Stephen Hawking was fool and knew nothing about how the universe works

Thanks for that, Pro.Ugh...It was pretty annoying to read that last round.Pro needs to get over all of this diet solves everything hysteria.It's extremely irrelevant to this debate.*Review*Stephen Hawking knew a lot about how the universe works, quite antithetical to the resolution.I provided 5 examples in round 2 detailing what Stephen Hawking knew about how the universe works.They have been dropped by Pro.*Responding to Pro*Pro reasons:"Being a leading scientist, one should be up to date in the latest scientific information. Stephen Hawking didn't appear to know *anything* about vitamins, halogens and how the human body works."My response:Funny.I recall him living way longer than he should have, and when asked *why* he thought he had this particular syndrome he said:"I believe motor neurone disease is a syndrome that can have different causes. Maybe my variety is due to bad absorption of vitamins."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...So he knew something about vitamins and their relationship with his disease."Professor Hawking supplements his diet with daily mineral and vitamin tablets, and zinc, cod liver oil capsules, folic acid, vitamin B complex, vitamin B-12, vitamin C and vitamin E are said to have been particularly helpful."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...Pro concedes: "He may have understood the conventional medical theory that germs are the cause of disease."My response:Pro concedes that Hawking knew something about nature and medicine.Pro continues:"but unfortunately the germ theory of disease causation is faulty."My response:Ugh.Explain why an infestation of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus in one's body isn't pathogenic.Germ Theory is a fact and irrelevant to a debate about whether or not Stephen Hawking is a fool or knew anything about how the universe works.Pro continues:"The medical system is a microcosm of the science world as a whole. It is built on many false assumptions which are based on further and older assumptions."My response:Medical science is not built on false assumptions, especially evidence-based medicine, and even if it were, it does not slippery slope into a problem with the other modern sciences or modern science as a whole.The fact that modern science has a rigorous peer review process and incredibly high experimental standards discredits the idea that the theories are built on something faulty.If you wanted a debate about modern medicine, why then have a debate about Stephen Hawking's knowledge of how the universe works?You sure you're not on the Lameo diet?It's a diet that gives you tons of energy to annoy people with irrelevant nonsense.It also makes you really lame.Hence the name of the diet.Pro flies of the rails:"Both Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein were protected by an invisible shield of political correctness. This is because Hawking had a disability and Einstein was Jewish."My response:I almost spilled my matzoh ball soup on my copy of Briefer History of Time reading that.The chutzpah of this guy!Both men had to face a ton of hardship, from Jewish oppression to the stigmatizing of the disabled.Pro's just way off here.*Pro's Numbered Responses*Pro whines:"Still waiting for my opponent to respond to the following statements."My response:Still waiting for my opponent to have relevant-to-the-resolution responses.Pro lists:"1. Stephen Hawking's disease caused by DDT and not a virus."My response:This wouldn't indicate that Stephen Hawking is a fool or didn't know *anything* about how the universe works.Pro's point about DDT causing Hawking's disease is as irrelevant as a meat eating competition at a vegan convention.Pro adds:"2. Why was the world's smartest person unable to know about the cause of his own condition?"My response:This is a concession that Hawking was the world's smartest person, effectively negating the resolution that he was a fool.Also, Hawking has commented on the cause of his disease, see above.Pro throws in:"3. Did Stephen Hawking have a deal with the pharmaceutical companies to keep him quiet?"My response:Did the price of Biryani from Kurdistan increase in Australia's state of Victoria?Come on Pro...this is way off topic and the answer is likely "no."Pro piles on:"4. Paleo diet avoids all diseases."My response:This is as irrelevant to this debate as showing a silent movie about colors to the honorees at a ceremony honoring the blind.Also, we've cleared up that you're on the Lameo diet.So lame.Pro ends with:"5. Leaky gut syndrome explains how bacteria enter blood stream. Thus, germ theory is false."My response:Attacking germ theory in a debate about one's understanding of how the universe works is like attacking plate tectonics in a debate about whether or not a dietitian knows anything about how the human body works.Also, this seems to admit that bacteria entering the blood stream is a fact, regardless of how it got there, which confirms germ theory, the idea that microorganisms and viruses invade your body and act as pathogens.Pro concedes this.*Conclusion*Stephen Hawking was not a fool and knew very much about how the universe works.Pro has not touched my examples, so they stand.Also, Pro is veering into complete irrelevancy and is growing more annoying by the post.Voters take note.
