Consensus is not a reliable means of garnering truth -- see also anthropogenic global warming.

(Don't leave yourself open for cheap shots.)

Cheers!

“Consensus is not a reliable means of garnering truth...”

In mature scientific fields, absent evidence that cannot be integrated into the existing paradigm, consensus is what is assumed to be, an operates as, truth.

If you with to discuss climate change, we can do so on another thread.

“Consensus is not a reliable means of garnering truth — see also anthropogenic global warming.”

As an aside, consensus is when Obama is voted into office... If stormer believes consensus represents truth and Obama was voted in by a consensus (and there are plenty of other examples), then it follows that stormer is then a liberal who had to, in good conscience have voted for Obama.

Get ready for it...
