The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[Huggy Bear]

Oh no you don't, you dishonest fuck. Your point wasn't that scientists sometimes get things wrong. That goes without saying, and no one would argue with that. Scientists spend their whole careers trying to prove themselves wrong.

According to "science" a meteor hit the planet and caused an extinction level event, and also according to scientific calculations, the hydrogen bomb was supposed to do the same thing, except it didn't. Must I go through all the cases where science has proven to be wrong?

If the Bible backtracked as much as "science" does, I defiantly wouldn't believe in it.

You were trying to discredit science by saying science backtracked from a consensus.

What part of speaking off the top of my head don't you understand.
This is what I said?

also according to scientific calculations, the hydrogen bomb was supposed to do the same thing (destroy the planet), except it didn't.

Is that statement true or false?

Your whole point was that science thought the H-Bomb was going to destroy the world, and you posted that blurb to prove that point.

my actual quote was "according to scientific calculations". Again, is that statement true or false?

The rest of the blurb revealed with clarity that "science" did not in fact accept that hypothesis. One man made a claim and his colleagues tested it and proved it wrong. Moreover Teller's motivation for making that hypothesis was a very real part of his assertion.

One scientist being wrong happens every day, and pointing that out does absolutely nothing to serve your original point.

It would seem that he wasn't the only on to make the same error.

It was later discovered his calculations were wrong -- and a dozen other men made similar mistakes later -- but work stopped until the flaw was found.
