Just accept it and maybe you'll actually learn something.



Isn't this exact statement what made you post this thread complaining about religion?



No. Scientific claims are of a very different nature than mythical/religious ones.

You can be right or wrong on scientific facts, but that rightness/wrongness only extends to the realm of science. Science is far from perfect, it is our incomplete understanding of the universe. But it is still a system built on observed and recorded evidence, linked by reason and logic. Even though Science's scope is limited, each piece of the puzzle is substantiated (and this is why we can create otherwise unimaginable technology).

In your case, you are horribly wrong because you tried to make an argument in the realm of science. That means you have to actually use facts and strong logic-based arguments to support your conclusions. That's why creationism is not accepted as a scientific theory, because there is nothing scientific about it. But of course science can never disprove God planted dinosaur bones into the ground 5000 years ago.

Your claim that the current warming trend is just a natural cycle is not too far off from creationism. There is little to no supporting evidence.
