    Scientist retract 50 year old paper

    Hallucination is not seeing. If you hallucinate that you see a unicorn, you are not seeing a unicorn. Your brain cells are misfiring making you think that you see a unicorn. The statement "I see a unicorn" is untrue. The statement "I am hallucinating" is true. But that is beyond your...

    Scientist retract 50 year old paper

    It's evident that you're quite confused. According to your logic (or lack of), the statement "I see a unicorn" is also the truth, whether or not there is a "real" unicorn. On second thought, that's an excellent way to prove that unicorns are indeed real! :D

    Interesting argument. So what if there is a retraction of a scientific paper on global warming? My bet is that you will say "scientist is wrong on global warming" and use the retraction to prove it. This is what separates your "faith" and real science. You will never issue a retraction no...
