I think a disproven theory is dumped in the scientific community, no room for opinion on it's validity once that happens.

Darwin (by that I mean the Theory of Natual Selection i.e. evolution) has NEVER been disproven. If you believe otherwise then you are mistaken.

Okay, already. . .I stand corrected. Some of his conclusions have been brought into serious question, though, even by the all holy scientific community! Sheesh, you guys are tough.
Believe it or not, I agree with some of Darwin's theory even though I am a Christian. The two do not HAVE to be mutually exclusive. A quote by Charles Darwin:
Quote:

Darwin confessed, "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

There is a great deal in this world that defies explanation by the science that we know. I like to keep all my options open.
Kenny, when I'm wrong, I admit it. I am not wrong. I have come to no definitive conclusion other than to say that what we have done in the past through our own short-sightedness has had an effect on our planet. I am still withholding judgment on the ultimate cause of Global warming. You, however, have closed your mind to any other conclusions or data that might be significant if they do not agree with your own viewpoint. The fact that you have quoted a very definitely left leaning media source tells me that you are doing the same thing that you've accused the general populace of doing and that is following the hype. If someone quotes a source that you perceive to be right leaning, you ridicule them and tell them they are wrong. Yet, there is scientific truth in what they are saying as well.
The TRUE Scientific Process is continually reevaluating the conclusions drawn, no matter what the theory.
