991880: You don't study history much, do you? Check meteorological records. Check global rainfall data. Check Volcanic data. Check oceanic temperature charts. ALL current data is vastly different from the time when such records were first established. There's nothing cyclical about current global patterns.

But: you go right ahead and believe the smiling jackass that predicts your local weather! And... pay attention to how often he/she states that an old record has been surpassed.

1054784: 99% of "science" is based upon perception and not absolute proof. That's why the vast majority of scientific evidence is actually referred to as theory.... including Einstein's famed treatis on time/space relativity. Man's scientific understanding is CONSTANTLY being adjusted to incorporate new knowledge which isn't really new at all. It's merely understood more clearly and then shaped into a format that the masses can comprehend.

BTW: logic is also based upon personal perception. So is truth.
