Also wow. Who are you to say what are the capabilities of scientists to calculate anything

The fact that there are things with our climate, like solar output, cloud accumulation, etc that affect our climate that we cannot accurately simulate or predict at this time is why I can say what the capabilities of scientists are. The fact that if we currently had the capability to accurately calculate the causes of climate change and how our climate is affected, we would have models that fit within the confidence interval.

You do realize humans were able to deduce something as complex as relativity? We weren't so convinced of it until we sent satellites into space. The satellites had two clocks. One clock on Earth time and one adjusted for relativity, meaning because of the speed the satellite was traveling meant it would experience time just a fraction slower. Well relativity turned out to be the correct calculation.

Scientists have deduced the beginning of the universe down to a single point, the size of a golf ball. Don't ask me how, but I'll take the scientific consensus on the matter.

Neat. I'll never trust a scientific consensus that has abandoned using the scientific method.
