And as we all know, memories can be even more powerful than original experiences; and the less information that remains, the more powerful the memory. This proves that homeopathic dilutions work.<BR/><BR/>Back to the real world: this goes to show that Creationists don't have a monopoly on making up wild stories to squoosh the reluctant facts, kicking and screaming, into their worldview.zilchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695741977946935771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-84985059844574678952008-11-19T00:18:00.000-05:002008-11-19T00:18:00.000-05:00Another thing relevant to homeopathic treatments w...Another thing relevant to homeopathic treatments which might not be obvious, and which I didn't see you mention is Avogadro's number.<BR/><BR/>Some of the diluted solutions advocated in the homeopathic field are so extremely dilute that there is a very high probability that *exactly zero* molecules of the supposed active ingredient are present in the prescribed homeopathic solution. That is, the solutions are *so* dilute that Avogodro's number -- the number of molecules in a mole -- comes into play in a big way, in that it shows that the probability that zero molecules of the supposed active ingredient are even present in the administered treatment is very high.stevechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031509310091443835noreply@blogger.com
