science Standards in Florida

This is a corollary of your, "If you were being honest..." argument. When neither side recognizes the inherent fallacy in such arguments then you get exchanges like this:

• "You're not being honest." "No, you're not being honest."
  ​
• "You're not a true Christian." "No, you're the one who's not a true Christian."
  ​
• "You're just finding reasons for what you want to believe anyway." "No, it's you who's seeking post facto confirmation."

Pretty pointless.Rather than accusing the other side of foibles to which you, also being of the human race, are equally vulnerable, you might consider exploring the principles that should underlie the establishment of science standards for public schools. It might not only be productive, it would even be on-topic! Please, no replies.

Hi Randman,90% of my time on the site these days is spent posting requests that you stay on topic and avoid making discussion personal. In my last post to you in this thread (msg=-14) I said this: And this is your next post in the thread: I've been sincerely hoping that you'd begin at some point to start following my requests, but it seems that is not going to come to pass. Your last suspension was for 2 days, so this one is for 3 days.What I want to encourage here at EvC Forum is evidence, argument, rebuttal, evidence, argument, rebuttal, over and over again.I also want to spend less time making moderator requests that you ignore, so from now on as far as you're concerned I'll no longer waste time making several requests before taking action.
