Stlhd,
Why would we ever need to prove the majority of sceintists wrong. That's ridiculous, since they can't prove they are right. What is needed, is scientific evidence that either questions the validity of their conclusions, or a valid alternative philosophy. Absent that, you are right, we might as well be arguing for the easter bunny. All sceince would be unusable, since at one time the majority of scientists believed in creationism, and that has never been proven to be wrong. What has happened is that a ever growing number of scientists presented valid arguements agianst creationism and hard evidence for other theories. Over time, it appears as if the prevailing theory of Darwin evolution may be losing steam. At any time science may present a better and more precise theory. If we required existing theories to be disproven, nothing would ever change. In the case of the Federal Way School District, they were simply requiring that a alternative theory be presented. While you may not think that one exists, that is only your opinion. Even if the other side only pokes holes at the prevailing Global Warming Theory, if these are done with science, I have no problem with that. Most of you heard the sound bites of the idiot ranting about religion and how it applied to the Global Warming theory. A closer look shows that more than one parent objected, and that, even if the guy on the news arguing was being an idiot, the fact is that other sides do exist. If you want, I will try to dig up some opposing veiws and post them. You won't believe them. I may not beleive them. But they still may have validity in opening up conversations regarding alternative theories and holes in the present theory. Only time will truely show who is right. It is prudent to make efforts to stop Global Warming, but in the end it could be proven that all our efforts were either in vain or not needed.
