Originally posted by Tassman View PostScience deals in probabilities, not absolute proofs. When the probability of something approaches 100%, as per the science of climate change, then we can regard the science, colloquially, as “settled science”.
If those denying climate change are wrong, as they probably are, then the 6th mass extinction will be upon us.
Unlike climate science, there is no verifiable evidence supporting Christianity.
It was a consensus, predating modern science, based upon biblical "truths" and philosophical argument...not upon empirically tested facts.
The geocentric model was the science of the day. They even had observable evidence and mathematical models that confirmed it. Copernicus just questioned the science of the day and came up with a simpler model that explained the observations.
You want it both ways, you want science to question and learn new things, EXCEPT when it is your pet belief, AGW, then you want them to leave things be and accept the consensus. You are just as bad as those who condemned Copernicus and Galileo. You prove yet again how much you are a fundy.

And to say that "there is no verifiable evidence supporting Christianity" is astoundingly ignorant, like saying, "There is no verifiable evidence that George Washington was the first President of the United States."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
