I agree with your point of view on just about everything. I was just objecting to the use of the word fact. I make a point of doing this. The AGW believers hate me for calling it a belief, and the AGW deniers hate me for believing in AGW. I must be doing something right!
Your words about models and inductive reasoning are helpful. Bringing that up in the future will probably help clarify my position, which is about like yours. Thanks.
- js8 11y agoYeah, I think you should just call it a model or scientific theory (although both of these may be confusing terms for laymen) and not be too picky about people calling it "fact" (I think there is no point arguing with people you share beliefs with). We also often informally call gravity a "fact", although technically it's just a theory too.
