Honestly, it never really occurred to me to have a favorite, but now that I think about it, I have a small handful of favorites.
1)Phlogiston 2)Geocentrism 3)The one whose name I can't remember, about how all natural laws were known and so all facts could be deduced without the need for direct observation.
There are others for which the word "favorite" would be inappropriate, but which I like to keep around as evidence of man's arrogance and/or stupidity.
No, not determinism. I have been able to narrow it down to being part of the empiricism/rationalism debate, but still haven't found who it was that suggested that observation was no longer necessary at all.
