If this is supposedly settled, evolution stands on far firmer ground. Does this mean those who agree about the state of this science will agree to stop bringing up creationism and intelligent design?

 

A C- for the attempt to side track this thread.:yes::hi5:

 

The interesting question here is what makes for settled science. We have a million global warming threads.

 

It was the alarmists that said the science was settled. The truth is, science is never settled.

 

JJ we have a religion and spirituality subforum

 

As do we have one for science.

My question stands to the people who don't acknowledge the scientific basis for evolution but stand by the claim that global warming has been ruled out by science: what consistent standard results in those positions?

 

we allow global warming threads in here when it pertains to science it is mostly a political topic

the aspects of religion that are political we allow as well, but your first post was out of place

you are framing the question in a way that imo does not belong here and ultimately implies something that should not be discussed in the POFO. i am moving this thread to science forum for now as it doesnt pertain to politics.

 

I am not sure how this pertains to anything but politics. The question at its core seems to me to be whether there is a standard for what science is or whether there is a political bias at play.

I guess that's a bit uncomfortable for the membership, though.

 

Micro-evolutionist here. I have done two years college level Bio as well. Climate change is not what it's cracked up to be. I reject the claims of Global Warming or whatever it's being called to make it seem more encompassing.

 

Certain scientists may not have abided by standards, but clean air is still a good thing. One counter-criticism: newsletters by green advocacy groups are certainly not sufficient for citation, but student theses, if the students did the proper research and were successfully defended, should be.

 

each thread is different and can turn into a different direction depending on the posts

we can discuss cap and trade for example in the POFO

 

Any thread that starts out with, "The Science is settled" has nothing to do with science.
