Apparently not.

But feel free to demonstrate your superior debating skills and the superiority of the atheist world-view by engaging in vulgar ad hominem. I'm sure that will work for you. As those vile Creationists say, civility in debate is so overrated.
My point, which you apparently missed when you got lost in the details, is that when debating someone, and they bring up something so wrong as the scientific community predicted global cooling in the 70s. You correct them with facts and try to show where their logic is flawed.
In this case the scientific community wasn't predicting global cooling in the 70s a few scientists were. The fact that few scientists got it wrong wasn't a problem with the scientific method. Rather a failure on their point to consider all the available data before they reached their conclusion. The latter being part of the issue with YECs. Their biggest problem though is conformation bias. For most YECs everything must be interpreted through the rose colored glasses of their goat herders mythology.
As far as my superior debate skills go I don't claim any. However since you are apparently so proud of yours perhaps you should take Poet's comment to heart and learn your logical fallacies before you start throwing them out there.
As far as my vulgarities go if you don't want to read the work fuck you are probably on the wrong forum. If you don't want to be called an asshole you should probably stop acting like one.
