What planet has intelligent life?
As of current scientific understanding, Earth is the only planet known to have intelligent life forms. While there is ongoing research and exploration for signs of extraterrestrial life, no conclusive evidence has been found to confirm the existence of intelligent life on any other planet in our solar system or beyond.
Where does the moon point toward?
The moon does not point towards a specific location. Its position in the night sky changes constantly as it orbits around the Earth. The moon's orientation is influenced by the gravitational pull of the Earth and the position of the sun in the sky.

The International Space Station (ISS) - a permanently-manned observation point and experimental laboratory.
Do you get arthritis pain when the season changes?
There is anecdotal evidence that this happens but there is no real scientific evidence that point at this.
What is a point of view that is personal rather than scientific?
A personal point of view is based on individual beliefs, opinions, and experiences, while a scientific point of view is rooted in empirical evidence, logic, and analysis. Personal viewpoints may be subjective, emotional, and influenced by personal biases, whereas scientific viewpoints aim to be objective, logical, and evidence-based.
What is the name of the person that collects the evidence from the bones?
If this question refers to evidence from an historical point of view, such as studying dinosaur bones, the answer is palaeontologist.If the question refers to the collection of evidence from a scientific/medical or even criminal point of view, the answer is forensic anthropologist.
What is defined as a point of view based on personal beliefs or preferences rather than on scientific evidence?
Subjective point of view is based on personal beliefs or preferences rather than on scientific evidence. It is influenced by individual experiences, feelings, and opinions, leading to a perspective that may not be objective or universally applicable.

Enumerate the rule of scientific notation?
Scientific notation must include the numbers one to nine followed by a decimal point. Also, if the decimal is moved toward the left hand side, the number will become larger.
As we see the boundaries of our scientific knowledge expand daily is scientific discovery pointing more toward a Divine Creation of life or away from it?
If it were pointing toward a divine creation, it would also be pointing to the complete irrelevance of faith. This would be a serious if not insurmountable problem for some faith-based systems. What is the need for faith when confronted with concrete evidence? On the other hand, no amount of science however widely expanded it is can ever disprove creation. So there isn't much evidence of a changing pointer. However, the expansion of discovery may be pointing away from the authoritative position of the accepted creation accounts in the scriptures of some faiths. The scientific discoveries themselves point neither toward nor away from divine creation. The interpretations that are placed on the discoveries by most scientists point away from God. For other scientists, the same discoveries either indicate an unspecified supernatural origin to life or specifically point to creation of life by God.
What does Shermer mean by the covergence of evidence?
In the context of Michael Shermer's work, the "convergence of evidence" refers to the idea that multiple independent lines of evidence can come together to support a particular conclusion or hypothesis. This concept emphasizes that when different sources or types of data point toward the same outcome, it strengthens the validity of that conclusion. Shermer often uses this principle in discussions about scientific reasoning and critical thinking, highlighting the importance of integrating diverse viewpoints and findings to form a more robust understanding of complex issues.
What is the opposite of anecdotes?
There doesn't seem to be an opposite to anecdotes. An anecdote is a "small" story that proves a point (i.e. anecdotal evidence). So the opposite is either a "large" story or evidence that is not anecdotal. Of course, an anecdotal story could be a rather long story and a "yarn" or a "tale" could be a rather short story. Certainly, a tale would be hard pressed to be a tale if it was a real short story. However, there are such things as long-winded anecdotes. Science seems to want to make the distinction clearer. Anecdotes are supposedly "non-scientific", which is rather odd to me. Does that mean that a tale, such as a non-fiction book, is not scientific. I mean it is possible to have a book that is nothing but anecdotes, but proves its point to a greater degree then using some scientific method, no? Not surprisingly, in the legal world "anecdotal" evidence can be very persuasive: more persuasive then scientific methods. Yes, I think when people are just chatting to prove some point and they use some anecdote do prove their point they might want to remind the person listening by saying "well, this is just anecdotal evidence". But usually the point has already been made. That's my non-anecdotal and non-scientific take anyways.
What is scientific temperament?
Scientific temperament refers to the rational, logical, and evidence-based approach to understanding the world around us. It involves critical thinking, skepticism, and a willingness to question assumptions and beliefs in favor of empirical evidence. Individuals with a scientific temperament value the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions based on data. This mindset is essential for progress in scientific research and innovation.
