>They both make claims with truth-value, and while one cannot disprove the other we can argue why we should prefer one over the other.

Science does not make claims, science is impersonal. Your confusing science and religion. <important>Religion is not bound to a diety</important>. Religion is personal. It's when a person for what ever reason feels they have enough evidence to deside for themselves what they think is true.

>What about trial and error experimentation to prove the possitive assertion that the Force of Gravity causes objects to accelerate towards the planet at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (I say approximately because the actually number has more decimals I don't feel like writing out).

Key words: "Trial and Error"
Science had to go through all possible alternatives until PEOPLE (not science, science is a tool) desided that there was sufficient evidence to believe that that was a valid definition of gravity.

>And the theories are viewed not as being truth-correlative,

Excuse me for only taking half your sentance, but That's exactly what I'm trying to say

The last half of your sentace is where religion comes in. Chosing the best available theory is exactly what religion is. It's  separate from science and varies from person to person. I stress this, religion is NOT bound to a diety! Evolution is a religion as it's where a person chooses the best available theory from evidence.

Science is a tool used to prove things false, religion is a decision where someone decides what they think is true.

I'm not attacking science!

Gotta run to class, be back to dispute your definintions later!

<Fokker>Science = Billions of years + Evolution + Natural Selection

science = small ball of stuff a few cm's in diameter + explosion = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1) stars + planets orbiting these stars + asteroids and other space debri

And that doesn't even get to the part where suff crawls out of pond scum

Anyways Science and religion cannot be compaired.
The scientific method can only deal with things that aren't falsifyable. This means that science is limited and can only examin things that can be proven false. Consequently it can ONLY prove things false, It is incapable of proving things true. This is what happens when science comes across something it can't handle. Science says "If I can't prove via an experiment that their isn't a God, then by default there must not be a God."

Religion is not meant for testing things. Religion and science are not simular enough to compair each other.  Science doesn't have the tools to go into religions territory and religion doesn't have the tools to go into sciences.

>and actually, how is this with the tags? cause before bug I was solar attacker :s is that bug still there?

I think it is. Two days ago I was a player. I havn't done anything since then and gained 3 tag points.

I gave it up for fresh air and a soul.

Allow me to help

Yes with 4.4% you will nearly double after 16 ticks. The catch is that the population is calculated on a per planet basis.

Here's what I think Is going on:

Lets say right now you have a pop of 100k.

Population on any given planet will double every 16 ticks provided that planet has enough room for population to grow. Assuming no planets have reached max pop your overall pop will double. So in 16 ticks you have about 200k (199,162 to be exact).

When one or two planets reach max pop the population on that planet no longer grows. So that pop won't double. So starting with a current pop of 100k. If two planets with 10k pop each are maxed, then that means that only 80k pop are elegible for doubleing. This means that after 16 ticks your pop will go from 100k to 159,330.

I hope I explained that clearly.

Changes promised might have been about policies or duties the mods had to perform.

Anyways glad all three of you aren't leaving. With out you guys this place would be stale. Maybe Stefan will change things if you poke him with a stick or somthing.

You should try to make him post in the forum.

lol that works too

Lol. Not even a camaar could fly there b4 the EOR

I fixed the bug in version 0.5.2

Oh I get it. I didn't know the galaxy did that. Okay I'll get to work of fixing that.
