hey bfornaro, if you had property in Japan (just saying) and your land was now underwater, would you simply accept it?

[bfornaro]

Why does the fact that the earth is warming piss people off so much? Its happening, accept it and stop politicizing and hating. I live in the Northeast. As a child I skated all winter. A white Christmas was ordinary. Now we rarely have a snow And when it does happen, it occurs in record amounts. Things have been absolutely out of whack for at least ten years. The effects are most extraordinary at the poles but gradually creep further. Keep fiddling while the planet prepares to burn.

@Time0Travel what is global worming? well I'm glad you asked!

global worming is a proven fact that humans are releasing to much co2 and methane gases into the atmosphere. now what happens is the atmosphere absorbs and gets heated from the infrared radiation from these gases. and you know what happens next? the atmosphere re-radiates infrared radiation in all directions!

enough of it goes to earth to cause harm. now for homework i want you to re educate yourself on the scientific method!

Believing something that doesn't require evidence for you is like is complete bullshit. In fact there is a word for accepting blind statements without proof. Dogma. And there is a word for believing they don't require evidence to be believable. Indoctrinated.

@frog1599

And what happens if science and religion intersect? You said God created all animals, so you obviously don't believe in evolution. Does your creationism win simply because it doesn't have to be proven? Seems like a lousy excuse for the inability to prove it, and the ability to prove evolution which gives it more verisimilitude.

@frog1599

Yes it does. Otherwise it's simply an irrational thought. With no verity to it. You said God created all animals. The fact that this is a belief does not render it true. The only way to render a statement like that true is to prove it.

You wouldn't believe stuff like "the Earth is shaped like a cubicle"? If someone does, you'd think him irrational. Him saying "it's just a belief" doesn't make it any less stupid or irrational.

@frog1599

The negative here is "there is no God" or "you can't speak Russian". It is impossible to prove these things. that does not mean you can speak Russian. it doesn't mean you can't either, but it's just as ridiculous to assume you can on the premise of not being able to prove the negative.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@frog1599

The same goes for God. So based on your TOK and my inability to prove a negative of an unfalsifiable hypothesis, why do you believe in God, but not in global warming?

[frog1599]

@SSTTEEAALLTTHH I understand where you're going with it being impossible to prove a negative. However, what is your definition of "a negative" in this context?
