[quote]There is no difference between science and methodological naturalism (aka scientific naturalism) philisophically or practically.[/quote] Science is science. Naturalist philosophy is naturalist philosophy. The two are different. [quote]I don't think you can deny that the philosophy of science works extremely well.[/quote] I don't.

[quote]you must try and solve the problem assuming it arise from natural causes - because that's what science is.[/quote] Actually, that isn't science at all. What you are promoting is naturalist philosophy, in the name of science.

Welcome to multiplayer online :-) At this point the people on my ignore list are literally more than are not being ignored. I stick with the smaller games these days, where I have a shot in hell of having players who aren't asshoeles and who aren't on my ignore list.

[quote]Maybe if you sit there and let missle batteries kill it then sova will beat a halcyon or skirantra but personally I am not going to stupidly sit there and get hit when I can move out of range.[/quote] You can say the same thing about marza missle barrage, fox (I'm not going to stupidly sit there and take it in the face - I'll avoid it or interrupt it), but it doesn't mean it isn't the most powerful damage dealing ability in the game.

Exposure to a level of the antibiotic that is not immediate fatal to the organism will result in the expression of the "tolerance protein" the non-tolerant bacteria are killed and the culture will show a dramatic selection in favor of the allele.

[quote]Four steps: ... Given those four premises, Evolution is then inevitable.[/quote] LOL. I think you oversimplified it just a tad.

But then you also have to bow out of the debate, and sit on the sidelines. [quote]Who or what created the creator?[/quote] The same question can be aske

[quote]I'm really not sure about what's to be done with Missile Barrage. It's so easily countered now[/quote] If you are talking buff, I don't think anything should be done with missle barrage. You say it's easily countered now, but really very little changed except adding capabilities to counter it that weren't there before (disruptive strikes, etc). This was desperately needed. [quote]Though I did some tests a while ago, and a Missile Barrage loses its power arou

[quote]You dont believe in science?[/quote] Yes I believe in science, and never said otherwise. The problem is, people in their "arguments" conflate science with what they are espousing, or what the so-called "scientific" community espouses. The two are not the same. Science is the scientific method. That'

If "personal viewpoint" means "didn't come from the bible" and "didn't come from evolutionist brainwashing," then I guess I have my own personal viewpoint. It would be nice if more people had the capacity for such.

It actually does steal the negative income, making the target planet less "in the red." In other words, it helps the enemy who is being embargoed. I guess this is unintentional, therefore a bug.

[quote]If we were talking about ten drone hosts (30 squads, about the same cost as two caps, all things considered) then the Kol would on average be dealing triple the damage. The point is that the Kol just gets better and better as more strike craft get fielded.[/quote] It might get better as far as dealing more total damage, but that damage is spread over all the strikecraft. It will be the exact same effect as my two kols hitting the bombers with flak burst in my story above
