I was done with Global Warming the first time I heard the phrase, ‘The science is settled’. That’s just nonsense. You can’t end the debate before the debate has even started...unless you’re a charlatan.

Yep, and that's especially true of "historical sciences" which are very different from observational science. The matter of origins comes to mind, and neither side has the right to say that science "proves" their side is right since it's impossible to subject it to the scientific method.

All you can do with any historical science is ask the plausibility question: "Which one fits the best, with the fewest caveats and conditional factors?"
