Survival in Tough Times: Science is never settled. One can assert "facts," but the assertion still has to be proved every time. Science never trusts. It verifies.

Essential Science: Uniformitarianism


Essential Science: Uniformitarianism 'The present is the key to the past'I nearly became a geology major, but decided my abominable math skills would prevent any possible success. So to fulfill science and math requirements as an undergrad, I took geology, but not the notorious "Rocks for Jocks" classes. I took the intro sequence for geology majors. I wanted the real stuff.  It was a wonderful time to study geology in the middle 1970s. As in all my other classes, a full professor taught the classes and brought us many learned lectures three days of every week for an entire year. In that class I was able to expand my knowledge of glacial geology. The essay question on my last geology final was about glacial succession in New York state and out to Long Island. I predicted the question, prepared for it, and nailed it. Aced the class. Awesome!

Very well put! As always, science, that is real science not manufactured BS, tells the story. I will use the Uniformitism argument in my discussions with AGW climate change folks in the future. But I doubt it will change the mind of the truly Woke.

Bruce,
very interesting indeed! In our phone conversation, we spoke of the Precambrian Shield and its affect on our individual areas of residence. And you indicated how you didn't "take this for granite"...as some folks do... you applied true science.
Cecil (above) preempted my thoughts concerning the application of Uniformitism to the mind(lessness) of those AGW climate change types waiting for the sky to fall. Good call Mr. Chabot!
"Anon...anon" as Falstaff might atone.
Best,
James

Thoughtful reminder that science is never settled and ever evolving. If only universities and media would ask these questions.

Politically created "science" is for fear mongering or keeping your attention on something else while they get things moved around and messed up the way "they" want it, political "pseudo science".
