What the FUCK is wrong with USA! How can such an utterly ignorant freak be allowed to spread his nonsense on a climate change in Congress? Who the fuck cares what the bible says. In what way is that even remotely relevant! The talk about of free speech is utter nonsense. You should discuss the topic and deal with relevant information. While he's at it he could explain how he likes sucking dicks as well. That's just as relevant with regard to climate change.
@buugiman78 "How can such an utterly ignorant freak be allowed to spread his nonsense on a climate change in Congress?" Because we are not allowed to call him an ignorant freak, or question or doubt any part of his faith or his scripture lest we be branded as "disrespectful and intolerant". Critical thinking or awareness of reality is apparently forbidden in the US because those who dont beleive make those who do feel bad and we cant have people feeling bad now can we?
In the first fucking place, what are theologists doing testifying in a congressional hearing about energy and environment? What possible knowledge could those morons bring to the topic? IMPEACH THIS MORON IMMEDIATELY!
@giveit200 Giveit, wow....you have just described someone I have never met. Cold-reading is a skill you do not posses....don't feel bad, neither do I. No, I went to Sunday school because my Parents were in the business community and back then you almost HAD TO be a Christian or you would find your career going nowhere....more or less. Back then there was tremendous pressure to have religious beliefs. Now how could I assume you are a Christian.... cont-->>>
contà> I wasn't even aware of your existence until just now. I was forced to claim I was a Christian because being an Atheist meant you were a rotten person. On the contrary, I have given more thought to this subject than just about ANY other subject. I claimed to be a Christian, thought about it hard and couldn't justify it so i became a "vague deist" That didn't work either. After months of occasional thought, I came to the conclusion that a god or gods simply cont__>>>
cont-->> was not supported by enough evidence for me to accept the theory. I mean...REALLY... populating the earth from a sample size of a few people...Noah's Ark !?!? .... 5 year-olds know that doesn't make sense..but I digress. I DO NOT have a dog in the fight and have NO emotional attachment. If science ever proved that a god or gods existed, I would have to accept the theory....just that simple. Perhaps I did assume incorrectly that you haven't given it enough critical thought cont-->>
cont-->> Maybe you have and I am wrong.... I just didn't think anyone would still believe in something that is not supported by science (science = how we determine anything) after looking at the subject objectively. Sorry that took so long, but I wanted to give your response thoughtful consideration. So, NO… your “assumptions” were quite a ways off.
When a person believes in the big bang theory or evolution, are they not believing what someone has just written down. Science is written down and experimented with by scientists, not by all of you. You believe the scientists. Yes, we experiment with our chemistry classes or physics classes, but that is not global warming or anything of major worldly importance. As far as I am concerned, believing in science is a sort of faith. It is believing what someone else said is true.
I find it hysterical that many people say that there is no evidence of the truth of the bible. The evidence is plentiful but in today's society people are too arrogant to give it the time of day. Arguing against the point that we as Christians are believing in a book written 2000 years ago of just made up stories, yes we are believing in it. We believe it is true, historical, and factual. Yes, we are believing in what people have written down but isn't that the same as believing in science?-->
there is evidence that the bible is true. and he is an elected official by the people based on his views and biases. That means his religious beliefs will influence his decisions.
Well that should assure everyone that God will stop short of letting the republicans kill every living thing on the earth, so there's kind of a silver lining.
@MrZardoz777 OMG I am so embarrassed for this Nation, I wouldn't let this man sit at the adult table at Thanksgiving! much less enact laws in Congress.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. They are up in our government and making laws that effect us all and our planet. They will kill us. Stop these horrible idiots!!!
Wow, that's great news Congressman Shimkus. Perhaps we should let Santa Claus weigh in on the subject of global warming too. I'm sure his opinion will be of great interest, as his career and the happiness of lots of children around the world are highly dependent on the outcomes of global warming.
Imagine that. A US politician won't believe what numerous scientists have to say as a result of experimentation and data gathering, but he'll quote a book of myths and say everything's gonna be OK!
@ChipArgyle I posted a comment pertaining to this moments ago. You believe what scientists have to say because of their so called "experimentation and data gathering", when you actually do the experiments and data gathering let me know. Then we will see who is believing in myths.
@giveit200 That's some attitude you have. If you won't believe what thousands of individuals have to say about something after devoting their lives to the subject matter, studying it, amassing vast amounts of data, analyzing it, and drawing conclusions that have been subject to rigorous peer review, what will you believe...and why?
