If we already knew everything, science would be unnecessary.

The science is settled,just like climate change, until it isn’t. And here I was foolish enough to think that the idea of science was to always be questioning, always exploring and discovering. But who am I to argue with Al Gore and Bill Nye the science guy?

"Again... Science is infallible - until it’s not."

~~~~~~~~~~

That is one of the more dumb@$$3d statements I've encountered on FR -- and that is quite an achievement!

It so happens that tomorrow, I complete my 80th orbit around our local star -- and as a physical scientist, I will testify that NEVER have I encountered a genuine scientist who claimed that "Science is infallible".

Nothing pleases a scientist more than to develop a better experiment or better measurement or observation to supplant and improvethe current state of knowledge. In fact, that is precisely why we do what we do. And those of us who are also are believers in Divine Creation also rejoice each time a new discovery unveils a bit more of the majesty of our Creator's magnificent design.

Bottom line: your statement is that of an ignorant dogmatist. And it disrespects both our Creator -- and those who honestly strive to ever-better understand Him and his infinitely-elegant work of creation.

Congratulations! You've put yourself in the same mental subclass as the Gorebull Wahrumists -- who claim "the science is settled"! '-)

Have a blessed day!
