Just because it backs you into a corner doesn't make it invalid.

Is this TIC? Or your true thoughts on the matter?

I’m pretty sure this is what Pope Urban said to Galileo.

I’m pretty sure the reverse was true.

Are you saying that the anti-science forces are usually well-funded by those

chilango

Feb 10, 8:37am

If by anti-science, you mean agenda-driven instead of truth-driven science, then

Misteak

Feb 10, 8:43am

Right, anti-science = agenda-driven the vast majority of the time.

True. The other problem is that it is hard to accept everything that might

Fundamental misunderstanding of what science is on both sides here.

Do you believe that he who records decides what is observed?

30 of you said you don't believe these things?

I wager that the 30 doubters did not graduate with a degree in science.

I mean, i have a 'useless' humanities degree, but I don't doubt climate change

So, is it fair to say that consensus is inconclusive?
