Isn’t math considered a science?

“I cringe every time I hear arguments for creationism, as these arguments ignore too much evidence to go against scientifically provable timelines.”

Opens with a (correct) quote that science isn’t about proof, then goes on to talk nonsense about things being “scientifically provable”.

Lefty’s are EXTREMELY good at election math.
At least in years divisible by 4.

It's not the question or the answer or any of the facts in between, it's how you can make people feel about it to make it politically useful.
That's how Science works for the Left.

"A large number of people who previously didn't now have insurance. That was the goal. That was the success. Period. Full stop."

Success? The truth is a large number of people who had health insurance were pulled off their plans.

Fifteen million people we were told had no health insurance and that was the given reason for pulling why millions of others were knocked off their plans.

Somehow after the Obamascare implementation insurance companies are rethinking their involvement because they are losing a lot of money and ay least one is trying to figure out how to disengage themselves from ACA.

So, after all the calamity dust settles, there still are 5 million people who don't have health insurance.

All that money and pain for 15 million people who had the ability to walk into any emergency room and get care when they absolutely needed it.

Give me a fleeping break.

Liberals hate math.

Bjorn Lomborg’s critique of global warming and environmental issues, “The Skeptical Environmentalist” was largely based in statistics, and he was quite viciously attacked.

It reminded me of the persecutions of Galileo and later of Ignaz Semmelweis.

indeed;

And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.”

So how long were days 1 through 3? How could there be vegetation on day 3 when no sun till day 4?

No, math is the “language of science”, but not a science itself.

Thanks, I think I understand. Somewhere I heard that science was debatable and conclusions were flexible. I didn’t think that sounded right. But, with math there is no debate, right?

Liberal claim to believe in evolution, but object to letting it work.

The ordinal structure of existence is one of the greatest arguments for God.

I find it interesting that leftists pride themselves on being pragmatic and pro-science when they so viciously reject mathematics at every turn.

Discovering causal connections between an object's nature and its actions is the way to produce inductive generalizations that can be considered objective knowledge. Mathematics is the language for expressing causal connections in the world.

Leftist hate and ignore science when it does not support their political views. Just like math. They are political creatures that should be living in trees eating bananas. It is easy to understand their point of view by just adopting the mindset you had when you were about 17 years old.

The perception that conservatives are anti-science and liberals/left are pro-science is one of the most amazing slight of hands the propagandist dominant media culture has ever pulled off.

It’s absurd on the face of it. Liberals and the left have been Malthusian with regard to new technologies and advances with their anti-industry, anti-capitalist and superstitious beliefs.

“Liberal claim to believe in evolution, but object to letting it work.”

I believe in non sequiturs but don’t have time to refute them all.
