> *** In his latest post, David says: "I like the majority opinion which is overwhelming." The words "evolution" and "global warming" come to mind. This is the first time I can recall you using "the majority opinion" as justification for your beliefs!-In the area of these discussion my learning is as an autodidact. My background in math is up to the point of analytic geometry, no calculus. I do not have the background of either Matt or Tony in the physical sciences. I have had physical chemistry nd basic physics in pre-med. As a result, my knowledge of particle physics, cosmology, the standard model, etc. comes from articles and books by accepted experts. The electric universe sounds and looks like some foreign skepticism from the stands way beyond left field. With my biologic background, a little study shows Darwin's ideas fit the knowledge of his time, but can't be dragged screaming into these times with so much in bioscience findings that say there is no way to synthesize it all coherently, using Darwin's theory as a base. As for global warming, Climategate emails put a rocket under climate skepticism allowing the whole world to see, when a little knowledge of past geology (which I have) knows this has all happened before to the Earth, and will happen again and again. Besides the climate foolishness is pushed by a usurped UN to try to squeeze money out of first world countries to be sent to third world countries, where most of the money will disappear fraudulently.
