"Contradict yourself much?"
Right on criticism. My Bad. Even I'm used to saying "Man is the only intelligent form of life." Which is ridiculous. Our Earth is the only known source of life in the "Cosmos."

"Now, Sky, you might not accept this as accurate but if not, can you provide empirical evidence that it is not accurate and that any other creation story is more accurate?"
I admire that it and others are similar to the one I hold as most accurate. But that particular story is not enclosed in a book of historical, factual events, people, places, and time lines. See more @ Home - Biblical Archaeology Society

"You don't know what research I have or haven't done. In fact you know nothing about me. So stop making such baseless assertions."
That response actually tells the whole story.

"You don't know what research I have or haven't done. In fact you know nothing about me. So stop making such baseless assertions." That response actually tells the whole story. Indeed - it shows that you, -Sky-, are making the baseless assumption that another debater has not engaged in research on teh topic. You are, in effect, attacking the person, not the argument. This is an ad hominem fallacy, and it means your argument is logically invalid. Try arguing the position, not the opponent. If you have information that shows that religious texts are not actually inconsistent, then provide that information. Show that religious texts worldwide do in fact offer different perspectives on the same Biblical story, as opposed to being mutually exclusive and contradictory. Do you have such information?

"You said you had proof that scientific research was driven by the desires of man, rather than the interest in scientific discovery. Where is the proof? You made a baseless assertion: back it up."
Well, this is private proof, but we'll see.If I say that it's proven that Greenland average temperatures could rise by 5Centigrade in 10 years, would you proclaim it to the world, or sweep it under the rug? (Melting not caused by CO2.) The scientific community has swept it under the rug as"An Inconvenient Truth" It's "PROOF" fro me that science could care less about the facts if they conflict with a predisposed idea. 10 days ago this fact had FOUR results in a google search. All from one website. I spread the word a little, and now science is peeking out from under the snowball with 80 results. You likely don't care about the global warming muck...but it's valid proof to me. "Especially astonishing are the very short times needed for major warmings. A temperature increase of 5C can occur in a few decades. " Also note the scientific term "Especially astonishing." Sagan used that term around the Hookah pipe a lot.

Man is the only form of life in the entire Cosmos.
And you know this, how? Science Dude, Scientific evidence.All here, none found there. Science hard Fact. Scoop shovels of soil, radio waves, visible monitoring, every possible known scientific method of observation we can come up with. Robots even. Zero, Zilch, Nada. Even our fiction is hokey. Green men with huge heads. With all this raw material at our disposal, we can't come up with anything new. We can only stick working stuff together like Mr. Potato head clones.

You call that an attack? You must be a mighty thin skinned dung weasle.But I appreciate your view. I'll keep that in mind.

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

" I typed your quoted phrase into google, as you did not provide the exact search terms used to get the 80 hits referenced before and got only 1 hit, an article titled "Local view: Scientific fact shows that global warming is real ..." and it required a subscription. Can you tell us the exact search term(s) used for the 80 hits, so we can check out the source of the info ourselves? Or is that a secret?

Just throw the quote around and see if you get called a raving lunatic as I did.....until I included the source.

To reiterate : I typed your quoted phrase into google (including the quotes) and it's sourced to ONE particular article dated Jan 1st 2010. Without the quotes I get over 31000 unrelated hits.
Results 1 - 1 of 1 for "Especially astonishing are the very short times needed for major warmings. A temperature increase of 5C can occur in a few decades." Article title: "Local view: Scientific fact shows that global warming is real ..."404: Page Not Found The site requires a registration and for me to provide a valid U.S. or Canadian zipcode (I'm still awaiting a confirmation email of my registration, where I lied about my zipcode '90210'). UPDATE : Never got my registration email ----------------- UPDATE : Is this the research you meant? http://www.theresilientearth.com/?q=content/arctic-aeroso...
NASA researchers report that much of the atmospheric warming observed in the Arctic since 1976 may be due to changes in tiny airborne particles called aerosols. Though greenhouse gases are invariably blamed for global climate change, and the shrinking Arctic ice cover in particular, this new research indicates that as much as half the warming in the Arctic can be attributed to short lived particulate pollutionbasically soot. Unlike the dreaded gas, CO2, aerosols do not stay in the atmosphere very long, suggesting that the effects of any warming caused by aerosols would quickly be reversed if their emissions ceased. So it's still human pollution causing the problem, but because only half the warming is due specifically to CO2 per se that means scientists are liars and the warming/melting isn't 'really' happening ? BTW doesn't this actually imply that any predicted arctic warming needs to be doubled to take into account the effect of man-made aerosols? And there's no indication at all that the emissions of the aerosols are going to cease (it's not even on the agenda, unlike CO2 emissions). Edited by jasonlang, : No reason given.
