redjambo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Where religion and science meet , science has no middle ground when it comes to facts. Speaking as someone who supports science, scientific facts are admittedly evidence-based and sometimes such evidence is inconclusive (there is not a black and white distinction between facts and non-facts, there is only a measure of probability that a specific scientific theory is correct). I would say that is science's middle ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember reading a book called "Nature's End" in which it speculates that nature will start to manifest a "regurgitation" period in which all types of weather pattern anomalies will be more prevalent. Also that in the future the natural order of things will be that fecked up that a massive die back through lack of resources and food will be the primary tool of nature as we know it ceasing to function in the way it is meant to.
