    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    What balance exactly? They excluded religion itself from being the basis on which law is made or judged. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion -in all real and practical sense and purposes, that excludes any religion from establishing itself in law or government and...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    Those 'biblical truths' were around long before the bible ever was. It is simply absurd to suggest English Common Law drew from any Biblical "Law". What Biblical Law? That you should be put to death for not observing the Sabbath, or children should be killed for disobeying their parents? Or...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    Yes, there was an obvious import reflecting religion laid upon some state constitutions, but not the majority. That's the point. It is a distortion and a factually untrue impression that America, its founding Colonies, were all constituted on religion, while in fact the majority of Colonies and...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    Surely the point of any thread's OP is to open up discussion and opinion! Until Jem does jump in with two hands and both feet along with his usual tired old repertoire of childish insults, maybe it would be more reasonable for you to consider directly the issues raised rather than trying to...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    By no means the majority but only some original colonies, fleeing from religious persecution, applied their own versions of religious persecution and discrimination as per the Delaware constitution. Most colonies gave no heed to any religious conditions or establishment, save for the then...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    "Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction." Thomas Jefferson Would seem to apply to John Adams' viewpoint.

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    The main topic is about the myth that American law is based on the Ten Commandments not that law evolves as cultures do. But you are right to say Magna Carta is about limiting the King' power. The same applies to the Constitution, in as far as it is similarly about limiting God's power, by not...

    The Bible isn't the original source of American law

    In reality this country was not founded upon Christianity or religion of any kind. First Amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion couldn't be clearer. No establishment of religion, Christianity or otherwise. The so called word of God has never been...

    Human-€induced climate change requires urgent action

    "One day after the United States said it would slash carbon emissions from existing power plants by 30% below 2005 levels, China, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, said it would set an absolute cap on its emissions by 2016." USA Today "China will continue to step up its efforts...

    Human-€induced climate change requires urgent action

    You're obviously expecting people to be as idiotic as you are being. It isn't in any way compelling and it certainly isn't science.

    Human-€induced climate change requires urgent action

    ...at the outer atmosphere, the thermosphere, is where it has that effect, not in the lower atmosphere. You didn’t know that, or are you 100% lying about it. While real science from NASA.. states unambiguously that... "A new NASA study underscores the fact that greenhouse gases generated by...

    Human-€induced climate change requires urgent action

    Nah, it's just you and other deniers that are wrong. As long as you keep imagining chickens don't cause eggs which don't cause chickens, y'all continue to be wrong.

    Only 6% of scientists vote Republican

    Precisely. If piezoe is being paid to post this stuff, people are going to be asking for their money back.

    Only 6% of scientists vote Republican

    As a scientist, why the hell would he suggest anyone is calculating ppm from multiplying the mole fraction (multiplying the result!) by a million? Did we shift over to parts per hundred thousand so as to not look like a measurable effect? Really, is that all this is. Trying to create confusion...

    Only 6% of scientists vote Republican

    I'm not trying to make you be unkind. I'm trying to make you be honest about basic known science. Both Woodcock and Salby have to submit papers if they have new or alternative ideas about measuring for CO2 or whatever. Neither have submitted any nor do they back up their assertions with data...

    Only 6% of scientists vote Republican

    No we don't agree. How come you don't understand the difference between concentration and quantity? Already pointed out, you can measure differing concentration due to variations in pressure and temperature and vapor dilution. Whereas mole fraction measurement in dry air gives a precise quantity...

    It's not nonsense just because you don't accept it. Factually untrue, here's why... To precisely determine quantity of CO2, it is the number of CO2 molecules per given number of air molecules after removal of water vapor. the chemical term being mole fraction. It's basic science...

    Only 6% of scientists vote Republican

    Could it just be an ideology that motivates his ridiculous non-scientific assertions? Or perhaps piezo has some thwarted career aspirations that left him unable to accommodate accepted 101 science which he appears to be in denial of. No offense to him, just guessing. Thing is there is nothing...
