While I cant fall for evolution as it has been presented.
I do belive in selective breeding.

Gravity is not a theory, gravity is proven.
The source, nature and cause of gravity is theorised.

No religion in the history of man kind has ever been proven. Each and every single one has relied and currently relies on human belifes in order to exist. Other wise it would not be religion it would be science.

I know, people get all tied up in religion and forget the real reason why they worship.

Gravity isn't a theory, it's a given.

You should have paid more attention in your high school science classes. I'll explain. In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. You may have also heard this term kicked around in a court of law during proceedings. However, this is not the case in the realm of scientific research and discovery. Here, a scientific theory represents an hypothesis (suggested explanation), or a group of related hypotheses, which has been confirmed through repeated experimental tests. A few classic theories you may have heard of:
Quantum theory
The atomic theory
Sir Issac Newton's theory of universal gravity.
Einstein's theory of relativity
Darwin's Theory of evolution.

How do I know? I am a science teacher.
I would actually stand by my original statement - there is no facts tied to these theories either, except gravity, that can probably advance to real science now. But, as someone else said, based on your statement, Global Warming doesn't even reach the theory stage yet. The "evidence" is lacking in every way shape and form. But that doesn't stop the "greens". They just keep running forward screaming save the Earth.

Unfortunately, many of the people crying Global Warming are in our schools and making kids panic over a bad guess.

Now, based on this fairly accurate statement, one could surmise that Global Warming is therefore a religion, not science.

Someone said the skys are darker than they used to be... wrong, the air is considerably cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Remember smog? While it's still around, it rarely chokes people off like it used to. Even the "pea soup fog" in England isn't nearly as thick as it was even in the 60s.

So, I would suggest that the Global Warming/Green crowd is a bunch of religious zealots and quite likely terrorists.

I love the Earth and want to protect it, but within reason and logic, not some wild a$$ guess.

Let's not forget the gasses from rain forests. The decaying foilage from the forest floor is releasing nitrogen (I think it is) as the dead leaves and dead critters decay.

I agree the human race contributes to the amount of gases and such released into the atmosphere, but we are not the cause. Only a complete moron would believe this. Even if every human being magically disapeared from the planet and no more exhaust from cars, trash from our homes, and fuel burned to heat our homes etc were in the mix, the NATURAL CYCLE of global warming will still continue.

True enough! So, it's less than a theory, not a religion, what is it, bas opinion?

I heard a quote at a seminar yesterday, forgot who it was attributed to, but he was an advisor to a bunch of presidents...

"A man has a right to be wrong in his opinion, he does not have a right to be wrong in his facts."

Can't, or WON'T? There's big money in the TREATMENT of diseases. The cures? Not so much.



Maybe I'm just paranoid.







I need a drink.

Religion–noun
1. a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects.
2. the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices.

I belive that Global warming advocates would be practicing thier global warming religion. AKA a cult, "which all cults are still a religion".

cult -noun
Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.
