I love it CanMan!!!


On a serious note I will try and aquire where I heard the 4 million yr. theory and pass that info on to you when I get it.

On another note: most of what I said yesterday was me simply rambling on in an utterly sarcastic non-sencical way about global warming:rolleyes:

Well- be that as it may Cathy- your opinion matters. And when it comes right down to it, you're likely as credible of an authority as anyone is. Seems even the powers that be rely on a lot of guess work, and all of it is disputable on some level. So don't discount your individual views!

Thanks CAG!!! That is a fact about not many folks agreeing on any one view!

I totally agree and drink to that one. I'm a nerdy type and I prefer to seek out my own facts and answers and bypass all the political, religious, cults, and other posturing. "Science" is supposed to be the same way, but since many get funding from those posturing people, well you know, so you have to work around and through that stuff to get to the real answers.

Knowledge is something that is there for anyone to seek out if you want it, but not everyone wants it and are content to live without it.

But to some degree, unless we're all out there taking soil samples, running rock particles thru an autoclave and sending our own daily potty samples through a defuser and peering at it thru a mircoscope, the "research" we do basically just amounts to reading others' ideas and findings online, doesn't it? I mean- how many of us "seek out our own facts" in any way other than searching online? Is any of it truly devoid of someone's motived bias? Who has the time to run to the poles, camp in the dessert, run from university to university to sit-in on seminars and studies, and to fill their own test-tubes and petri-dishes, to weigh the facts of whether global warming exists or not?
