  1. Not a science article, but a general overall summary of what is agreed by scientists that will happen. http://climate.nasa.gov/effects/
  2. Good to know for future reference :]
  3. News headline is the worst source of scientific information one can turn to. Sounds like something a conspiracy theorist would say lol
  4. Surely you've never done a single research on this topic - it has been confirmed by countless observations. Creationism isn't a theory, it's a complete load of bunk - scientifically speaking. There is a difference between 'true' and 'fact' - check 'em. And yes, theory and fact are similar - not 100% the same, but very similar.
  5. Well similar anyway. I was referring to theory and fact in a scientific term. Theory: an explanation of some aspect of the observed natural world that incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. Fact: an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as "true".
  6. Well if you don't understand what the data is telling you, misinterpretation is likely. Fact and theory are the same thing in scientific community.
  7. I accidently quoted myself in one of the threads (double posted as a result) - is there a way to delete it or will we have to ask a mod to remove it?
  8. Damn I mistakenly quote myself - how do I delete this post?
  9. Scientific process requires independent thoughts to quantitfy the data to speak for itself. A fact is something that REQUIRES consensus - that is, independent groups of scientists replicating the exact same experiments to ensure that the result obtained is consistent with all other data obtained from different groups. That's how the 'fact' that vaccine caused autism was rebuke - because the scientists couldn't reach a consensus after multiple experimental attempts failed to replicate the original. The effect and model of climate change has reached a general consensus because different designs of models have been shown the same thing in different part of the world.
  10. Well you're being told that the models don't represent reality, but it does. Of course, you'll get variations among different models, but the general pattern shown in different models by different authors are eerily similar.
  11. There is no evidence that the corruption in Quebec has anything to do with the NDP donation. Which by the way, may I point out, has paid back without sending Election Canada through the whole court process. Let's contrasts that with the countless of illegal donations that the Conservatives have done, refusing to pay back and been taking Election Canada to court each time. It seems that while the NDP are willing to work with Election Canada, the Cons does not. Also, you do realize that the corruption in Quebec has reached the conservative Prime Minister Office?
  12. I guess those protesting Muslims never heard of 'ad block' for the internet?
  13. It's a classic behaviour among climate-change denialist that TimG displayed.
  14. Wouldn't it make more sense for the humanitarian boat to dock at Port Said (with permission from Egypt of course) then travel east-north to Rafah crossing (that borders Egypt and Gaza)? I must be missing something here.
  15. Well one can contradict that study with another study as shown below "Conservatives whiny and insecure: study" from The Sun, a conservative news site. http://www.torontosun.com/2011/12/05/conservatives-whiny-and-insecure-study
  16. Doesn't explain why CBC shows an article of the 'far left' Ontario NDP launching an anti-prorogation campaign in response to McGuinty actions.
  17. Finally I have came across a forum that I can call home.

      Thanks Dog and Greg :]

  18. 3 Baruch (was rejected from the voting committee to be part of the bible) claims that there is no need to build temples on Earth because the temple is preserved in heaven and is attended by angels. Another mentioning of 3 Baruch was "-Hades who drinks from the sea". HADES! The Greek god of the underworld. Now what would a mythical Greek god be doing among the candidate books contesting to be the word of god? That implies there would be more than 1 god which would contradict all the other books claiming there is only one god. Interesting no? If the ancient mythological gods are finding their way into the contest to be part of the bible, one would think the bible is becoming the 21st century version of the Greek religion. It is curious to observe how the idea of what is called the christian church, sprung out of the tail of ancient mythology. A direct incorporation took place in the first instance, by making the reputed founder to be celestially begotten. The trinity of gods that then followed was no other than a reduction of the former plurality, which was about twenty or thirty thousands. The statue of Mary succeeded the statue of Diana of Ephesus. The deification of heroes changes into the canonization of saints. The old religions had gods for everything, the christian have saints for everything. The church became crowded with the one, as the pantheon has been with the other; and Rome was the place of both. The christian belief is little else than the idolatry of the ancient religions, accommodated to the purpose of power and revenue.
  19. Guess you can't justify not looking into appropriate sources without contradicting your dogmatic views :]
  20. Doesn't it seem rather strange that the creation of the bible originated from number people voting on which series of books should or should not make up the word of god? The bible itself is a lot younger than people realize, it was essentially compiled into one book 200 years after Jesus's birth.
  21. 'Seems to'? In other words...you haven't read what you call 'evidence'.
  22. I found this place didn't I? I can wiki the word 'blog' ya know. lol do you even read what you wrote? Science is blind when it comes to ideologies.
  23. I do not read inappropriate 'peer review' or inappropriate 'scientific journals'. A blog is not consider an appropriate source of scientific information. It is clear to me that you have absolutely no understanding in finding scientific information.
