  IAN: Hay, we're making progress! Now you
  need to show what in physics supports your
  claim that atomism helps make predictions.

  Can you name any physical attribute of any
  thing, A, such as weight, size, velocity,
  color, that is assigned to A free from
  not-A. Since your so sure that such
  non-holism exists, this should be
  as easy knocking off one liners.
  Just show one example of atomism.

  So how about putting your money where
  your keyboard is and back up your claim
  with something more than another claim.
