Well I don't get into about correct or incorrect use of terms. Correct or incorrect based on what?
Official consensus, the majority, the lexiconographers.
Just like here in this topic I'm starting to get conflict over the word "theory". But all I'm doing is just getting understanding of what individuals are saying and how the individual uses the term so that we can communicate effectively and understand each other.
That's what it is at the end of the day. We communicate in a language we can understand, otherwise there's no sense in communicating.

To baggins: Don't you agree with the point that "theory" is another word for fact?

From what I'm understanding and being told is that the word theory is another word for fact .
So this is not just on the subject of science alone.
Now people may use the term however they use it.

Many of you on this site have shown to lack understanding of the scriptures though.
For something so simple, as the book teaches how can I tell you spiritual things and you don't get earthly things.

No I'm not. I apparently am the only one so far from what I've seen thinks outside the box. No limitations on this side of the realm baby.

Now that we're all here...
I have a number of questions.
We'll start off with these three .
So the "theory"of evolution is not very well known or is it just rejected?
Do religions just reject this "fact" or are religious folks just ignorant to it?
The "theory" (fact) of water being wet is pretty widely accepted. But this "fact" of evolution is not, why?
When you talk about science, does that involve empiricism?
Please answer yes or no .
Please be as concise and precise as possible.

So from what you're saying the word "theory" is just a synonym for the word fact. It's just another word for fact.
Is that it?

Anything else that is not about evolution that is called theory is actually a theory and not fact.

So much for straightforward.
So the theory of evolution is the same as saying the fact of evolution.
Is that it?
But everything outside of that conveniently is not a fact when it's called a theory.

None. When you think about what the truth is, you either think it to say what is true or false or you don't.

"Here, let’s try another example. Tell me whether the following sentence is True or False:
“This sentence is false” "
False.
"Do you see the problem here?"
No no problem for me at least, I'm direct I said.
Even when you try to make a false equivocation I can demonstrate an example of being direct as possible.
No problem. Just being direct. If your answer was "neither", I didn't see you say that. If you didn't say it was because you weren't being direct. Directly saying something is saying the exact words to express want you were conveying indirectly because obviously the words " neither yes or no " I would of read.
If you said those exact words , let me know where I missed them, thanks.

My obliged for your invitation.
A straightforward question to start this off.
What makes the theory of evolution a theory?

This is why you're filibustering instead of answering the question with a yes or no. If you don't know just be direct with that at least. This is what I was trying to teach somebody else on here.

Remember what I said about the cross wiring that affects it being a "procreational" drive.
The disconnect here with the homosexuals and you is that the drive is there. That's the urge.
.
But is the "procreational" part attached to that?
Is that urge with a homosexual to be satisfied with the same sex or opposite ?

@Double_R
I say I don't know like you could say you don't know or can't answer yes or no . Even when you say both you're still answering with those two applicable answers .
It's more direct than dancing around the question with all these other things I wasn't asking. I was direct in saying I'm unable to answer it. I didn't speak around the issue, didn't try to explain something that wasn't directly asked .
If I did know the answer, I would of just said yes or no or directly say I can't answer yes or no but I can answer yes and no. If you'd request an explanation, I'd give it but I want to be direct up front .
I understand that socially people tend to be loose with answering questions unlike a courtroom so people tend to just respond whatever how they wish or think not technically answering, just responding. Got to refocus on being direct as possible.
So I ask people for a direct yes or a no. I would give a direct yes or no when you ask me.

If you were to ask me how do I know the sky is blue?
I say through my visual sense I observe the heavens looking up to witness it. If I tell you "oh I use critical thinking skills", that's not telling anything.
That's why you haven't elaborated passed that in the practical sense I just gave.
You folks got to chill on playing the games, get sober and learn something on here.

Yes or no.

@Double_R
"No, I can’t say yes, because the question is ill informed. Some atheists hold this belief, some atheists do not. Therefore “Yes” is not the correct answer to your question, and neither is “No”."
Ok well say "both" yes and no. All you had to say from jump my friend instead of going through all this.
"Do you understand? If you do not, please proceed and answer my question so you can enlighten us as to what we’re missing."
I'm unable to answer your question and know I'm correct about it.
I don't know. I'd have to talk to every individual that says he or she is in support of no abortion.
Maybe after the talk people will realize they're not truly pro life.
It's suppose to be the same across the board right.
Just like atheists that believe no gods exists are the same across the board. This is what distinguishes them from theists that don't believe no gods exist.
You're saying yes and no. Atheists also do believe gods exists so whatever definition you're using would be the same as theism so I advise you to definitely be clear on this subject because it'll spread confusion.
Alrighty.

"What is the purpose of sexuality?"
According to the body , sexual reproduction. According to social construction as you mentioned, depends on the social parameters in any given society really.
Sexuality and "procreational drive" are distinct. So when you say "procreational drive" and homosexuality, the two don't agree. A homosexual doesn't have a desire or urge to sexually reproduce. At least not in the facet of physical attraction. There's a desire to reach sexual climax. But this is where the cross wiring affects the so called procreational drive they would have if the desire was to climax with the opposite sex.
"And why do we make such a song and dance about it?"
Music is about expression. Man expresses desires which would include sexual among other things.

What you're pointing to is change.
But the question is, did something change into something else that eventually become a man or has was man created in isolation?

I realize that. I ask how to solve the issue of dysphoria and most folks won't bother to give any ideas most likely just because they feel like there's no sincerity in the question or topic.
Can't help how one subjectively feels.
Whether you're against transgenderism or not, you can still be there to help.
Let that resonate debateart.
