[OT] Plato's Pub and Philosophical Society

[Suicide Junkie]

Any theory is better than no theory: 1)No, it's not; a false theory would not be better than a true one; 2)I don't see "no theory" being advocated.

Did you really mean to type that?
Of course a true theory is better than a false one!
However, you are not going to find absolute truth in this life.

- "No theory" does squat by definition.
- "No theory" is not being advocated because we have something BETTER.

- Newton's laws are false. They explain a bunch of things with varying degrees of accuracy. They are better than the previous theories. They are vastly better than no theory.

- Evolution is false. It explains a bunch of things with varying degrees of accuracy. It works better than the previous ideas in the area, and is easily better than no theory.

What I'm trying to say is:
a) Absolute truth is not nessesary.
b) Rome was not built in a day. Better and better theories have and will continue to be thought up and replace the old.
