Yes it is. For example if I say "Ghosts contributions are low on content, often belittling and rarely in the spirit of the OP" , then that is not a judgment. It is fact.

You do understand what the word ‘estimate’ means right?
How do you prove that the conditions we observe today for example the rate of expansion of the universe has always been the same in the past?
It is an assumption that cannot be proven.
Hence it is not an exact science.
In fact, if the laws of nature would change over time, that would leave an empirical signature. To date, no such signatures have been found.

At the time, I thought it a little strange, but it was one quote. In no way is this one quote "the core of his religion". If it was, I would have been one of the first to call BS on it. But it's not. Sonship is sincere in his Christianity. He and I have locked horns a couple of times, but even though we disagree, I consider him a man of God. His fait ...[text shortened]... And now, if you'll excuse me, FMF, I do have better things to do than continue to entertain you.

I recommend re-evaluating your position.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI never claimed it was - just that your focus on the notion of an "estimate" is misplaced.
