What I rather meant was, is it unthinkable to you that a rational person could be mistaken, that two rational persons could come to opposite conclusions? Or that circumstances, such as insufficient knowledge of the subject at hand, could make a rational person make an erroneous conclusion?
-No, though an honestly mistaken person could be irrational it does not follow that a rational person could not be honestly mistaken. But then again, I have not argued against that either. |

Actually, I think that most of the time people are honestly mistaken, it's not because they're irrational. That statement seems to be actually rather irrational when I think about it... but that just creates all sorts of time warps and wormholes doesn't it? 
-In case you didn't read my last post; I'm not saying that if you're mistaken then you're irrational. Neither am I saying that if you're rational then you're never mistaken, etc. What I'm saying is that this single individual is irrational because of his inability to correctly judge evidence due to personal bias.
Anyway, anyone care to discuss his arguments (global warming, not ID) or are we just going to keep taking cheap shots at his credibility?
-Pick someone else, if his data and conclusions are correct then they will likely be reiterated by everyone else. |

| Well, y'all are debating rationality versus irrationality, which way is up, which is down. Down is up, and up is down, left is right and right is left. I just got my PhD, so that is supposed to confer upon me great wisdom, but honestly, y'all are just making my head hurt with all that talk!  |
