Don't feel bad, sky scrapers aren't designed by 17 year old's, you have plenty of time to contribute something.

Haha, thank you. But I saw this video about the youngest aero-something engineer, and he was a Pakistani, and he was like 15 when he started designing airplanes for the army. Cool huh?

Well I'm not saying the argument in concern is a fully grown T-Rex in your room. XD. Not all dinosaurs are extinct, go to the zoo and see the Crocs, apparently they've hardly changed since millions of years ago. If the argument was plausible, say it's explained to you that there's a newly discovered remote Island in which some species of dinosaur was found alive then for some reason placed behind the random wall in front of you, you can then hear strange growls unlike anything you've heard before, would you not even slightly entertain the thought? Although in this case there would probably be a few alternate explanations. I'd probably think I was on some TV prank show.

Yeah that's pretty cool, I'm always amazing at child genius. They make me feel inferior too.

@zooby,

OHHH!!! I thought z10 meant that an extinct dinosaur was behind the wall. Pshh, if it was a crocodile or something, then it doesn't matter. Heck, I probably would believe them cuz I'm gullible.

But if the following is true:

Quote
1)There is no contradictory evidence
2)All the evidence for a dinosaur being there cannot be explained by alternate arguments.
3)There is variety of evidence for a dinosaur behind the wall.

then wouldn't that mean that there IS a "dinosaur" (I don't count crocs as dinos) behind the wall? :/ Then a person would be dumb to deny it, right? (No offence if anybody was thinking of denying it.) Plus, why WOULD anybody deny it then? :/

I'm not fully certain what z10 meant either, btw I didn't mean the thing behind the wall has to be a crocodile, because that is far more plausible than a T-Rex.

It doesn't mean it IS true. There could be new evidence that comes along and contradicts everything, but pragmatically it would be OK IMO to believe it if all 3 conditions hold.

Well, as long as it's not extinct, ANYTHING is more plausible than a T-rex.

Wouldn't waiting on that evidence, which may never come, be weird though? How else do you determine if something you can't see is real, unless it fulfills the conditions you listed? :/

This is really messing with my mind....

Mine too. I guess we're digressing from the main topic of your thread here. I'm still undecided on the question you posed, I guess it belongs to the Anti-realist Vs. Realist philosophical debate which makes my head hurt.

OH, this is philosophy? No wonder it doesn't make any sense!!! Dumb subject.

Thanks for all your help! Have a nice day!! Also, have a Kit Kat:
