My point was not about climate change at all, or at least only glancingly. It was about the appalling scientific ignorance of the politicians who mandate what is to be taught in our schools. They have mistakenly written 'astrological' when they presumably (one would absolutely hope - unless they want children taught that climate change is due to the sun being on the cusp of Aries and Sagittarius) meant 'astronomy'. 'Thermological' makes absolutely no sense in that context either, since it mainly relates to medical imaging. And then they voted this into law. And thermology is not a proven medical imaging procedure anyhow.

Science is great at producing technology. But science, with it's methodological reliance on induction, can never produce truth. Truth comes only by revelation, and understanding by deduction from God's revealed truth.

Thanks for this Bravus, pretty interesting. Who wanted this so bad to be taught in the public school system? pk

Can never produce truth? Really? Never? Perhaps you would like to revise that.

Hey, Laz.... Ever notice that when TRMS is put up in a link that has some very good commentary on one of the conservatives subjects....they seem to become quiet.....Oooooooooooooooooooo! We have already discussed this on this thread. You think Maddow's caviling somehow makes the discussion different? We also discussed judgmentalism on another thread. Why judgemental? 'Cos it allows us to feel better than other people... Not noble, but human... You mean, like, more sophisticated than those doofus legislators in South Dakota who decided it has not been proven that Gorebal warming is a man-made phenomenon?

And you *still* completely missed the point, on the other thread as well. It was nothing to do with their attitude to climate change. It was that they passed a bill mandating the teaching of astrology in schools. I mean sure, people make mistakes, but no-one, anywhere in the processes involved in getting a bill proposed and voted on, picked it up. And you, apparently, are having trouble with it too.
