The science is inductive and therefore probabilistic. If you're going to hold it as an absolute, as you have been doing, then a great deal of faith is involved, Which means you believe in it. This is a straw man argument. If you're by a stove and wearing a sweater it isn't the sweater making...

I know you believe it. That isn't in question.

I tried to use logic, to give an example of a simpler solution that explained the observed phenomena better. I tried to do so in my own words. Also, a metaphor isn't rhetoric. And I'm not trying to trick you. I just honestly think AGW is BS and for some pretty simple logical reasons. I'm...

I wasn't trying to insult you. Metaphors are easier to grasp sometimes so I thought I would try one. I was just trying to point out faulty thinking. I'm not debating with you. It's pointless to debate with a radical. Your mind is made up, I can see that.

Sorry, life is too short. It's time you learned to look under the bed for yourself. While you're at it you might want to look into dogmatism and evaluate why you're so adamant about this stuff.

Yeah, you're right, the planet warmed up and, oh gee, a planet with an atmosphere retains that heat longer - big surprise there. I'm amused by how much has changed in the links you posted. I'm reminded of a theist who keeps changing his concept of god. When a child tells you there is a monster...

The burden of proof lies always with the perpetrator of a myth. If that burden hasn't been satisfactorily met that doesn't make the skeptic an idiot. If the burden is met the myth (hypothesis) will become a theory (fact) until some other better explanation comes along. Ah, but there is the rub...

Suit yourself.

The latest issue of Skeptic has an article called Climate Skeptics wherein the author describers his reliance on the expertise of his peers for formulating his opinion (because at the end of the day all the information confuses him). He also claims that even if it weren't true (carbon/climate...

I can't believe this sh!t is still being debated.

There is absolutely no way they could. It is a ridiculous task. They can only speculate inductively on what may have happened but such speculation only makes them look foolish and plays into the hands of the people that provided the official false explanation. The only solution is for people to...

David Hume wrote an article on miracles and his reasoning stands against 9/11 too. There were, in the official explanation, so many firsts and unusual events of a kind that to call them miracles isn't slightly a stretch (in fact the perpetrators and their fanatic supporters do not doubt that...

The trouble with death cults is that they require an end time. They must constantly feed their adherents a constant diet of fear and impending horror. The sun is going to get too cold or is it too hot; aliens are coming (quick cut off your nuts), Jesus is coming on the next cloud, sun storms...

No conspiracy, "they" are us. People fear their freedom and seek a Shepard to protect them. They want to follow rules, prophets, gods, authority, leaders so they don't have to rely on themselves. Someone need only step up with a new fear to become a ruler. People will flock to their banner in...

I like it. We could get rid of some hippies too!

I thought I would post an argument from the side of religion for a change. :lol: YouTube - Why atheists' arguments don't work And if that doesn't convince you (warning: graphic language and depictions):

Open-mindedness

Spanking 'brings couples together' SPANKING is stressful at first, but it could bring consenting couples closer together. That's the implication of two studies of hormonal changes associated with sadomasochistic (S&M) activities including spanking, bondage and flogging. Brad Sagarin at...

Before I post this I am going to say that I really object to the word cult being used in this article. I think it is an attempt by the AP villanize this religion and thereby insinuate that it is different than other religions. I would submit that this is a gross misuse of language specifically...

The God Who Wasn't There A terrific documentary. I highly recommend it for anyone who has been infected with the god virus.
