AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the nature of unrepeatable events in science and history. It argues that unrepeatable events, like the JFK assassination or events from 6 BC, fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry, as they cannot be tested or replicated. However, if an event has a tendency to repeat, it can be understood scientifically, as demonstrated by established laws like F=ma and principles of gravity. The conversation also critiques the historical significance of events from 6 BC, suggesting that the narratives surrounding them are speculative rather than factual, akin to conspiracy theories. Additionally, it questions the classification of non-repeatable events as unscientific, citing ongoing studies of the Big Bang as an example of how such events can still be explored within a scientific framework.

Of course isn't. Unrepeatable events are as much away from science than any other unrepeating event. But if it has a tendency to repeat sooner, than scientists can understand it (F=ma, gravity, bending of light, etc.). Historians will have a ball with events that cannot possibly be repeated (ex. JFK assassination, 6BC, etc).

There's no scientific OR historical evidence that anything remakable happened in 6BC (at least not in Gallili). There's a storybook about it, two in fact, and a whole lot of speculation by interested parties, but that doesn't amount to history, it's more like a conspiracy theory!
 
sorry, but, what genesis are you talking about?
 
I'm as lost as you are.

And when has non-repeatable events become unscientific? Last I heard, people are still studying the big bang.
 
Sorry dude, can't tell what you're trying to say here. Gotta try again.
