As for people being scientists or not? I ask the question, what exactly is a scientist anyway? Many quacks that claim to be scientists, I mean the theory of evolution is a bunch of nonsense, same so called scientists that believe that, also believe in global warming etc.

These quacks believe the world is billions of years old, yet we have only been keeping records for around 200 years in regards to temperatures etc. I have very little respect for much of science, I mean they lose me with the theory of evolution, just to name one. It`s a bunch of nonsense, not to mention it was only a theory in itself.

If they were engineers (like me ) and not scientists, they would quickly realize that nothing builds itself.

I completely agree...as soon as scientists say “the debate is over”, whether it be about evolution, climate change, AIDS, you name it...you can bet they have ceased practicing science and are now pushing their own personal politics/religion.

“I have very little respect for much of science”

Thanks for the honesty. Some hate science not because it fails to live up to its own methodology, but because of its own methodology.

The problem with the AGW crowd is they aren’t transparent, they don’t make testable predictions, the replace evidence with consensus, they don’t modify the theory when faced with new evidence (the role of sulfate aerosols, the laspe-rate in the troposphere, etc. etc.)

In contrast, something like the Big Bang theory makes theoretical predictions that have been empirically verified.

For starters I would strongly suggest that you take the time to look up the definition of a scientific theory.

Making arguments against a subject without at least rudimentary knowledge of that subject only makes you look foolish.
