A flat surface can neither heat nor cool. Therefore, global lukewarming is occuring.

"A flat surface can neither heat nor cool."
That is my evidence.
My claim is that global lukewarming is occuring.

No, that's a claim.  You need to provide evidence that it's correct (you won't be able to because it isn't, obviously) before you can justifiably use it to make another claim.

We don't demand that you have the same level of scientific understanding as we do to post here, but we do at least appreciate a basic understanding of English vocabulary.  Come back when you've got a better grasp on it.

A claim is that a flat surface can neither heat nor cool.  Evidence is explaining why flat surfaces can neither heat not cool.  Evidence that' your claim is not true can be found in just about any kitchen.

Holding unorthodox beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and throwing out centuries of repeatable experimental and observational evidence in order to do so, very much equates to stupidity.
So global warming believers and religious people are stupid? Well, that makes it a bit easier, since now we can dismiss the majority of the world as possible authorities on anything.

If there is overwhelming evidence against global warming, then to believe it is stupid.
If there is overwhelming evidence against a religion's teachings, then to believe it is stupid.
If there is overwhelming evidence against anything, then to believe it is stupid.
If you disagree, give an example of something there is overwhelming evidence for that is provably false. It can't be done, because the existence of overwhelming evidence is only possible if something is not false.

Newton's directly contradicts the equations of relativity and vice versa.  The standard model does not accurately explain relativistic interactions and vice versa.  They are all obviously not all true, or we would have a ToE.  They are obviously each incorrect as they have direct contradictions to them in experimentation and data as well as large areas where they do or do not apply.  Each has overwhelming evidence for it, and they all can't be true.

Actually, they can contradict each other and still be right, within certain parameters.  Newtonian mechanics can be true when relativistic issues are of no concern, the Standard Model can be true at subatomic scales and GR can be true at macroscopic scales.  None of these theories are considered to be a ToE but are very useful within their respective domains.  Now String Theory (or M Theory as some call it) is a different story.

So Newton mechanics can be true within a falsehood?  Thats perhaps useful, but it says nothing to the point or its actual validity.

The standard model and GR can both be true at macroscopic scales, perhaps, but they are not at present time. 

String theory is the movement of science away from hard science and into pure zeteticism due to its constant hatred (from social and political concerns) of the philosophy that supposedly backs science.

Obviously they are useful in their domain.  The clear point was that this is irrelevant as it is not the "truth" of the matter, but the truth up to our understanding.  If any of these theories were true it is likely that we would have little need for science at all.

Actually, string theory is about as far away as you can get from zeteticism. The principles behind it don't come from any physical observations, it is entirely (at least right now) within the realm of mathematics.

I completely agree with this. String theory is the natural heir to the Pythagorean number cult. An interesting mathematical construct with no interest in reconciling this systemic-belief with observation. It makes no predictions, only claims that it is "elegant". So was Pythagorean cosmology, but I find it no more compelling.
I consider most such talk (brane cosmology, M-theory, etc) a vain attempt to reconcile our unlikely Anthropic position without invoking a deity.

I use "pure zeteticism" as an attempt to point out that it attempts to talk mathematically about a  set of phenomenae without real concern about the mechanisms involved, save from colourful commentary in paperbacks.  Its a model made to describe data and not curiousity, and in that way, its zetetic.'  It is also much of a movement against the philosophical backings of science and in many ways this movement shares parallels with zeteticism.

In a much more definitive way, it is clearly not 'purely zetetic'.  I should have stated what I meant.
