Because all humans are made in the image of God…

That he does.

It's a good thing you're a woman since @Lionfish AKA Legina the Snitch Bitch is hitting on all the eligible men on the forum. Legina looooooves dick. The thicker, longer, harder and more veined, the better.

It's like a woman who is always talking about her boobs and how lonely she is. It's obviously a plea for men to talk to her. Same with Legina.

time until someone comes running to Legina's rescue: 10...9...8...

Evolution is about as likely as a tornado completely assembling a Boeing 777. Both are statistically impossible.

That's a fallacy. Example: Boeing planes don't reproduce.

Are you saying God is dumb?

Timothy 3:16;All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

oh you suddenly agree with god and scripture now? What do you say about this then???

@FastLane, @T. A. Gardner and to a lesser extent @Damocles all really struggle to understand science and what "scientific theory' is.

At no point, NONE, is the science on a theory closed to new evidence, especially as technology and man's comprehension of ever more science advances.

That our knowledge grows as newer and better telescopes travel deeper into space and our prior theories may be updated or invalidated does not mean that we mock the scientists as wrong and say they should not be trusted.

This is one of the biggest issues with this Trump age of the poorly educated, ala Marjorie Greene types, who will never defer to any expert because they read stuff on the internet.

Agreed. But when science can't get something right repeatedly over decades, it's time to question whether that science should be turned into a political option that costs a nation billions upon billions, even a trillion or more in costs with little surety of return on that investment.

For example, climate scientists for the most part downplay the role of contrails in climate change. The fix for these is cheap, easily implemented, and could be measured. Yet, they downplay these in favor of CO2 which requires massive investments, massive social changes, and lots of money to implement but is politically favored for just those reasons.

My point is, and was, that climate science is far more about politics than science at the moment, and that's a huge problem. I for one, am opposed to using pseudoscience to further politics. When climate scientists, et al., can demonstrate a reasonably viable level of accuracy in their predictions, I can begin to consider being onboard with their science. Until then, they're no different than Scientology to me.
