Time boggles the mind, there is a Russian cosmonaut that has spent so much time in space he's actually a fraction of second younger had he stayed earth.

Believers need sky pappy to get down here and slap around some scientists and atheists.

Show 'em who's boss.



Sky pappy = Spiderman = Fred Flintstone = Fictional character

There are still no compelling reasons to think otherwise...

No, the purpose of science is to understand the world.

As is ANY belief in AGW.

So then what is the theory supported by?

If you can't reproduce their work - solely faith in the individual(s) who make the claims.

When one cannot pursue the knowledge via exploration and experimentation, but have to defer to the field/think tank/peer review that can, what is that?

Faith.

If I cannot test on an equal level....my only recourse is ignorance. What is that? There are tons of real life examples of this!

No, your "recourse" is not ignorance. That's a false choice fallacy.

Knowing the limitations of certainty about these things is true knowledge.

It is "settled" when liberal politicians find a use for it to advance their agenda of power and control.

And which one of these is ruining your religion for you?

Incorrect. Faith is a belief held despite a lack of evidence. What you're talking about is a belief brought about because of the propensity of the evidence.

Says the poster who would attack a scientist that holds a pro AGW stance becsue of their advocacy for open and honest debate.
