    ’s like asserting that because I can’t give the scientific explanation for why the grass is green, it must not be, while I am pointing at the grass on the ground and showing you its color.

    Your analogy is false. We have as much data as we want that grass is green. We have no data about the future since it hasn’t happened yet. To predict the future to any degree we have to look at trends of the past and apply the scientific method to it.

    Again, it’s up to you to be willing to accept the reality in front of you

    Ok your Cassandra/Jeremiah routine is wearing thin.

    Choose wisely. Your family depends on it.

    Bifurcation, and FUD.

      Tautology. Circular reasoning, if you will.
