(1,002 posts)I studied climatology in grad school and have to admit to being depressed by the presumption that science has been taken over by a bunch of charlatans.
Your post just made my day. Thank you!

(62,530 posts)think about the cargo cults.
primitive cultures that when they first saw airplanes, thought they were from the "gods" then build bamboo and straw replicas.
aka magic.
on edit: smart phones aren't sufficiently advanced to be thought of as magic.
those who think so, they are morons.

I'm just speculating on how a science-denier's mind works. So...the earth is flat, but I can point a satellite dish at something out there in the sky and pick up a TV signal. Climate change isn't real and massive growth in wildfires and floods doesn't mean anything until I have to make my insurance claim.

(9 posts)but you cant just mix in a bunch of unscientific assertions with a few facts in order to smuggle them underneath the heading of science. Just saying vaccines work is not a refutation of the mounting evidence of the potential harm they may be causing to be our kids.
There is now way more scientific, logical, material & testimonial evidence that the moon landing was a hoax, than that it actually happened. I recommend a video on the subject on a YouTube channel called Better Humanity; should be easy to find & I consider to be rather decisive regarding the question. You should watch it.
Of course climate change is real; the climate has been constantly changing since the formation of planet earth, & certainly always will be. But as to the claim that human use of fossil fuels is causing the climate to change in a way that represents an existential threat to the planet itself, is just as likely to be (yet another) political bogeyman designed to scare us into ceding ever more arbitrary authority over our lives, liberty & property to politicians & bureaucrats, than a valid scientific claim.
Chemtrails are most certainly a thing. To say theyre not is not science, its straight up willful ignorance.
The fact that evolution is real does not preclude the existence of God. Atheists, as such, cannot legitimately point to evolution as supportive of their argument. In fact, one might just as easily point to evolution as evidence in FAVOR of the existence of a divine creator.
I agree, we should stand up for science. But we should make sure that what were standing up for really IS science & enlightened understanding; rather than just blindly accepting & repeating interested sophistry promulgated by political hacks.

(9 posts)Are you aware of how arrogant & foolish it is to presume that because I believe some things that you dont, means that the bases of my beliefs must not be valid or reputable?
