This is what you think science is?

“Science IS debate. You make an assertion and back it with logic and evidence. Your opponent makes a counter assertion an hopefully has logical reasoning and evidence to back their claim. Science evolves through the filter (natural selection) of logic and evidence. Hypotheses that canot (sic) survive logic and evidence perish; those that can, propagate”

You think there are “opponents” in science? Is it some kind of game to you? Do you not know real scientists are all allies in the search for the truth of the nature of reality?

I tried to register for Hewitt’s preferred debate site, but for some reason I get no response.

I wish it were true. But the global warming debate is an obvious example of where you are wrong. The history of science has been one of competing schools making competing claims. Evidence and logic tipped the balance.

Is this the "scientist" version of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy? ;-)

Cheers!
