I agree 100%, if I come off as high and mighty it's not my intention, more of a side effect of frustration because I keep hearing the same crap over and over again from people who haven't taken the time to do the actual research on something that they are so certain is wrong to the point of repeating the same already dealt with and debunked points over and over and over again....

On global warming I've never claimed a 100% consensus and I doubt any credible scientists have as well, the last figures were 97% of scientists who are involved in climate science or a related field and who are members of the National Academy of Sciences are in agreement that climate change is a fact and that humans are a major contributing factor.

I must disagree with you on the science and engineering being equally responsible with religion when it comes to warfare. Religion has been carrying out wars in the name of God and saving souls by dispatching them to the afterlife long before there even was such a thing as science, saying that they bear equal responsibility is just nonsense. In this day and age one could argue that point but the past speaks for itself and as you've pointed out many times yourself, one could argue anything.
