I can't say a day would go by without rain during the summer, regardless of what the weather man says. I'm in North Florida, and everyday we get rain during the summer.
Just a quick passing shower usually, but its still rain.
Rained this morning, hadn't rained for about a week before that (it's fall now, close to winter).
I need to know if I need to wear a jacket, just about to head to work, and it takes me an hour to walk there. I don't want to show up to work wet.
Funny, some folks here have a beef with science, not useless and misleading religion. If it wasn't for science they'd still live in mud huts and hunt pigs for a living. The Internet sure has caught on.
The parts of it where it isn't accurate, and the parts of it where it hasn't found the answer.
I'm good with chemistry, for example, though.
Instead of rejecting it, perhaps you should be part of the effort to study and improve it. The truth is we know next to nothing about anything when it comes to the physical world. We think we've figured out some of the simple rules, but most things are extraordinarily complex. We're just now moving past the low-hanging fruit. My personal belief is that much of the natural world too complex for us to ever have a complete picture.
Thanks for the shout out to chemistry though - as a chemist, I appreciate it.
The weathermen assured all of us watching that Charley was going to make landfall somewhere north of Tampa.
WRONG! Instead, it fooled those scientists and hit the very town I was living in, over 100 miles to the south.
Since science FAILED to predict the landfall accurately, why should I put credence in it?
Yes, and Andrew in '92 was on track to roar through my neighborhood, but instead made landfall 35 miles to the south. The difference between you and me, obviously, is that even in '92, I knew that the track shown could vacillate considerably within the 'cone of probability'.

I said I don't have a beef where they can give accurate information. If you fall from a roof without imparting any personal momentum of your own, you will always fall with the same amount of force, and at the same acceleration of 9.8 meters per second per second.
But if you're just going to guess, one guess is as good as another. Your guess is as good as mine.
no one today was involved in anything that went on a few centuries ago.
But it still happens today. Army of God is one and there are more.
But that is beside the point even. What if the billboard was sponsered by a Christian church, attempting to refute Islam? Would you also call those billboard posters arrogant creeps? I'm just curious.
It explains it for a lot of people. Some answer is as good as a guess.
I don't think most people have a problem with religion. I don't mind what anyone else believes or doesn't believe. My problem is that when science contradicts a 10,000 year old fairy tale about a man, woman, and a snake, and then they want to ignore facts and fossil evidence.
Religion may indeed explain things to some people, but most people want science, not faith to guide most of our lives. When people want to teach creationism in school, thats going to far.
Also, when we are in the worst economic downturn since the depression, and people are losing their homes, schools funds are being cut, wars are having to be paid for, and everything is about "budget budget budget" most communities and the nation as a whole spends a butt load of money to promote someone elses religion that I don't believe. You can celebrate Christmas without trees in the town square, and light fixtures everywhere. That, to me, would be the first place I'd cut my budget, decorations. Now if the private individual wants to put them on their house, cool, I'm not stopping you.
