science or religion, page-33

Moby,
I beg to differ.Theories can be generally accepted and work empirically.

The implication of Declaring the Science "Settled" on something is to say that it cannot be challenged, that it is a fact.That is the practical implication.

When Prime Minister Rudd declared the science settled on climate change he implied that it was now beyond question.
He was taking to himself a power generally reserved for popes and prophets.

Whatever the merits of his and your beliefs he pissed me and a lot of other people off. Who gave him this power. He is not the messiah.
