I want to know why the scientific method is the only safe way to gain knowledge? Is the scientific method infallible?
Is the expression scientific skepticism correct?

The scientific method is simply an organized way to conduct an inquery. That you daont know this suggests asyssal ignorance and the poinlessnicity of further communication.

BTW, you never responded to my question. What would it take for you to turn over the pathetic saiving of a lifetime of ball gargling and paint scraping?

Here, you probably can't work a mouse wheel. I'll post it again.
I've sorta given up doing this but let me try one more time.

Do you have any money? Like in a retirement account?

Suppose you do and I say "Flatus, old man, I have an opportunity for you. I will double your money if you invest with me. All you have to do is give it to me and believe".

Now, unless you are deranged, you will say "thats great, can you demonstrate that you can do it?"

Are you with me so far? You see what is happening? I am making a promise and you are asking (rightly) for proof of what I am claiming. Do you see that?

Now. You are a savvy investor. You have not just fallen off of a turnip truck. I am making a claim that, though possible, is pretty much something that you have not experienced. I am asking for your loot. You want to believe.

eta: This is an outcome that is highly desirable. Not the 6% return that wage slaves like Bruce dream about but 100% return. It is like <hint> everlasting life. Because it is so desirable, you recognize in yourself a bias TO believe. You do see that, you foreign beggar you? Because it is so desirable, and knowing that you want to believe, you are going to be strict with what you will accept as proof.

What proof is adequate for you to turn over your hard earned cash? Be real specific. What do I have to do, say, show that will convince you that I can deliver?

Take your time. Do not arm wave. Just answer the fuggin question.

Your turn.
Just answer the question ...

I have a question
Why does a prayer or prayer stop or stop yawning?
What is the relationship of praying to the end of yawning immediately?
does prayer have anything to do with the immediate end of yawning?
If so, what is the cause of yawning when the person is not sleepy or tired?

Rob 'Rotting Dick' Listy knows nothing of her. She would never associate with such pus-bucketry.

She is devoted only to me, yet she doesn't know this yet... .:)

you did not understand.
I said prayer prevents yawning.
and the prayer makes the yawn stop immediately.
what is the cause of this phenomenon? Is it a mechanical cause or an intelligent cause?
