Unfortunately, as it turns out I am less credible than a website with the following tagline:

The next ice age could begin any day.

Next week, next month, next year, it's not a question of if, only when.
One day you'll wake up - or you won't wake up, rather - buried beneath nine stories of snow. It's all part of a dependable, predictable cycle, a natural cycle that returns like clockwork every 11,500 years.

. . And since the last ice age ended almost exactly 11,500 years ago . .



As paul stated some people have a very hard time sticking to the topic so they attempt to criticize the individual. They wouldn't dare in real life because it would land them five across the lips in most cases.

DM,

For many people the truth is intolerable...
Those who seek the truth shall find it as
one person long ago in history said it.

Regards...

Just sorry it ended the way it did.

So, thank you, to those who made excellent contributions to the thread.

I did not realize threads on this subject resulted in eventually being closed. I'm fairly new to the forum really. I apologize for my naivety. But, it is not so much the subject matter I think, it is the ratcheting unrelated to the topic.

Be well, everyone!
I am a TRF loyalist!

(Mods, you may close this thread also, if you so wish. Thank you.)
I've been taking more of a reading role on the forum but as a philosophy major, I completely agree with the sentiment. Especially those who are not just sophist but actually try to debate as a way of discerning truth in the ilk of Socrates and Plato. Philosophy is often defined in a hard way as the science of reason, math is built on philosophy, physics upon math, chemistry upon physics, biology upon chemistry. Modern philosophy is a bit softer but I think it will return as the meta-philosophical impacts of string theory are both important and not yet fully understood.

They're idiots! Everyone knows it's a dodecahedron. That's why there's 12 months in the year.

The earth is flat. If it wasn’t then the people on the other side would fall into space. Duh!

I am learning!
Thanks guys.

No judgement meant. There are many “3rd rail” topics with widely divergent opinions to choose from...

I know, Paul. No worries.
I only quoted you because it was the last posting that it could be doomed.

I'm trying to be optimistic.