I know what you'll believe. Conspiracies. Well, you're right. We're out to get you. I suggest you spend the rest of your life cowering under your bed.
it's frightening that people like this are able to obtain positions of relative power. he should take that picture to the streets with the other lunatics yelling about god.
it's funny though, the girl in back to the right is trying to fight laughing. you can see the smile hit her face when he mentions reading from the book of genesis.
I would NEVER vote for someone who bases their decisions as a public servant by consulting some holy book !!! People often don't give it a second thought because, from birth, they are told that the bible and "people of faith" are well-meaning and good in nature. Often nothing could be farther from the truth...especially in the case of the bible !!! cont-->>
cont-->> This is where reason and challenging commonly-held un-proven opinions cause unsubstantiated beliefs to fall-apart. If people only challenged these things, elections might look very different...just my opinion.
@orangemod Now what about you? Because of your ill thought out assumption of Christians, I am going to assume of you that right at birth you were told that the bible is not true and that God does not exist. Now I am going to assume that you have never given what you were told a second thought and that everything you have believed about the world is true just because you believe it. You most likely have ASSUMED that I am a Christian. Well this assumption is actually correct. Your previous cont-->
@orangemod Your previous assumption of Christians never giving it a second thought is quite incorrect. In fact, next to 100% of Christians have questioned their faith. Many have come to faith from not believing whatsoever. Many have lost faith and come back. Assuming of people is not wise.
If anyone wonders why Europe and the rest of the mature world laughs their asses off at the embarrassing, childish stupidity of the United States.... here you go.
@JabberCT What really sucks is that because I live here and I have to share this place with a few religious zealots, I get grouped-in with them. I don't even know anyone who has ever read the bible, much less claim to know what the magical-man-in-the-sky is thinking !!! Correction, I did know a guy who was a creatard..we just politely ignored his nonsense. The 1st amendment gives us all the same rights no matter how silly our beliefs, but I wish to be dis-associated with these people. Cheers.
@JabberCT Jabber, it is not the fault of "The United States" if a group of people do or say something stupid. It is he fault of that group, not of everyone here. There is a small group of people here who believe that we never went to the moon. Of course I do not agree with them. Hence, I should not be grouped in with them. There are some 300 million of us here and no two people agree fully or are the same. I hear all the time that we are all stupid, fat, lazy etc. etc.cont-->>
I am NONE of the above. All I ask is that others don't stereotype me due to the actions of others. I hear this from people who claim to be so superior to us. For being so superior to those they criticize, it is strange that they cant understand a simple concept like why stereotyping is wrong and almost always an inaccurate summation. I'm not saying this is you, I was just prompted to comment after reading "The United States" Thank you
@orangemod Well, i dont consider myself part of that crowd either. But unfortunately, the majority of people in this country believe things that make the world cringe with embarrassment. And the real unfortunate part, is that we, the people, elect them to office only if think this way. Non-Christians have no chance. Look at the girl behind Shimkus when he says "Genesis 8". That sums up the worlds reaction to our nation. We have to stop voting for people based on their childish beliefs.
@JabberCT We have really crappy choices in who we vote for. A lot of times I don't even want to vote because the 2 choices are so bad. Seems everyone is so disappointed that less & less people even vote anymore. I hear people say that they vote for "the lesser of 2 evils" Bad eh? The choices are so bad that we vote for the person who we think will do the least amount of damage...sigh..
@JabberCT Believe me, so do we Americans. We're also confused why some of these people get chosen since we didn't vote for them. The politics here are very tricky/fishy and sneaky
He is right that night will continue to follow day but whether there will be any people to see it is open to discussion. We are pumping so much CO2 into the atmosphere its frightening. If he wants to speak in public on the subject he should check government web sites like NOAA and NASA and get some real facts
If we take serious action on climate change, cut carbon emissions by 90% or more, popularize public transit, and get off fossil fuels and the climate science turns out to be wrong, imagine the ecologically healthy, economically viable hell we will have put ourselves in.
@patrick42h "imagine the ecologically healthy, economically viable hell we will have put ourselves in."
You can get pretty far without making it a hell. Also, getting off fossil fuels is something we're forced to do anyway in not too many years, due to depletion, so it doesn't hurt to start early. It will make the transition far easier. IMO, the way to go is to get space based industry and energy production going as quickly as possible while trying to improve energy efficiency with technology.
