Add to that, we can actually observe evolution today, there are many papers on this and the data can be replicated again and again. It is, in no way, equivalent to something like Creationism. |

Since we know that the natural environment has changed greatly over the ages, and we know that all life is not extinct, then it is a logical fact that life had to adapt (change, evolve) over that time. |

In other words, using the "it's too complicated to be natural" argument is a total non-starter. We know lifeforms change over time, particularly in context to environmental pressures. The amount of time available for life to evolve on Earth, in conjunction with the shear number of micro-environments, imposes no limitation on the "complicated" lifeforms we see today. A billion years ago, the most complex lifeform was a single cell, or perhaps a few dozen at most. |

Something that always intrigued me, and always got sneers from my teachers...was when I asked about Church, money, and Jesus.
People go to church, as a santuary for Worship. Churches, exist to be money making places of worship...Preachers, in general at larger churches, are fairly well-to-do...and draw a substantial income. Churches rely on the congregation for cheap professional repairs, and maintenance....not only through the Deacons, but through the general congregation. Why is it that...if a church is supposed to be there solely for worship, and preachers are supposed to be enlightened souls...that the money flows so heavily from the members, and into the pockets of "representatives"? I find Churches to be a well orchestrated, well designed..sham, feeding on the pckets of those who look to religion for guidance and security... Figure it up...25 dollars a week, 52 weeks a year X1000 members, thats 1.3 million dollars. Now...I dont know about yall, but thats ALOT of money..and I know there is upkeep and repairs, and an office of people to pay salarys. But consider that...in those 1000 people, there is at least..1 HVAC guy, 1 woodworker, 1 roofer, 1 small engine guy, 1 computer guru...ready and willing to step up and do stuff for free or at/below cost... |

They didn't even know that putting quotes around the term "global climate change" would be different than not putting quotes around them (causing matches to global, climate, and change.) Oh, and just lump in papers that are totally skeptical of MMGW, and you can just cruise to whatever number you want! And since it sounds so good to your peers, they just review it for you by saying "Looks good to me!" Yup, stick with these winners Phil, you'll be well informed I'm sure. Seriously though, this an act of desperation on the part of the climate alarmists. When they feel the need to blatantly lie about such a "consensus" you know they are actually in a far weaker position. You'd think these things would send up red flags, Phil. It's stuff like this that allows me to spot pseudo science a mile away. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownsville_Revival I went to school from 1991-2000, all during the revival, less than 1 mile from that church, at a Christian School. That had millions, and millions of members and visitors... Then we have Gateway CoC, and Olive Baptist...2 more huge mega churches. |

I'm posting peer reviewed scientific studies supported by thousands of scientist and you are posting some blog written by one whack job - who isn't a scientist - with an agenda. I can TOTALLY see how that carries the weight to refute what has been posted. |

Oh brother. Even though this is demonstrably false, who cares where a study's funding comes from if it is factually correct? What the real travesty is that the government won't give grants to scientists to do studies that might tip their precious apple cart.
The fact is that the 97% claim is utter bullshit, easily deconstructed, and laughable in its amateurishness. Many of the papers he dropped did not hew to the MMGW mantra, and quite a number he did include were not "of the consensus", but what did he care? He just wanted to get a number out there to give people like you a cudgel to beat people over the head with when they disagreed with your precious alarmist anti-energy totem. One other thing. Now that we've had over 15 years of no statistically significant warming, contrary to every prediction made by the global warming cabal, you'd think a little humility would be in order. But no, you're going to double-down. It's what a trapped animal does, I guess. |
