Prove to me how birds are dinosaurs, humans are animals, the sun is a star, and crustaceans are arthropods.
Practical advice: Read Dawkins - The Ancestor's Tale. It's a fun book that you can pick up at any chapter and read about the the tree of life, what's disputed, what's really fucking weird, what we used to believe and how and why we know what we know.Philosophical stance: because we said so. We made up categories of things so we could talk about them with other humans. But you need to understand the categories in order to talk about them. This is boring and not for midwits
>>16862805Do not ask what science can prove for you, but what you can prove for science.
>>16862805>proveThere is nothing, its all just collective freemasonic hazing. Science is a democracy.
>>16862805>birds are dinosaursThey're not really the same dinosaurs that you are thinking of. They are considered dinosaurs I guess because they literally evolved from the ancient dinosaurs. To prove it you need to go out and dig up the fossils yourself to see the evidence.>Humans are animalsBecause we classified ourselves under the biological "Kingdom" called Animalia. We made it up, but it's still based in reality though. It's just how we classified it.>The Sun is a starThat's pretty easy to prove.>Crustaceans are ArthropodsThat's another thing we just arbitrarily came up with, even though it's based on some common features shared by species lol.
>>16862805>birds taste just like dinosaurs>humans taste just like animals>lobster tastes just like a mouthful of spidersNot sure about the "sun is a star" one.
>>16862805All categories are arbitrary and only employed because they are useful."Birds are dinosaurs" is not true, because it is a useless statement.The other 3 have some degree of merit and therefore are useful and true.The actual proof relies on looking into what the categories of animals, stars and arthropods have been decided to be, and is both boring and trivial.
>>16862805>humans are animalstop kek. do modern science believe that?
>>16864395>All categories are arbitrary and only employed because they are useful.this, it's amazing how many philosophers throughout the ages have mistaken a quirk of language or word definitions or clever wordplay as some deem truth about reality
>>16866090Wait till you hear about the abuse of mathlike financefags will say x is true because the math equation said soand ignorant people will think wow since the math said so, it must be truebut "the math" is just an arbitrary model they have conjured out of thin air>>16864395>"Birds are dinosaurs" is not true, because it is a useless statement.Of course it's not uselessBirds are dinosaurs is equivalent to humans are mammalsIt is true and hints that they are the direct descendants of the great dinosaurs while every other life form is not
>>16862805Jesus came to me in a dream and told me he's fake and gay and also Jewish so you should just trust Agartha science instead
Dinosaurs are not birds, dinosaurs evolved into birds over millions of years to better suit the environment.
Okay.They are, source the dictionary>https://www.dictionary.com/I fucking love arguing semantics
