Ah, Danae is a true child of the Left!
Superfrog over 10 years ago
Of course you don’t want the science, Danae. You’re a child. You can’t handle the truth.

Over the ages people have created many gods… those of today are not quite as exciting as some of the past… But they are Just as believable.If you feel compelled to believe in today’s gods, you will be all set for tomorrows newer And improved gods.

So a goldfish, no matter how smart it is, can never eat the black hole at the center of the galaxy then? Well, that isn’t very satisfying.

Good luck with that.

Being that Danae is, in fact, the center of the world, if not the universe, I’m surprised she hasn’t ordered things so.

Danae’s father is right. Weather isn’t dictated by a calendar.Spring “starts” on the 20th of March, but it’s God who actuallyknows when it begins, not a date on a calendar.

paraphrasing donald rumsfeld “the absence of evidence does not mean there is an evidence of absence.”doesn’t pertain to a supreme being, does pertain to nucular weapons in iraq…

The problem isn’t that Libs want to change the way things are to the way they ought to be, the problem is they want to do it with other people’s money.

It’s not up to science to prove or disprove the existence of a supernatural deity. It’s up to the people who claim such a being exists to prove it’s existence, something they are unable to do.

Her dad’s right, since does not need the inane and immature intrusion of religion and politics to screw things up; except sometimes somewhere in America.

Why does everyone forget that when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandments were, he said FIRST was to love God with your whole mind, your whole heart and your whole soul? Second to that and similar to it was to love your neighbor as yourself.

There is a song called my religion is better than your religion. Very good.

The whole system went haywire when Republicans noticed that if they used the same information that everyone else was using, they couldn’t get to the conclusions that they wanted to reach, at least not using any recognizable form of logic. So they invented “think tanks”- organizations with honorable integrity filled sounding names like “Americans for Freedom” or “Heritage Foundation”. These organizations would then produce data that could be used to win any argument necessary. The fact that the data had no validity in the real world wasn’t considered to be relevant to the situation.

Danae should become a government climate “scientist.” It combines the best of all those things: Pre-determined outcomes poising as science taken on religious faith and based on politics….
Caddy57 over 10 years ago
Making Danae quiet is that easy? No politics, no religion, she has nothing to say. Why did he wait this long on that?

That’s smog (and according to Ronald Reagan, the trees from that huge forest will just make it worse).

What’s with all the yelling? Why is the American Taliban feel it necessary be constantly yelling? Religion is a private, personal matter, between you and your entity.

You don’t “prove” anything in science. You merely support (or not) the null hypothesis to a greater or lesser degree of freedom. Anyhow, that’s what they taught me in the ’70’s.
Enoki over 10 years ago
Do explain Night-Gaunt how virtually all of the IPCC’s predictions on climate change have been wrong. Or, how the Farmer’s Almanac is more accurate at predicting next year’s weather than the NOAA….It is the Progressive side of this, along with government paid scientists that have been consistently wrong on climate change (aka Gorebal Warming). .The Left’s profit of doom, Al Gore, is a leading example of pseudoscience tainted by politics and taken as truth by his true believers. It’s like tuning into the 700 club… God forbid….And yes, all puns intended.

Given all the winter storms back East that we’ve had this year, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised for people there to:Find all the snow finally melting, in May! — only to have it snow again, right there and then on the spot! Oh, well. Same old, same old! Time to get out the old snow shovels again!…

“The deserts are increasing in breadth.”As they have been for some time, ever since the Ice Age cooled the Earth. We can easily prove that a lack of available water causes an increase in atmospheric heating, while the availability of water is due to a high incidence of atmospheric water vapor to deposit water as precipitation, and that said water vapor is a better greenhouse gas than the carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect is not a major player in global warming, though it is a very real effect and scientifically valid in other contexts than global climate change. The climate of the Earth is ruled by the state change of water. Anybody who says otherwise is placing their own belief system above the laws of thermodynamics and calling it a consensus of settled science.But it is probably for your own good. They just want what they want and if they have to yell until they get it, well, that is your fault.

Give it a rest will you. Up in Maine the winters linger a little longer. Look at Peyton Place.

Very clever; I bet you thought no one would call you on the difference between “proof” and “evidence”.1) There’s no proof that fairies, leprechauns, and bigfoot don’t exist. Is not believing in them then a matter of faith? Like afairyism, aleprechaunism, and abigfootism, atheism is a conclusion drawn from overwhelming evidence, not an “act of faith.”2) Absence of evidence is evidence of absence, at least where evidence is to be expected. There is no evidence for the existence of the western sky god (god, allah, zeus, thor); if he existed, there should be some way of detecting him and/or his actions. Victor Stenger’s book God: The Failed Hypothesis fleshes out this argument; also to be considered is the fact that The Laws Underlying The Physics of Everyday Life Are Completely Understood. The point is not to believe beyond what the evidence indicates. Else, how could you criticize people who believe in a different religion than the one you believe in?3) But, as with most religionists who attempt to equate acceptance of science or the conclusion of atheism with faith, I really do appreciate the way that you implicitly regard faith as inferior to knowledge, facts, and reason. Well done!

Getting REALLY SICK of you always bashing religion, Wiley,

here! here! Though the radical athists are just as bad. I had a teacher once say politics isn’t a line, it’s more like a donut with a small bite out of it, because the extremes ‘left’ AND ‘right’ end up closer to each other than to the middle."
