When someone says “the science is settled” one of two things is true: (1) they know better and are lying; or (2) they are deeply ignorant about the philosophy of science. |

Or (3), they are talking like normal human beings and by “settled” they mean the evidence is so strong it would be perverse to hark on the tiny fraction of a percent of the possibility that the claim is wrong.
The earth really is not flat, it really does orbit the sun and carbon dioxide really is a greenhouse gas. Not amount of freshman philosophy courses changes that.

wd400, you do not appear to understand the difference between data and scientific models. Do you seriously believe there is a tiny fraction of a percent possibility that the earth is flat or that it really orbits the sun?
Thank you for illustrating the point that materialists are so blinded by their religious commitments that they say crazy things like their theory to account for the facts (i.e., their scientific model) is the same as the facts themselves.

Yes. don’t you? If you don’t then is the science not indeed settled?
