Oh but such a thing wouldn't stop you Droopy. You very likely never read a single, solitary climate science book and have most likely never read a serious science book of any kind (you have no way or background context with which to criticize such subjects). You show no signs of the slightest ability to think scientifically and thus fall into expected cognitive traps like a bumbling circus clown.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

No thank you.


I sincerely doubt that Ludwig von Mises kissed Ayn Rand's ass on this or another occasion. I am not a follower of the Austrian School but I am not favorably impressed by your facile dismissals.

My goodness. That's a pretty conclusive ass kissing. Can't say I'm surprised. Thanks, EA.

Well, that settles it. He did kiss her ass.
