It’s the only plausible explanation” is NOT science

You are an idiot. It damn well is science. You want to challenge it you can. Just put forward another hypothesis and show that it is a better explanatory fit for the data than the preferred hypothesis. THAT is science, you nattering nabob of cluelessness. What is not science is folks like you sitting on the sidelines and jeering in favor of the powers of darkness and ignorance.

And just for those clueless twits who don't f'in get it. The catastrophic asteroid theory of dinosaur extinction was first put forward by a team of physicists and geophysicists including the great Luis Alvarez. They did incredibly careful work to find new data (including the observation of a layer of iridium, etc.) that lead to the formation of this hypothesis and its general acceptance. This is not global warming. It is based on the most careful science the best scientists in the world knew how to do. It is way way way over your pea brained comprehension.

There is a political point behind this highly personal attack. It is my belief that conservatism is the direct product of the enlightenment through our founding luminaries. It is not the product of ignorance, prejudice and idiocy, like you have expressed. There is no room in MY branch of conservatism for anti-scientific idiots because your kind of attitude leads people to revile conservatives and leads to the election of what we presently have.

This is not science. It is conjecture and speculation. It is a theory. It is unproven and cannot be duplicated in a lab. get a clue. It isn’t like what passes for science these days is a perfected science, is it?
How many articles have you read lately that the beginning of the second paragraph says science must now rethink what they have thought...or scientists were shocked and amazed...or that there could not possibly be water on the moon...or....

Anti-science is when someone says its “settled” and anyone who questions the “official” line is an idiot.

That is anti-science.

Uh. "Better" doesn't work in real science. An hypothesis must remain uncontradicted.

It's been way way too long since you've gotten laid. That's the only plausible explanation for this maniacal rant. Is my hypothesis science???

Didn’t Luis Alvarez play third base?
