    Christians are anti-science.

    Yep. And? They're not the only ones.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Unfortunately for you, I see through your bullshit.

    None of what was claimed is provable via scientific method. But, hey if you want to believe in man made global warming be my guest. That is what makes you one of those "principled" conservatives or something
    Science isn't a 'method' or a 'procedure'. It has no proofs. Proofs only exist in closed functional systems like mathematics or logic. Science is an open functional system.

    That said, science DOES have something to say about CO2's affect on the temperature of the Earth. CO2 is not capable of warming the Earth, and neither is any other gas or vapor. It is simply not possible to create energy out of nothing, and it is not possible to heat an already warmer surface using a colder gas.

    The only way to make the Earth warmer is to increase the output of the Sun, or to bring Earth closer to the Sun. The laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law is pretty straightforward. You can't trap heat. You can't trap thermal energy. There is always heat. You can't trap light. You can't create energy out of nothing. You can't decrease entropy in any system.

    The Church of Global Warming denies these theories of science. It also denies mathematics (namely, statistical and probability mathematics, as well as random number mathematics). This is a fundamentalist style religion. There is no convincing such people. They will deny everything to maintain their belief.

    So, you wish to deny science. Right? You would rather claim politics over science.

    Different religions often have at least one god (but is not required to have any). All religions are based upon some initial circular argument, with arguments extending from that.

    Examples: Jupiter, Apollo, Wotan, Gaia, Jesus Christ, Allah, Kaze, various forms of Shinto demons including those observed by some American indians, including those claiming to inhabit some most everyday objects such as money, crystals or other stones, liquids such as water or oil, or gaseous composites like air.

    This is the definition I use. Perhaps you have a different one to offer?

    Better line up your post election therapist early. There's going to be a real shortage of them after the election.

    I wouldn't have an "excuse," because regular people aren't like you. But if he does win, it will only be with the electoral college again. There's no way he will win the popular vote.

    But I'm confident he'll lose because Americans are fatigued by him.

    You're retarded. Go away.

    You're missing the point of my criticism. "God" is such a nebulous term that it's essentially meaningless. One person's definition of "god" is as arbitrary as another's.

    No. That would be you when you deny science in favor of GOP policies.

    No matter how many lies Trump spouts at the debate on Tuesday, no matter how many childish attacks he launches or how many fits of rage he has when Biden bests him, you'll think he won the debate. And when he loses the election, you'll be convinced that it was due to cheating on some level.

    Yes. Trump will win because of the electoral college, and only because of the electoral college. The President is not elected by popular vote.
