[Janice D. Soderling]

You can't claim that science and Government are wrong when you disagree with their conclusions and turn around and cite them as authority when you do agree with them regarding the same related subject.

Of course you can. Both "science" and "Government" are abstract terms and are whatever you define them as.

No one has claimed that either are infallible. Therefore something that is "government" can be both right and wrong. Also science. You just have to say exactly what scientific source or what government source you are referring to.

My objection to your reasoning, Charlie, if I may respectfully say so, is that you do not really state your premises in such a way that that they can be verified or disproved.

It reminds me of a debate I watched the other night between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6kgvhG3AkI

Ham never said anything that could be proved. When cornered he just fell back on his standard proof, the Bible. And of course for him that trumps everything else. As I think it does for you. So this thread is a pseuo-debate and leads nowhere.

Everybody go on an Easter egg hunt instead. Or eat some chocolate. Or write a poem. Or read the dictionary.

Best I think would be to read the dictionary while eating chocolate. That's what I'd do, but I don't have any chocolate in the house.
