First off...I have more important things to do than sit around a message board replying to gullible, misguided dimwits and *try* like you have (ad nauseam) to make myself appear to be more intelligent than those I disagree with...
Secondly...I have some news for you...The ONLY thing that is "cutsie" in this entire thread is *your* failed and misguided attempts to make anyone with differing views than you appear to be inferior intellectually...IMO...mentioning the word intellectual and anything you have posted is a contradiction of terms...
Just how many of those "thousands" of *experts* (climate scientists) make their living off entities that would have no business at all if AGW was proven to be the myth that it may very well may be?
If you think about it long enough you *may* be able to figure out what "science is the belief in the ignorance of experts" means...obviously to date it's beyond your comprehension abilities (regardless of your lame attempts to prove otherwise)...
And FYI...I have never made any correlation to faith/religion and the current climate change/season shift we are experiencing...
I think you owe us an explanation of your understanding of Feynman's quote : "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts"? As a misguided inferior dimwit, I am still wondering what you think the quotation you used out of context means and how it is relevant to the discussion. Oh do please enlighten us with your wisdom.
In case you have never read his talk to the National Science Teachers Association, here is a link: What Is Science?
Though I still don't know what you think the quote refers to, I think you will be enlightened by reading the talk. It is quite good and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Again, while your out of context quote might be popular in dittohead circles, it is interesting to read the last paragraph of his talk which remarkably is relevant to this discussion of faith (biblical wisdom) vs science (experimental inquiry) as a means of answering difficult questions regarding climate change. Here is a quote from his summary: "Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation." So, to help you along, it appears that your little quote is not intended as a put down or denigration of science at all but rather a warning to question uncritical acceptance of faith based information (I presume you believe those who wrote the bible to be greatest teachers of preceding generations). Perhaps we shouldn't just accept that dinosaurs were wiped out by Noah's great flood without seeking further proof from beyond the Bible.
And, FYI, I don't recall ever saying you made any correlation between religion and climate change denial. One of the other posters (Madmax) did and that was what I addressed in my initial question and subsequent posts. You just jumped in with your dimwit post and just couldn't wait to use your Feynman quote, apparently thinking it was a real put down. Nice try.
