Hank ★☆☆☆☆ (77)	Scientists say that greenhouse gases increase the earth's temperature around 33 degrees C and otherwise the earth would be frozen like Mars. Do the deniers here accept that or do you think the scientists are wrong about that also?

Meanwhile no scientists believe in violations of physics. Do the warmizombies and climate lemmings on this site accept Stefan-Boltzmann? . Well first of all I didn't say it I was just asking a question. Since this is going nowhere and I doubt it will but I will ask one more. What is your definition of a scientist? I can't speak for others but I accept the Stefan-Boltzmann law if that's what you are talking about because the experts in that field say it's true. Just like people accept what I say about the field I'm an expert in.

That's about the stupidest reason for accepting science I have ever heard. Because a person told you that it is true? Really? Science is based on its inherent truth, not on what anyone says. There is no consensus in science. Science is not determined by democratic vote. No one's opinion is considered. No one's approval is required for science to be created and no one gets a veto. Science is a collection of falsifiable models. Falsifiable. That means that any and all people are free to verify for themselves any model to their desired confidence level. Any and all people are free to prove any model false if possible. Why don't you accept Jesus as your lord and savior? I assure you that experts in Christianity will assure you that it's absolutely true that Jesus died for your sins. Accepting some relationship about nature based on someone telling you that it's true is absolutely absurd. So, when Stefan-Boltzman destroys your "greenhouse effect" beliefs, are you going to pout that you no longer accept it? Is your acceptance of science based only on whether it supports your WACKY religion? By the way, you run a circular argument when you use the tabloid word "experts." Who do you accept as an expert? Why someone who worships your religion. Do you accept me as an expert? No. Why not? Because I don't accept your WACKY religion. Basically you seek to subvert science under your religious dogma and you fight with people like myself who simply try to help you with science.

No one's approval is required for science to be created and no one gets a veto. Actually in this day and time when there is so much knowledge about so many things the stupidest thing is when someone thinks they can understand everything about everything. Science is based on the consensus of the evidence. There is no inherent truth in science since science cannot prove anything. What's accepted as factual today might be overturned tomorrow as it has been in the past. However there are some theories that are so well established by the evidence that overturning them is considered remote. IBdaMann wrote: Science is a collection of falsifiable models. Falsifiable. That means that any and all people are free to verify for themselves any model to their desired confidence level. Any and all people are free to prove any model false if possible. Any and all people are free to show any model false but it's stupid for someone who doesn't have the science and math background to attempt to falsify something they don't understand. Just like it's stupid for someone to self-diagnosis themselves with a heart problem or any other complicated medical problem if they don't have proper medical training. But it's true that people are free to be stupid. IBdaMann wrote: Why don't you accept Jesus as your lord and savior? I assure you that experts in Christianity will assure you that it's absolutely true that Jesus died for your sins. Accepting some relationship about nature based on someone telling you that it's true is absolutely absurd. How do you know I don't. But if I do it's because of belief not science which is completely different. Science is based on knowledge and evidence, not beliefs. IBdaMann wrote: So, when Stefan-Boltzman destroys your "greenhouse effect" beliefs, are you going to pout that you no longer accept it? Is your acceptance of science based only on whether it supports your WACKY religion? As I said I'm not knowledgeable enough about that field to accept what one person tells me about it. But if a preponderance of scientific experts in that field say the Stefan-Boltzman law 'destroys' the greenhouse effect I would accept that. Just like if 1 Oncologists ran test and said I was fine but 20 other Oncologists ran test and said I would die without an operation, I would have the operation because I would accept their expertise. IBdaMann wrote: By the way, you run a circular argument when you use the tabloid word "experts." Who do you accept as an expert? Why someone who worships your religion. Do you accept me as an expert? No. Why not? Because I don't accept your WACKY religion. I attended an accredited university and have 30 years of experience in my field that has been validated by the structures I have designed withstanding the forces they were designed for and I am accepted by my peers as an expert in my field. I'm perfectly capable of looking at someone's credentials, their life work and the acceptance of their peers to determine whether I should accept them as an expert or not. I would extend you the same curtesy if you wanted to show me the evidence. There is a legitimate reason structures in the United States are not approved unless they are designed by a Registered Professional Structural Engineer. And that's because only Structural Engineers are knowledgeable enough in that field to safely determine how the structure should be built. And that goes for a lot of fields. IBdaMann wrote: Basically you seek to subvert science under your religious dogma and you fight with people like myself who simply try to help you with science. Well I don't feel like I'm fighting with you but just having a discussion. And I appreciate the intent but I'm going to stick with the experts in the field for the reasons I explained above. But if you are interested in providing me with the evidence of your knowledge and experience in this field I'll certainly consider it. Hank wrote:Just like people accept what I say about the field I'm an expert in. IBdaMann wrote: What "field" would that be? Structural Engineering. So what about you? Are you an expert in any field or fields?

No model can ever be "confirmed." I shouldn't have to explain this to you again. All you, I or anyone else needs to know is that: 1. It is clearly falsifiable 2. It has survived a rigorous scientific method 3. No supporting evidence involved. I, personally, have not been able to show it to be false. Have you?

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Consensus is important because it tells us what the accepted scientific models and theories are. It is not all-knowing, certainly not any more than the rest of science is. But it's useful because it is a slightly-less-volatile representation of modern science.

Someone sounds like a grumpy prescriptivist who's watching the world constantly changing, yelling at it to stop. Words mean what people use by them. Science is most often used to mean an endeavor, a process, a method, plus possibly the body of knowledge (data, theories, laws, models). Even scientists use this definition. jwoodward48 wrote: If you don't agree to everything I say, you must not want to discuss anything.

No thanks. It's not "adopting my religion" to use the words the way EVERYBODY ELSE does. You don't get to speak for everybody else. You only get to speak for you . A dictionary is not a philosophy book. It is not a science book. It is not a logic book. It is not an authoritative reference of meanings at all. No dictionary owns the language. Just for fun, let's try to turn the dictionary into an economics text. How does he Oxford dictionary define 'income tax'? Once you have looked that up, look up the definition in the same dictionary for 'income'. Then answer these questions: Is 'income' money I receive from a regular salary? Is 'income' the money received by a corporation? Is 'income' money I receive from a friend paying a no interest loan back? Is it 'income' when my friend borrows the money in the first place? Is 'income' money I received from a single win on a slot machine, or do I get to subtract my losses (which are greater) from playing slot machines? I can't document the losses, slot machines provide any way to do that. How do I determine taxes? Is 'income' money a bank teller receives to deposit into your account? Does the bank owe taxes for it? Is 'income' the money I receive in change for the purchase of an item? Is 'income' the money the government receives as a result of taxing my income? ALL of these satisfy the definition of 'income'.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Look, this is beside the point. The OED doesn't matter so much as the fact that the vast majority of websites, professors I ask, and definitions in books saying that "science is a process". This isn't science - it's linguistics. And while science isn't democratic, word meanings are. The meaning of "science" is what people mean when they say "science". No more and no less. Your definition may be used by some people, but mine is in common use. Let's go with it. And your claim that "science is a process" is part of my "WACKY religion"? It's not. I'm using the definition of science that is used by everyone else. If it's religious to use accepted definitions, then praise the Lord Linguistics. Edited on 23-09-2016 01:24
