Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sale - Rare Types - CambridgeEncyclopedia More - AD
Mark, Doug, All. This chicken or egg question does have an obvious answer because it sounds rather logical whether you are a believer in evolution or not. In fact this same obvious answer could be used to explain away a few million similar questions ( other odd things) if you think about it. It is a particularly good answer if you are involved in the very circular argument as evolution. Because it reinforces the argument itself but , in order to be fact in science proof is required. Otherwise it is but a great theory. I am not arguing against evolution per se. Just saying that sometimes it takes more than a good explanation to make things so. As in all circular arguments there are too many possibly wrong assumptions made to begin with so, it is easy to believe the rest. A one degree navigation error at the beginning of a journey can lead to a huge mistake. If for example for whatever reason you believe that meteorites seeded the Earth with life you might lean towards the belief that all odd things came from different meteorites. Oh and there is the god theory as well. Yet another species of a very different circular argument? Why must all scientific theories agree with previous theories? None of us was around back then so it's not like anyone can prove us wrong! Sir Ernest Rutherford said; All science is either physics or stamp collecting This chicken or egg discussion is clearly stamp collecting.

Carl wrote: Sir Ernest Rutherford said; All science is either physics or stamp collecting This chicken or egg discussion is clearly stamp collecting. Hi Carl ;-), Are your suggesting that chicken arrived on meteorites, along with its chickenfeed? If I were to adopt your form of arguing (which I am not), Perhaps chondrules are just fossilized chicken poop? Rutherford had to be a real pompous ass to say something like that --- but even if he probably was, you have misinterpreted his meaning. He would consider nearly the entire field of meteoritics stamp collecting, and I speaking for myself thoroughly enjoy stamp collecting as well as chemistry (Chemistry was his real stamp collecting target if you understood the context of the original quote). To generalize a theory like evolution as circular ignores the reality of how every domesticated animal and vegetable got on the dinner plate or farm! It is not only testable; it is applied and practical, though not gospel in a scientific sense. Evolution has been demonstrated and is robustly testable, unlike some of the other questions you try to compare with it by analogizing. You are suggesting that we are begging the question, but the analogy you use itself attempts to make an inaccurate caricature of the scientific method. The use of the Rutherford attributed quote is baloney in its fullest extent - an appeal to a non-existent authority and caricature to the extreme to the efforts of others who are using the scientific method productively. I.e., Some topologists really can tell the their coffee mug from their donut!
