Dark Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Mikhail obviously makes a great point, and his point is what I was referring to when I stated: [i]Did you honestly think I didn't have a smart-ass comment to make about this?[/i] I find it quite odd that you are extremely religious, extremely conservative in your political beliefs, and you also have very little knowledge of the sciences. Am I implying that you are religious because of this lack of knowledge. But if you think about it, you fit the stereotypical "religious person refusing to accept facts", and your posts on YCM are quite evident of that stereotype. no offense, love <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Science textbooks in America are awful. They are biased and often exclude Darwin's work. As your parents (or a hired tutor, perhaps) probably home-school you, they have complete control over what you learn and what you don't. Maybe they did teach you evolution, but if they did they probably did so in inverted commas. I know what it is like, I went to a Catholic Primary School and a Catholic Secondary School. They taught evolution with a pinch of salt, they explained that it is still a [i]theory[/i], still entirely [i]unproven[/i], and that there is [i]lots of evidence[/i] against it. They spent about five minutes discussing it before doing two whole lessons on "Intelligent Design" (i.e. Religion masquerading as Science, or Pseudoscience). That was in Secondary School. When I was little, the class teachers told my tiny, pliable little mind that God created all creatures great and small in seven days, that Adam and Eve were the first humans and that we were descended from them (in Secondary School, my Religious Studies teacher [an ex-nun] told me that Adam and Eve were metaphorical representations of the Tribes of Israel, a "theological truth", so there was even conflict between teachings). One child in my class asked the famous "Who did Cain and Abel have sex with to make more humans?" question. He was sent out of the room and punished for disobedience. I fervently believed this for years of my life until I decided to actually read Darwin, to read the Bible, to look up Intelligent Design and Creationism and all that jazz. That's a tangent, but the point is that your religious parents used home-schooling to indoctrinate you to their beliefs. They don't allow you to weigh out the options, to look at the facts of both points, to understand the meaning of Science and the meaning of Fairy Tales.

[/quote] How kind of you to make assumptions about my parents based on what you've learned about religion from growing up Catholic. Just because you were not given a choice doesn't mean I wasn't. I find it odd that you think it's appalling when parents tell their kids that "X = Y" or whatever, but when you tell me that "X = Z" it's totally fine. I find it usually helps to think critically, to think from an outside perspective no matter how much you are sure of what you believe. Also, not that I expect you to believe me, but my father constantly tells me to think for myself and to not go along with something just because he does. And just to clear up any misconceptions, he's actually a Democrat. My point is, you're pretty much telling me that all children should be taught that theism/deism is bad and should be dismissed as nonsense, which hardly any different than the opposite. Also, science isn't limited to whether evolution happened exactly as Darwin described or not. A good majority of it is how the world works right now, which usually doesn't differ between belief systems. What my biology text book taught was probably based on facts for the most part, (how the heart works, ect). What I meant in my original post was that science is something that needs more than just a textbook, unlike math, so it's a weak point of mine. I never had access to a proper lab or tools for experiments. That being said, there were a few absolutely cringe-inducing paragraphs about abortion in my health text book. But most importantly, science bores me. I enjoy math and English a good deal more. I fail to see what's inherently wrong with that. There is one more thing I forgot. I don't actually like the fact that I was homeschooled, I would have preferred to go to a Public School for at the very least my High-school years. In fact, I think it's stupid to homeschool past Elementary unless the one teaching is a professional teacher and you have access to the proper resources. It's like this. In the early grades, the public education system does a horrendous job (in America anyway.) One-on-one time with a child can give them a huge head-start academically. In the later years of school, a homechool education will be lacking however, so it's best to go with an actual school once the child is in Middle/High School. PS: Although you're making some disturbing assumptions about me and my life, you seem to at least be more polite and well-spoken the Dark. Good job!

[/quote] You can neutralize in either direction, but scientists prefer neutralizing acids with bases. Titration stops when the solution turns light pink, meaning you start out with an acid and you pour base until it equals out. If you titrated the other way, you'd be looking for the color to vanish, which imo is a lot harder to do. No matter which way you pour, they are still going to neutralize. Not to mention that both acids and bases can be caustic, so it honestly doesn't matter if you consider the "splash" effect.
