That was really good James and a great take on it but that poor kid at the end crying. I felt really sad for him. Iām glad the marshmallow cheered him up.

Science has proved to be wrong frequently over the years - Iām not necessarily saying whether I think itās right or wrong on this point (about what Bruce Lipton said) but thereās been a lot of science done over the years that have employed dodgy methodologies and have become accepted as fact

Science is not knowledge or āfactā.
It is the attempt to acquire knowledge using reproducible tests.
Only science can prove something is right or wrong.
Most of what we believe to be ātrueā today, will be replaced by better models in the future.

Magic isnāt supposed to be mean and make little kids cry! Also, I wonder how they did that??
Who knew marshmallows could cause such a discussion? Some very interesting comments / references, Iāll check some of them out. After I finish my marshmallows

This is the real beauty of science!
Which is why, in areas I have no expertise I tend to side with the generally accepted scientific view.
I also keep in my that scientific theories range from being proven true, to needs more study, to disproven.

The point that I was making is that thereās a lot of science that is little more than another system of belief but as in this conversation it was being used as a means of discrediting something else even though science itself has repeatedly been shown as less than reliable. The question was around the influence of genes on who we are; thereās no science experiment that can prove that, thereās too many variables

I fully agree that scientists may never be able to understand why people do what they do.
