Key Republican Uses the Bible to Calm Fears of Global Warming.

[LuciferSam]

I don't think the words Fahrenheit or Celsius are in the Bible, so I don't know how it could be the authoritative source on climate change.

I think Fahrenheit begat Celsius. Might have been the other way around.

?Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though all inclinations of his heart are evil from childhood and never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

?As long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.?

I believe the first quote is not true and can only hope the lord was misquoted, otherwise life is not worth living. And the second quote seems to mean that the earth will be fine, but doesn't mean there needs to be any humans on it.

No, those two arguments use logic and science. The original post is logic and science being thrown to the side for superstition and voodoo.

Maybe, however my post was to point out that no matter what we do to achieve alternative energy sources and be better to Mother Earth, someone will argue it on some level.....whether it makes sense to you, others or not isn't the issue. It's a counter argument. That's all.

By your logic then I should have learned about flat Earth theory in my Earth Sciences class and the stork theory in my Health class. Perhaps the theory that the holocaust was faked in World history?

So should we have respect for ideas that don't make sense? Do you want to live in a world in which all opinions are given equal weight? I think our advancement has depended on us shooting down arguments counter or otherwise that are just plain wrong. The problem is that the politically correct crowd thinks we need to respect all beliefs and opinions no matter how harmful they are to society.

I have no idea where either of you are coming from or trying to get. Something was obviously midread or misinterpreted. My point is there will always be someone who is crazy to counter an argument, belief, advancement, etc...

Thought you might want to discuss further.

I get what you ment Lynnie. The universe is full of crazy folks who will never be happy. Actually, I think some are most happy being miserable!
