In science the first rule is not too. Apparently you haven't learned that lesson.

For example ... your eyes will clearly tell you that the moon orbits the earth ... yet any astrophysicist will tell you that it doesn't.
so the earth orbits the moon?

the amount you can trust your eyes to tell the truth is dependent on the amount of actual data that you have.

technically, on a simplistic level, the moon does orbit the earth. its only when you get more specific that you get to the level that its both the earth and moon orbiting a center point. the fact that the point is underneith the earths crust just means that on an elementary level its sufficent to say the moon orbits the earth.

if you have suffient data then you can accept what the eyes are seeing.

if the data says that at 90 percent of the stations the level of the sea has not changed, and only in two stations, that happen to be on top of old river deltas, has the land to sea level change, then its sufficent to go by what the facts are in front of your eyes, rather than going by a political party that ignores the 90 percent and only uses the river delta station.

there have been several studies around the world, used to determine how much the land beneith cities are sinking compared to surrounding lands, that have had the data from the land that is sinking used to prove the sea is rising.

Louisiana is a good example. any geologist will tell you the land is sinking as the water from the mud deposited there by the river when it was a delta is forced out by the weight of the soil above it. yet where do global warming alarmist go to for proof that the sea is rising? Louisiana, of course.


the more man learns, the more he realises, he really does not know anything.
