Well that is well said and very well put Jonathan.
I would think that these old guys in this newsgroup would be bit opened
minded. but alas they are not. but take heart not all are like these old
geezers.
I know that there are fossils on mars and I don't have to go there to prove
it. One can SEE if they have EYES to SEE with. Most scientists are STUCK in
one or two DISCIPLINES... not venturing out of the mold they PUT themselves
in. Thinking they are right when in fact they are not . seems sad that many
scientist do this.... I would advocate a multi discipline in the field of
space science if we are to continue with the bots and images and
spectrometers.
------------------------------------------------------------
to the old geezers :
I would like to take note here....one when giving a philosophical thought
use one of your own. using Plato and such is so lame like you don't have a
mind to come up with something of your own. Now when Jonathan presented you
with a thought that is based on what he has been writing about is one thing
to but to combat it with another is pretty lame. and you are all what ?
GEOLOGISTS? or wanna be's ?
If you are GEOLOGIST then you need to go back to school and learn to play
nice. if not then you need to go to school to learn to play nice. either way
your not playing nice.
Quote from Christopher James Huff :
It removes ego. The mind is still required for understanding present
knowledge, conceiving new possibilities, and devising tests to verify
those possibilities. The scientific method merely provides a mechanism
for weeding out the bad models of reality.
Aristotle believed truth could be found by simply
thinking about it, by "training our eyes and minds". It wasn't until
scientists like Galileo started measuring and testing things that we
figured out how things really worked.

well i think it takes TWO ..
SEEING is the FIRST PART of Discovery as everyone knows.
Jonathan these old guys have only ego left. they don't have much else.
oh yeah wanted to let George know ............Sir Charles is Right. .
