The global warming thread makes me think of something that's been on
my mind lately. That is that scientists talk of their theories as if
they were fact. It's annoying, and I think that sceintists should
learn from the mistakes of their past. (The earth is not flat.)

I saw a program on the latest find of a prehistoric human like fossil
in Ethiopia. Evolution of man following the theory that they presented
was presented as a fact. Same with doctors. They have very limited
understanding of how the human body works, but they present their
theories as fact. Anyone for a bleeding?

I'm not supporting any one mode of thought, I even think that it's
good for our leaders to be advised by scientists. Understanding that
science deals in theory and hypothesis is most important.
