Unfortunately, that's not something that science can know.

That's not evidence, that's you making a claim.

You clearly cannot present evidence for your claim, thus it is falsified as nothing more than a delusional claim. You cannot put up, so you should (at long last) shut up.

The pictures and proper pronunciation of names, who sites where and their public schedule for the meetings found after everything was done is not life shattering information.

Per the article, the papers were found around 9 am on Friday, August 15th. Considering that they covered events from 11:30 am to 5:45 pm on Friday, August 15th, I think it's pretty clear that they were not "found after everything was done". Media didn't report on it until after everything was done, but the time of reporting is not equivalent to the time when the documents were discovered. In part, I suspect that NPR held off on reporting this information immediately because it would have been irresponsible to do so. The President's movements are generally kept secret for security reasons.

No, they just treat it like the truest thing around at the time--which is not the same as absolute truth.

Even if you say that they don't do it openly, which is a WONDERFULLY transparent example of you giving yourself an exit ("Oh, but I didn't say they did it openly!"), you're still making the claim that scientists treat theories as absolute. That is your claim, and thus you need to present evidence for it or stop making the claim.

Put up or shut up.

It wasn't so much of a focus, though I could see it it might seem like that to the populist right, but just dumbitude. Elitist Democrats just don't care very much whether people are LGBT or not and don't really understand why anybody else would. Unfortunately, as a consequence they took initial resistance as nothing but the ranting of religious extremists and decided to dig their heels in. It didn't start out as a big issue for Dems, and they should have understood their constituents better and thrown LGBTs under the bus long ago.

I just learned that my niece has "married" another woman. Her sister is also lesbian & "married" to another woman. I've searched the Bible for information on this subject & only found scripture about practicing gay men not going to Heaven. Not sure about women. Any info on this subject is welcome. I can't speak to their mom/my sister on the subject because she hates me for voting for Trump but their salvation matters to me. None of them go to a Christian church.

Along with ... well ... read it yourself:

Public reception to the IAU decision was mixed.

A resolution introduced in the California State Assembly facetiously called the IAU decision a "scientific heresy".

The New Mexico House of Representatives passed a resolution in honor of Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto and a longtime resident of that state, that declared that Pluto will always be considered a planet while in New Mexican skies and that March 13, 2007, was Pluto Planet Day.

The Illinois Senate passed a similar resolution in 2009 on the basis that Tombaugh was born in Illinois. The resolution asserted that Pluto was "unfairly downgraded to a 'dwarf' planet" by the IAU."

Some members of the public have also rejected the change, citing the disagreement within the scientific community on the issue, or for sentimental reasons, maintaining that they have always known Pluto as a planet and will continue to do so regardless of the IAU decision.

In 2006, in its 17th annual words-of-the-year vote, the American Dialect Society voted plutoed as the word of the year. To "pluto" is to "demote or devalue someone or something".

In April 2024, Arizona (where Pluto was first discovered in 1930) passed a law naming Pluto as the official state planet.

And yet it seems that you take the demotion of Pluto as a personal slight because you bring it up every chance you get.

I also don't think I'm going to be tarred and feathered in Arizona or New Mexico for saying that the demotion of Pluto is REALLY that big of a deal since it really changes nothing.

And, once again, you made the claim that scientists treat theories as absolute fact. Please present an example.
