“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”.

Because they lie about everything.

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.

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.

The step where much of modern “science” fails, but gets glossed over and ignored.
(Which means the scientific method is not being followed.)

Leftists are the masters of the science of propaganda, brainwashing and deception.

The left ignores science about abortion since a DNA test prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the mother and preborn child are separate, individual human beings.

With liberals and leftists the result is not important. It is the intent.

Did LBJ's "War On Poverty" end up making the lives of the most of the people it was intended to help a lot worse? Sure, but it doesn't matter. The Dems were trying to help those people. That's what counted.

Apparently, the medical axiom for doctors as far as treating patients "first do no harm" is not known by liberals. Because every time they step in with a program, they make things worse.

Wow, is that ever true. No sense of timeline, scale, proportion or ratio. None. They look at results that qualify as Six Sigma (within 1% of goal) and faint because a handful of persons out of 315,000,000 are affected. It's sickening.

It used to be "All gave some; some gave all"; but these post-Marxist entitlement morons not only don't give any; they take more than their share and refuse to do the math.

Math is hard, science is easy (for a liberal). All they need to settle science is take a vote.
