The beauty of science is that humankind's knowledge adapts as our understanding of the problem grows. That's the difference between "science" and "blind dogma". More data and more time means a more accurate understanding of the phenomenon. It's sorta like when Girolamo Fracastoro's "seed like entity" theory "failed" and so they changed it to the "germ theory" when a better understanding of microbiology was developed. Or, over a longer period of time, how Aristotle's theories of motion "failed" and with further understanding from the likes of Copernicus, Kepler, Gallileo, and Newton, "they" changed it to Gravity.
I realize that no one can be reasoned out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into, but... still and all, it's a bit baffling.
I am curious though. What's the benefit to continuing to pour our hard-earned money into OPEC nations, rather than developing safe and clean and renewable sources here at home? ...and what do German subsidies and the poor business practices of German manufacturers have to do with... well, anything?
“Falconry is not a hobby or an amusement; it is a rage. You eat and drink it, sleep it and think it. You tremble to write of it, even in recollection. It is as King James the First remarked, an extreme stirrer up of passions.” --T.H. White, The Godstone and the Blackymor
"The world must be all fucked up when men travel first class and literature goes as freight."
