Is Science just another belief system?

Northern Ontario,
My old science teacher in high school would tell us, "unless you do the experiment yourself you will not really learn and only accept the beliefs of others.
Not all of us can go around the world in a plane or go into orbit we must believe others that have done it to tell us that the earth isn't flat.
Even science keeps making new discoveries and the scientists tell us we must believe.

You are not allowed to doubt religious dogma, and they say that science is riddled with doubt, because new discoveries are made every day....Yet the global warmists tell us that the science is settled......something a true scientist would never do.....


Conspiracy theories aside," only a skeptic can be a true scientist" is what my old science teacher used to say!
Never do an experiment to prove an outcome.....but only to verify!..... There is a difference!

My science teachers were the same way. In a way the Globull warming truthers are no different than the anti fish farm and anti logging protestors. Large numbers of them are in all three groups. THey come up with a touchy feel good conclusion then attempt the most convoluted "experiments" in a lame attempt to prove their conclusion. That most people did not like science in school and have the attention span of a gnat makes it easier for them to pass off false information as fact.

What amazes me are those experts that make such ridiculous statements in the face of all the previously failed models and predictions.

... Goes to show the value of those degrees that you can get from the inside of a match-book

The value of the degree is the amount of money the gubmint will grant you to keep spewing the dogma that only increased taxes will save us.

Always loved that one where they faked how carbon traps heat in front of my eyes with a fake formula to back up the fake claim.

Science is fake,.

My favourite part was when they showed that methane (ie: natgas) is 25x more potent a GHG than CO2. And what's even better is the plan seems to be to replace CO2 output with methane instead. Talk about throwing gasoline on an alcohol fire to put it out.

Science is real. But in the case of "climate science" unfortunately, politics and advocates within the scientific community have warped it and turned it into a religion.
When scientists are being censured or worse, fired, for daring to suggest that AGW isn't the problem it's being made out to be, that's not science, that's akin to being excommunicated from the church. I expect that kind of behaviour from close-minded religitards, not from within the scientific community.

. It is being excommunicted by the real Church it is not an approximation, just wait till the public burnings start all the deniers and thier books consigned to hell by fire, just like the new good old days.
That old evil congregation is as healthy as it ever was or better what with the modern convinience of ciggarette lighters and propane torches.

Just as an aside.......That science teacher, was one of the many Canadian scientists who worked on the "Manhattan project"
Another one of her lessons....works in many situations not just in science....."Trust but verify"

There were a couple of engineers in my work station one time, making some well deserved changes in the machinery on a down day..
When I walked in I said to them " Andy Valiere was right" <Andy was a well known character in the mill> lol
That got their attention......."Before you become an engineer, the first lesson is to loose all common sense"

Only one guy laughed....
So I said " I guess you're not an engineer"
He said " I am but I also have a sense of humor"
