Default Re: what do christians say about chinese people

Subfallen,
Do you think that pure mathematics deals with "actually meaningful" concepts? Why or why not?

Do you think that the statement "Gravitons mediate gravitational interactions" has "actual meaning"? Why or why not?

Gravitons are not observable entities. I don't know what you mean by "definitional categories".

Are you seriously arguing that for something to have "actual meaning" you must observe it first? It appears that is what you are saying based on this:

How about: "The sky is blue." All terms in this sentence map to actually observable entities or definitional categories.

It is based in ACTUAL OBSERVATION.
