My point is that as soon as the topic shifts to something they know they won't entirely loose at, they swarm like a pack of hungry sharks. It's just an interesting observation is all, makes one think that they know they don't have a winning argument in the science department but they just won't admit it.

your argument concerning "the science" has been answered over, and over, and over and over, and over again. that is why I made the comparison to the terminator---it (referring to your absolutely mind-boggling inability to either see, or accept that) just wont die.

as to the other material that you see as "shifting" the topic---nothing exists in isolation. its all a part, and a very meaningful part at that, of the conversation.

and consider an alternative reading to your present position of the reason for the "shifting"---people can only beat their head against the wall so often before they want to stop.

Maybe he thinks that if 2 scientists say something that is must be true? If 5 view it and 3 agree and 2 disagree then the 3 must be true. I don't know. Just my impression.

Noooooooo.

If a scientist says something and it agrees with his worldview than it must be true.

Ya because you know, linking to conservative websites and blogs is "answering", sure. The only thing you've demonstrated is how you think it's a political issue, not a scientific one. Word of advice: jump onto Google scholar or some other research based search engine and find some honest to god research, because the stuff you've supplied is so biased it's not even funny.

Hardly, conservative websites have a tendency to ignore the science altogether. Plus even if it was a liberal site with no links to the source material they're talking about is equally as bad of a source. If you can't reference it in a scientific peer reviewed paper, then your source, whether liberal or conservative, isn't legitimate.

What's funny is you claiming someone else is making this into a political issue while you whine and deny any website that leans to the right. And if you don't believe me just ask him....

Perhaps if you took the blinkers off and stopped trying to see every thing as left vs right you might be able to have an intelligent conversation but I am not holding my breath.
