Another account must be made so they don't get the last word

silliest thing I got banned for was saying the word "damn".
And not
even
in a rude way, probably something like "the damn weather is
awful
today".
Turns out the admin was a religious nutter.

Yeah, I got the same thing from another religious nutter for
using the term "hell of a lot", not a moderator in that case.

You have to wonder how far we would be today if religion had not
impeded
science.

Do you know who first formulated the Big Bang theory? Ever here of
Gregor Mendel? Blaise Pascal?

Quite a few scientists manage to have a foot in both worlds. In
general
the Catholics seem more flexible than the Protestants,
particularly the
'gimme that old time religion' branch.

In the past the two were heavily tied together... but that is no
longer the
case. There are still some religious scientists, but scientists
tend to be
atheist at a higher level than the general public. They also tend
to be more
liberal, which makes sense given how at least in the US
conservatives tend to
reject our best evidence.

Scientists are liberal because they want funding for free.

Plenty of them don't, they work for industry.

Right. But even the ones that work for the petroleum industry stopped
their
denial of man-made global climate change.

No they didnt and plenty who do deny man-made
global climate change arent paid to do that.

They did drop their denial.

Nope, plenty didnt.

Here is their current page on the topic:

https://www.api.org/oil-and-natural-...climate-change

There isnt just one group of them.

As far as those who deny it, there are about 70 scientists people point
to,
many of them dead, and several of whom are not even experts in the field.

What matters is the evidence with science, not individuals.

At this point there is no internationally recognized scientific group that
still denies the evidence.

Science isnt about voting. At one time the vast majority
of scientists denied free radicals but then the evidence
showed that they are real.
