You know something has reached the status of a religion when a person will refuse to believe anything else no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented.
I had a conversation with a person the other day about global warming. I brought up the fact that the same scientists who were so sure that CO2 is the cause of global cooling and who were declaring an ice age 40 years ago are now the ones saying it causes warming. Well it either causes or warming or cooling, but not both. This of course was not well received. All that matters is that we stop creating CO2. Forget about the trees that need it. Forget about the fact that it only makes up 3/1000's of a percent of the atmosphere that that we only contribute 1/1000th of that 3/1000's. this means that we are affecting the atmosphere of the earth with CO2 by only 3 parts out of a million planet wide. Yet we are causing a drastic turn in weather.
I would postulate that if you could prove that we were heading for an ice age unless we burned all the fossil fuel we could find and create all the CO2 we could by whatever means necessary to avert it that people would still stand in the way of doing so. This is because it is not science it is now a religion. People simply can't go against their religion or at least they won't.
It has already been proven that the scientists who have been trying to shove this religion down our throats were making up the numbers and cooking the books so to speak. Yet people will not leave this behind. If we have the coldest temperatures world wide in almost a 100 years, what do people say? It's because of global warming. It doesn't matter what kind of logic it defies this is the answer for all of man's doings on the earth. Things are cooler because of warming. With this logic the best thing you could do on a hot summer day is turn the heat up in your house to over 100 degrees then so you can cool it off. Or if it happens to be winter turn the heat down as low as it will go and leave all the doors and windows open so you can get your house nice and toasty.
For some reason people will immediate recognize how absurd this is but will still continue to stick to their tired reasoning that this is exactly what is happening on earth.
Let's use a little common sense people. Don't let yourself be intimidated into silence, or worse yet agreement with the politically correct global warms just because it sounds compassionate. Expose the absurdity of their arguments! They don't base what they are saying on either real science or common sense. The scientists have already admitted they were lying so they could continue to get more funding. As always it's all about the money.
Most people today are too young to remember the days of gas frenzy and the long waiting lines in the 1970's. We were told, again by scientists that there was only enough oil left in the whole world to last 30 years at the most and thus began the gas panic. Well here we are 40 years later and there is no word whatever that we are squeezing out the last drops of oil in the world so that we can drive a few more miles.
It is amazing how quickly the media and the scientists want to drop such things as these because if they bring them up it means we may not trust the high priests of the religion of science.
Yes to a large degree I believe science has become very much like a religion. Does this mean that science has nothing to offer? By no means, but at the same time we should not think of scientists as being altruistic people motivated only by logic and research. The church has had a bad reputation for a very long time for not believing the world was round and going after scientists who said it was, well the same mindset now exists only in the opposite direction. It is now scientists who are lying to us and they go after anyone with a vengeance who dares question their edicts.
Scientists are no more above being questioned in the pronouncements than are pastors or priests. If they are found to be wrong we should not continue to believe these prophets. We should not continue to seek them out for further oracles. If they are found to be corrupt and not stating the facts as they are, but making them up then we should pay them no mind.
Many are still so bitter at the church and religion that they are more than willing to stand solidly behind science no matter how absurd their declaration. Show the same skepticism toward scientists that you are willing to show toward the church. Question honestly your scientists as much as you question the church.
