"I assume the theory is that a Creator exists outside our known limitations."
but a creator would have had to been created, it has to start somewhere.
"Any answer we accept is one of faith and we should not judge others for their conclusions to unanswerable questions without clear answers." of course we should judge anyone who says "God did it" as an answer, perhaps "judge" is the wrong word, ridicule might be better. If there is no answer yet, you can't just assign it to a being that has no probability of existing. Its just lazy at best.
"So I use scientific principles in a domain that science rejects."
i don't think you should have said that, its at odds with being a "trained scientist". Can you prove what you perceive in order to humiliate the real scientists? The world is waiting for "proofs" from the homeopathic "scientists".
Why don't you put your real name to your slander of Michael Mann in the open by writing a letter to the Washington Post and state he's a fraud and/or committing fraud. (and copy him in so he knows you've written and its been published.)
"enthusiast" vs "scientist with tons of data" - i know whose word i'd take.
"A lot of what I read is very one-sided" - if it is produced by the real scientists then you can't argue with the data but if its Heartland Inst. derived data then your "Both sides of this argument cherry pick scientific data/evidence to support their opinion." comment is only relevant to the Heartland Inst.
Sounds like you come from a faith-based environment and don't rely on data backed up by facts.
Whilst there are industry backed opposition using groups like Heartland so disseminate FUD about the climate change (and science), its going to be a long hard battle because there are loads of people who believe without looking at proof. You can see the effects when deniers say "we didn't cause the global warming" instead realising we are guilty of accelerating it. Usual lack of comprehension due to either "head in sand" or listening to Republican politicians that have shown a complete lack of understanding of science due to their God grovelling

If you had those beliefs, you probably would not be working for NASA as you'd be dangerous

God screws up all the time producing babies that are deformed or mentally damaged.
", we should be trying to spread the Good News. "
yes, the Good News is we don't need superstition anymore as we don't approve of genocide, homophobia, etc etc. We've moved on from the dark dark ages.
"Would a Biologist be fired for liking Windows over *nix?"
of course he would, it would show he couldn't think straight,.
Maybe he didn't fix the bugs and put in a popup when errors occur saying something like "Don't worry, God'll keep you safe - i've prayed for you"
Already done......

Has anyone told Apple, Microsoft or Oracle its not patented yet?
No, its because it was too complicated for God to do.

"God-given brain" - the brain is not given by a god

Stop talking sense, its no use here on /.

they should have been a lot more specific and say "Windows PC" as the Mac is a Personal Computer as well.
Solved by nuclear power plants if politicians had the balls to get rid of the coal ones
