Yes, but it sometimes necessitates some mental gymnastics depending on what area of science you're talking about.
Nope. What is usually the case is that a non-Christian will erroneously refer to merely speculative theories as "science," e.g. Darwin's theory of evolution, the Big Bang, etc. In such cases, the non-Christian makes the egregious fallacy of pretending that his personal belief/speculation is somehow thettled thienth. Warmizombies make this error routinely. There is no requirement for anyone to accept Darwin's theory. There is no requirement for anyone to accept the Big Bang or any other speculation about the past.
Basically, in the cases to which you wish to elude, you are the one making the error and being irrational. You really should learn what science is.
Hard to study evolution and be a Christian.
The people who you allow to do your thinking for you seriously fuck with your mind. You have been instructed to equate all Christians with "Young Earth" Evangelicals, who you believe comprise the set of "Conservatives."
First, as I mentioned above, Darwin's theory of evolution (and you need to specify Darwin's vs. other theories of evolution that exist) is not science. It is speculation about the past. Nobody has any sort of time machine with which to directly test the null hypothesis under the scientific method. Ergo, it
cannot be science. The same goes for the
Big Bang.
Or, at least it used to be before the Christian world retrofitted God into evolution via "intelligent design".
It's not a stretch. Christianity and Darwin's theory are not incompatible. Darwin's theory and "
Young Earth" Christianity
are incompatible because of the vast time spans required by Darwin's theory vs. the very limited time constraints permitted by the Young Earthers.
Assuming a non-Young-Earth Christian, one could easily attribute to God the reason for life having initially started, with life evolving from that point forward.
Well, maybe I'll just call it a "miracle" that way I, too, can disregard physics and biology!
This is an error in thinking on your part. Anyone can disregard Darwin's theory of evolution without abandoning science.
Nope. Never called it settled anything. Nobody that is informed about climate change would called it settled.
You don't speak for anyone but yourself. The world is awash in
Climate worshipers who are experts in their faith and who refer to the faith as
thettled thienth (but perhaps spelled a tad differently). You are free to deny that as well, but I am intimately familiar with the position that I have been discussing for more than two decades, with many, many people around the world, mostly in English but in other languages as well.
The actual phrase that is used is "high confidence".
The phrase "High Confidence" comes into play when I begin mocking warmizombies over their claims of what
Climate Change "says" and over the "predictions" it supposedly makes. This subject, moreso than any other, reveals underlying warmizombie stupidity like nothing else. The best way to explain is with an illustrative example.
Let's say I'm about to roll a six-sided die and I tell you that Global Warming predicts outcomes of events like these.
You ask: "Well, what number does
Global Warming predict you will roll next?"
I respond: "The IPCC Report say that they have a 'High Confidence' that a '2' could be rolled."
You ask: "So you are saying that you are going to roll a '2'?"
I respond: "I am Highly Confident that a '2' is a definite possibility."
You ask: "You said that
Global Warming predicts these kinds of events. What does
Global Warming predict that you will roll next?"
I respond: "I told you that I am Highly Confident that I could roll a '2'."
You reply: "Of course you could roll a '2'. You could roll any number between '1' and '6'."
I respond: "But my confidence in '2' being possibly rolled is so much higher than it is for some of the other possibilities claimed."
You ask: "How is a '2' being a possibility not a definite certainty, and is instead only a matter of High Confidence?"
I respond "You can't just ignore the complex science of
Climate Change and just disregard the other possibilities."
You reply: "So you must therefore have 'High Confidence' that a '4' is possible as well, right?"
I respond: "Well '4' is a unique case that comes with its own strong assurances that it could happen as well. But that's not saying that it carries the same High Confidence that its possibility assures might not even happen.
... After I roll, you say to me "I thought you predicted that a '2' would come up." I respond: "I never said that.
Global Warming had always predicted that I would roll a '5'."
All
Climate Change "predictions" are purely after-the-fact and are thus 100% accurate. Any attempts to get a prediction prior to an event will result in absurd banter centered around "confidence" levels of things being possible. It's totally stupid.
You, and others, continue to prove how uninformed you are about anything beyond the side of the topic that you want to believe.
Thank you for emphasizing that
Global Warming and
Climate Change are all about what one wishes to believe. Thank you for ensuring that science is, in no way, related to this topic.
The fact that you and Into the Night are wrongly applying the laws of thermodynamics
Thermodynamics applies always, everywhere. You can't get around it. Your religion violates thermodynamics egregiously. You're religion is hosed. I feel sorry for you.
I didn't believe Covid was serious initially and I didn't believe in global warming when it was first presented as an issue.
... but then your slave-masters weighed in and told you what to believe ... and you OBEYED. Your mind was changed for you on Covid and on Climate Change.
I'm not 100% sold, but it seems more likely than not, based on what I know, that CO2 and other greenhouse gases can cause warming.
Nope. You have been taught why none of it is possible. You became sold on your religion when you were promised that your unquestioning faith would transform you into a thienth geniuth. Unfortunately, the result sees you denying science that goes against your religion's miracles.
You and Into the Night, on the other hand, believe that you are the only ones who have discovered the truth about how the laws of thermodynamics are being violated.
This statement is erroneous and requires unpacking. First,
Into the Night and I are aware of many people who understand thermodynamics, and neither of us pretends that we are somehow the only ones who recognize violations of such. Second, there is no "truth" that we have somehow discovered about thermodynamics by observing the repeated errors of warmizombies. Third, you are not the only scientifically illiterate and mathematically incompetent warmizombie to make the errors you make; you are only the most recent in a long line of warmizombies going back decades that run through the exact same cycle of shifting semantics in order to nimbly leap between physics violations.
You've also labeled as parlor tricks multiple video demonstrations of CO2 absorbing infrared light and containers containing CO2 increasing in temperature.
Yes. The trick is in getting the viewing audience to draw the wrong conclusion, which you have done. You watch a candle's narrow emission band match CO2's absorption signature and you conclude ... wait for it ... that the sun cannot heat oxygen or nitrogen. The technical words for that are "stupid" and "gullible." You notice that the parlor trick is never performed in direct sunlight, allowing the sun the "represent" the sun, and you fall for it. The technical words for that ... oh, nevermind, I already covered that.
Basically you've both had to repeatedly executed various levels of mental gymnastics to convince yourselves that the entirety of the science community are ignoring physics violations
Basically, you have repeatedly executed mental gymnastics to delude yourself into believing that your congregation and religious clergy are somehow the science community. It isn't. Your religion recruits the world's stupidest, most scientifically illiterate and the most gullible and convinces them that their devotion to
Climate Change will make them theinth geniutheth and
Climate Justice superheroes. Look, you fell for it. You are right to be embarrassed.
I'm not shifting the burden at all.
Yes, you have never stopped trying to shift your burden onto others. You are affirmatively claiming
Global Warming. You bear the full burden to support it. That means you need to account for the
additional energy that causes the increase in temperature. You have never done so. You have only thrown around buzzwords in apparent descriptions of energy redistributions ... but claiming that redistributions performed by your magical greenhouse substance somehow magically result in there being more energy, seemingly created out of nothing. You never account for the additional energy as you are obligated; you only manage to scream that you never said that energy is being created out of nothing. I'm sorry, but until you account for the additional energy, either it is being created out of nothing, or there is no increase in temperature. Pick your poison.
If you and Into the Night believe that you are the only ones ...
I can't speak for
Into the Night, but I don't believe there is anything new here for me to be the only one to know. There is nothing to see here ... move along, move along ... show's ov-ah!
You bear the full burden to support your affirmative claims. You have not accounted for the additional energy. You have not met your burden.
