Which debate? The one regarding over-population, climate change or the global recession?
All of them.

padraic Wrote:In science no debate is ever truly over. Everything remains open to question. Neither is anyone under any obligation to accept anything you say or to even try to understand anything you assert. That people do not agree with your perception does not imply they don't understand,it only implies they don't agree. To argue a person disagrees because they don't understand is an ad hominem attack,a basic logical fallacy.
What is 1 +1 =
Is the world Flat?
Is the Sun the Centre of our Solar System?
Is there a suppermassive blackhole at the centre of our galaxy?
It is common fact amoung scientists that the debate is over. If a person is unable to understand this, their reasoning skills maybe flawed.

That is not the same as a certainty. Science does not ague absolutes. Nor indeed do any of the social sciences. I can't remember any of my sociology or anthropology professors ever arguing any position as simply a fact.
Do you consider wiki a relevant source of information, as it is only other peoples opinions. We all have opinions.
g-mark Wrote:]There are literally millions of sources. Including scientific journals. It is taught today at University as part of Sociology classes. It is common fact.
padraic Wrote:Argument from authority,not proof.There is no such thing as "THE" sociological perspective". There are several basic schools ,and several models within each school,often providing different explanations. The only reliable thing about "common facts" 'is that they are as likely to be wrong as correct.
Why do Sociologists work for the government? We are measured as a whole, and policies are implemented this way. Sociology Class at University will show you this.
Please cite evidence for your assertions.
