Oh, and science isn't infallible either. You don't have to believe me, but I've defied all laws of physics before (unless you believe in M theory). I learned the hard way that the world is much stranger, and scarier, than I had ever imagined

If this was the killer whale that played Willy in Free Willy, that makes sense.

May I suggest you jump of a bridge and have a video camera tape it so we can all see how you defy gravity? Surely, you would be serving god by this act as it would draw an untold number of believers to him. Also, I'd like someone to start a website about the stupidest deaths to be caught on video.
"Oh, and science isn't infallible either."We don't claim it is, we claim it is the best system for determing what is true and what is not true.
"You don't have to believe me,"
Well, that's a relief.
"but I've defied all laws of physics before (unless you believe in M theory)."
Well, I don't believe you... at all..., not even a little, tiny bit.
"I learned the hard way that the world is much stranger, and scarier, than I had ever imagined"
Take your meds and the world won't seem so scary.

Now THIS echoes my own experience, and it is comments like Keiko's that have made it that way.

I've defied all laws of physics before Which ones would that be? Gravity, Ampere's law, Biot-Savart law, Coulomb's law, the first and second laws of black hole dynamics, Titius-Bode law, ideal gas laws, Bragg's law, Brewster's law, Charles' law, the law of conservation of mass-energy, the law of conservation of electric charge, the law of conservation of linear momentum, Curie's law, Dalton's law of partial pressures, Dulong-Petit law, Eotvos law of capillarity, Faraday's laws, Gauss' law, Gauss' law for magnetic fields?
If you get through that list, we can start on H to S.
I've defied all laws of physics before
Science has not been proven infallible if you counter a theory.

Oh, and science isn't infallible either. - Keiko newer science, never really by religion.
Science and religion are inherently different. Science is the collective knowledge of mankind, gathered over tens of thousands of years. Religion, on the other hand, has always symbolzed whatever that lies outside of human understanding. Science is fact, or at least the pursuit of it, religion has always been, and will always be an idealistic guesstimate of philosophers taken way too seriously by gullible simpletons.
This is where the problem comes in, isn't it? People can't be skeptical without being sarcastic. Science doesn't advance by fucking scoffing at someone, does it? It advances by seriously asking "can you reproduce it?" and then moving from there.
<< This is where the problem comes in, isn't it? People can't be skeptical without being sarcastic. Science doesn't advance by fucking scoffing at someone, does it? It advances by seriously asking "can you reproduce it?" and then moving from there.What the Hell People?: Most of the time, a simple "let's see your evidence" is a sufficient response, true. And a lot of people here usually use variations on that very response.
But when someone claims to have "defied all the laws of physics," basically proclaiming his or her monumental stupidity by claiming godlike powers, I think we're well beyond the point at which any respectful response is required.

In that thread, she claims to have walked to California from Washington in an hour.
Zadic:
I almost crapped myself.
No one with half a clue has ever claimed that science is infallible.
Sometimes, progress comes at a terrible price (one example is the Comet 1, the world's first commercial jet airliner which kept falling apart in flight simply because it was poorly designed and was victim to the very laws of physics, but I can think of a million others.)
You're right, though, I don't believe you've defied the "all laws of physics." The world would be beyond strange and scary if you have.
Big Chicken Dinner
"science isn't infallible"
"I've defied all laws of physics"
Post without a computer.
A smart phone IS a computer dipshit.
^ "A computer is required to post on an internet forum" is not a law of physics. I don't really keep up with technology, but I'm pretty sure a lot of phones allow you to post things on most sites.
I suppose technically a smartphone is a computer, although I think (and I may be wrong, like I said, I don't really keep up with technology) that when the layman uses the word "computer", they are referring specifically to a desktop or laptop. But I suppose I misinterpreted you. My apologies.
Also, just because he/she has defied all laws of physics before does not mean that he/she knows of a way to do so whenever he/she wants.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
