To hyper focus on one scandal in order to discredit a large body of scientific work suggests you have an agenda beyond seeking ultimate truth, whatever it may be.


its all political

I'll donate to the needy and poor here in my own country.

But thanks for playing the game that assumes conservatives are evil and selfish.

well complaining about helping poor people anywhere is selfish. But it is the american attitude of thinking we are somehow isolated from the world as a whole.

Their is nothing in our US Constitution that gives power to the federal government to tax the states and the people to redistribute our wealth and property to other nations as a form of welfare or climate justice.

We are a generous nation, and we do not object to helping people who fall victim to large natural tragedies, but this is nothing but theft and redistribution of wealth.

you fail to see that the actions of the rest of the world affect us also.

the big bang theory,is only a theory right? the actions of a few could have cause bad resualts for the work of thousands.what they must do is throw everything out and start over.we should not accept any theory that comes out of this tainted scientific work.send them back to the drawing board

Exactly, after all, if the research in question is simply a "small part" of the evidence shown to be in question, then they should be able to remove it and build from scratch their case.

There is a problem, they can't because the evidence in question is like a cancer that has grown into all of the other research. Remove it, and you essentially destroy the position concerning that other research.

They know it, which is why they do not specifically show such and point out that it is unrelated specifically. We know it because every time they attempt to claim "additional" evidence, we simply pull away the curtain and show it is using related evidence.

So, the end result is that they will swim in politics and deceit and rely on the ignorance of the public and fanatics to push their position.

Salem Witch Trials were no different. Funny how no matter how much time passes, some things always remain the same.

Why should we have to pay their share, though?
Because we can afford it?
Well, guess what? We can't.
We are a category 4 hurricane or 9-11 repeat away from bancrupcy/default.
