"100% of all climate change models have been wrong" Yes, in the same way that 100% of the directions of every airplane is wrong and does not lead exactly toward the proper destination. Flight is a constant adjustment and readjustment to a perfect, hypothetical flight plan from origin to destination which is to say that the actual flight plan is, by definition, a model . The actual flight plan based on that model is always wrong - due to wind, wind speed, weather patterns, the rotation of the earth, etc - which is why constant adjustment is required to reach the destination. Clearly, the general direction of the model is correct, evidenced by the fact that airplanes operated by professional pilots almost never mistakenly land at an improper destination. Likewise, no climate change model is going to be 100% accurate in its predictions, but clearly as every chart of any meaningful data shows, global atmospheric and oceanic temperatures are rising, the rise is caused by an unn

This explains the current political wars of ideology. The non-engaged majority is simply being drowned out by the engaged minority with a bigger megaphone. This is a sign of the virus adapting to the evolutionary pressures of the modern consciousness environment. Yell louder. Dig your heels in firmer. Utilize fear over rationality. Because fear is what the virus is. That is the adapter that the phage engages to pass its code into a cell, just like fear of the unknown is the key to opening the door that unlocks consciousness to accepting the virus into its set of rules that are the basis for judging reality. This fear is the cause for the adherence to the ideologies of "going back to the safer times and ways of the past" and reluctance to adapt to change going forward. That reluctance to accept reality is what leads to rejection of reason and science, rejection of alternative genders, rejection of women having consent of their own bodies, and to embracing the illogical of the

It is a common practice for atheists to try and attach ID to some form of religion in hopes that their argument against religion will somehow apply to ID by association... This is done out of desperation, and yours is one of the most determined attempts I have ever seen to do that... It will not ever work... ever! Nice try though... I see that you believe that ID is not a religion. You clearly have not studied the issue objectively, because ID has been shown, even in a court of law, to be a form of religious ideology, not limited to fundamentalist Christianity. to sum up: 1) You are claiming to invoke a diety or supernatural intelligence - which is, as of today, completely undetectable by any means of measurement ever invented - deliberately manipulating the universe down to the quantum level to bring about desired changes, and 2) You think that the invocation of said intelligence is the more rational decision than assuming a natural cause for any changes. That's b
