Re: One place to start is William Gray
if everyone has to have certifications in everything they know about then most of the people on this thread would have to find other hobbies.

Mud slinging and human responses
randman writes:
What do you guys make of Hurricane Epsilon? It should have weakened being over cold water. It doesn't fit the models.
Yes, this is true. I read a bit about the storm, here.
Randman, from what I understand, the science of weather is always evolving and is yet not an absolute science. Whenever a ""model" is made, it is a prediction based on the typical storm.
randman writes:
The storms defied the current models and we cannot yet explain their behaviour in certain areas.
True. Here in Denver, there is often a local storm that appears as an upper level disturbance or some other unforseen occurrance. The forecasters say "Gosh, Folks...we didnt see this one coming!" My conclusion? Weather can STILL be unpredictable.
randman writes:
Of course, it is a growing and learning area of science, but these 2 hurricanes were shockers, and they are trying to figure out how to incorporate their behaviour for future models.
Yes...this is job security if you are a meteorologist!
Mark Twain had a lot to say about the weather. Funny guy, that humorist!
Speaking of funny guys, I am somewhat bemused by the comments being winged from all sides in this discussion. Since it was you that started the thread, Randman, I feel as if I must address you first. You start the thread by asking

You then get feisty rather quickly...it seems as if we were in third grade and I was the teacher
I would have to put your desk over here and put Jars desk way over there!
After everyone gives their "opinions" of Hurricane Epsilon, you then say that
randman, referring to Jar writes:
But since I started out in a manner threatening to him, he denies those same basic facts.
Now.. there have been many random attacks on the person rather than the position in this discussion. To wit:
Grow up and start learning before mouthing off stupidity.
Then you either can't read well or are lying.
you can't act like a normal human being and discuss a news story without lying
is this going to be yet another thread of vague silly sophomoric assertions of incredulity?
That was the post of a simpleton.
This simply violates the spirit of our forum----attacking the person rather than the position is a NO NO!
Oddly enough, Im leaving this thread alone only because our ratings need to go up and we could use a good mud-slinging thread....but maybe we should start a thread specifically for mud slinging and not "diss" each other in our nice little CoffeeHouse!
Too much caffeine??
P.S. Hangdawg, im'na hafta break it down, yo!

Heb 4:12-13-- For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Re: Mud slinging and human responses
Basically, those were reactions to some rather absurd comments by jar and others as a result of their sensing some sort of ulteriour motive against their belief systems.
I pretty much started the thread just to hear what other people had to say, but had to deal with childish absurdity, as usual I might add, from jar.
May not fit the models of IDist, Creationists, Alien Abductees, Pyramidologists, readers of Ouija boards and other such groups, the it seems to fit the models used to predict it's path.
I mean what was that all about. It wasn't even something controversial I had posted. I merely stated something anyone following this would have known, that this storms broke the models.
But jar insists:
Actually, I do read and pay attention. Living where I do reading all the information from National Hurricane Center is a must. Every day is minimal but every update par for the course when there's a storm. These two storms were driven by exactly the same forces as every other hurricane, and fit well within the limits of all five of the different models used.
Basically, jar started totally unreasonable attacks, completely unprovoked, and for no reason. He even admitted later that had he not thought I had some ulterior motive, he would have agreed with what I am saying.
It's not wise to be so contentious, but at the same time, I have very little respect for a man that argues agaist facts he knows are true just because he is afraid of the agenda of the other person.

Re: Mud slinging and human responses
fine, let's look at what I said.
jar writes:

So far since it's inception, the National Hurricane Center has published prdictions on the path of the hurricane extending out up top five days.
If the hurricane did not follow the models that they use, then they would not have been able to publish those predictions.
They did.

See above.
Sorry Charlie. These two storms are no more unusual than the 1954-1955 Hurricane Alice. They are a "That's interesting?" moment, certainly events we will learn from, but the rest of your stuff, that they will lead to fundamental revisions of meterology or your even more outlandish idea of them being human generated are tin-foil hat material.
randman, we welcome your continued postings here at EvC. It's important for folk like you and buz and Faith and WILLOWTREE to continue so that the public is constantly reminded that there is a large segment of the population that are totally incapable or reasoned or rational thought.

Hey, bud, blinded by the beam in your own eye, just remember, when you point the judgemental finger at people you disagree with, those three are right back at you. It's people like you with comments like this that mess up threads and inflame controversy. Randman is right. You're impossible to work with in amiable dialog, except with likeminded members.

Well jar, I would say it is important for you to post here except the public doesn't really need to be reminded that some people are liars.

None of this is constructive. Please refrain from this sort of reciprocal bad-mouthing. AdminNWR has already warned you all. Unless this thread gets back on topic, and becomes free from personal insults, it may not have much of a future.
