And how does science not make these assumptions? What assumptions are these, by your standard, non-scientific people making? Do you not believe we can draw so much information from ice? Is that the problem for you?
eh... you completely missed the point... Science Doesn't Make Any Assumptions... go read that secret you posted... science is about knowing and ordering the physical universe... science should never be based on assumptions...
why do i not believe we can draw that much information from those ice samples? 1. we don't know how those samples were made (as in, what conditions.) 2. we don't know if anything in those samples has changed in the last "800,000" years...
3. another reason i don't agree with that article... it tells of massive amounts of more carbon dioxide which is supposed to mean lower temperatures in the past... but did you notice that if carbon dioxide and lower temperatures actually correlate in the way that the article suggest that it means that the temperature/environment 800,000 years ago was much Colder than now - to the point that it would actually be worse for living organisms than the current temperature...
or, if any of the above reasons do not satisfy, how bout this... that ice was made in the ICE AGE... yes, that does mean more carbon dioxide and lower temps... but doesn't even begin to show some sort of bad temperature progressoin....
"...800,000 years ago, let alone determine the earth is that old"
Now let's examine this little diddy here. So you must be presuming that perhaps the earth isn't as old as many people have said. Therefore, you might believe there is another theory out there that better explains the origins of the earth -> ergo, sum...cut the bullshit, you dont believe in a lot of sciences, but the bible is what you may trust. Which leads me to think you know little of what science is and does.
this is silly. what i said is that i did not presume the earth to be 800,000 years old. That doesn't mean that i presume is anything. That doesn't mean i presume its 4500 yrs or 4.5 billion years old. That doesn't mean I believe in a literal interpretation of the bible, or that i subscribe to any other theory. It just means, i don't necesarily agree with thier article.
Don't try to tell me this is just a warming period either. If you're going to ignore science one minute, and then call it back for your defense, you've get little ground to stand on.
Science has not been recording temperatures for very long. In fact, the ability to measure changes in temperatures hasn't been around for all that long. Definately not for long enough to espablish an earth old pattern.
Who Invented the Thermometer - Fahrenheit Celsius and Kelvin Scales.
Yes, its true, the northern hemisphere is 1.2345678 degrees warmer than it was 50 years ago and yes we do have hole in the ozone layer over antartica that may or may not have been there 100 years ago... but no "science" has shown that the earth has been progressively getting warmer for xxxxxxx years and that we are the cause.
worried? go plant a tree and never eat at mcdonald's again...
if not? live life as you always have...
