A science quiz ...

[ericcoleman]

Since there seems to be a little doubt now, I thought I would ask my friends. What do you think of this ???

i don't think that, "because that's how i learned it" isn't a good enough reason for science to deny new discoveries.

if they want to set up arbitrary rules and let those be the guidelines for how they label celestial bodies, then that's great. but let's not just set up arbitrary guidelines and then arbitrarily not follow them. that's just silly. scientists are allowed to be silly, but they can't set up 6th grade science students for failure because they don't want to come to a consensus. that's rude.

ARG!!! i corrected myself wrong!! i meant that the argument, "because that's how i learned it" is NOT a good one.