@Gnomefro I think I agree with you for the most part. My point was that, in the extremely unlikely event that current climate science is completely off and we have already committed to making necessary changes to deal with it, I think we would be better off anyway.
@TheJohnFrum The former are greedy assholes, the latter are the cruelty of the Church from medivel times. Why are you generalizing all religious people into one group? It's disgusing, unfair, and insulting. Religious people can be just as evil as the regular man, being religious doesn't mean that all religions are like that.
@TheJohnFrum But you're still generalizing an entire faith. I won't make excuses for atrocities made by the Church, or it's followers, but you act like the entire point of religion is to control people with fear and suppress all creativity.
@hiyosilver100 "Oh....and perhaps you can explain how a THEORY is fact-based? If 'evolution' of specie was fact-based, it would be called the FACT of evolution (which it is NOT!)"
First, please check the definition of "A Scientific Theory". It would previously have been called "The Law of Evolution", like Boyle's Law of Gases.
Selective use of bad definitions("Theory", for example) cannot mask the fact that you have no evidence for your position, beyond "Goddidit".
@hiyosilver100 wrote "There is and has never been proof of life from primordial ooze or evolution of species". This statement demonstrates that you have no idea what you are talking about. First, to Standard Creationist Idiocy number xxx. Neither Darwin, nor The Theory of Evolution, has ANYTHING to say about the origin of life. Put simply, you are confusing apples with elephants.
Evolution deals with the development of all the species(99% extinct) of Earth. For this, lots of proof.
You see FUCKING REPUBLICANS....this is what you give us....This is what you vote into office....."There is a Theological debate that this is a carbon starved planet".....WTFFFFFF!?!? There aren't any goddamn theological debates in congress! Get to fucking work and pull your head out of your ass!
@hiyosilver100; You keep talking about these "proofs" of "the fallacies and impossibility of evolution", but somehow they never seem to appear. If there was anything real, science would have tested it and accepted it. As no such evidence exists, it cannot be tested.
Meanwhile, Biology(the fact-based, reality -based one), based on the Theory of Evolution, moves on.
Videos and discussions like this occur because, in the USA, the level of fantasy-based rejection of fact is epidemic.
@gloin10 Apparently, you keep watching the wrong videos and learning from the skewed 'evolutionist' / 'scientists' text books.
Pay attention now-There is and has never been proof of life from primordial ooze or evolution of species. Try as they might.
The intricacies and the wonderful fitting of the puzzle pieces of the earth and it's inhabitants and resources & the balance of the universe are daily proofs of a Creator.
@hiyosilver100 Are you saying that your point of view is not skewed? Do you have any evidence other than your Bible? A bible which belongs to one of many sects in the Christian faith, which is one of many religions in the world.
No science can not prove anything 100%, but neither can the Bible. Science just provides the most likely explanation possible at the time, using empirical evidence. Both require a bit of faith. Will we no longer convict prisoners if we don't have 100% proof?
@gloin10 Oh....and perhaps you can explain how a THEORY is fact-based? If 'evolution' of specie was fact-based, it would be called the FACT of evolution (which it is NOT!)
@hiyosilver100 that's because "theory" has a different meaning in science than in colloquial usage. "Hypothesis" is the word scientists use to refer to something that is colloquially called a "theory." "Theory" in science refers to a concept explaining something, which has a large body of evidence to support it. Another example of this is the Theory of Germ Infection. Gravity is only a scientific Law because is always occurs in roughly the same way (though the actual cause is debated by some).
@crazyphotographer1 Of course scientists must use their 'special' terminology to add to the confusion so that they appear correct. Easy to do when their own meanings are assigned to words. A THEORY is conjecture to events - what they think happens. FACT *IS* fact. Evolution of species or life from ooze is NOT fact! Neither have ever been observed under controlled lab conditions and have NOT ever been reproduced. Hence, by their own definition, both are NOT even scientific! : ) All the best.
@hiyosilver100 @hiyosilver100I Scientists didnt invent the word "hypothesis" (I took a quick look at "hypothesis" and "theory" on Wikipedia . I think people just stop using the word, like no one calls a mirror a "speculum" anymore. I wouldn't say that "fact IS fact" because EVERYTHING is disposed to point of view. Besides a fact is one piece of evidence (an event, a measurement, etc) not a hypothesis, theory ,or law. Is gravity non-scientific 'cuz we cant get planets in a lab?
John Shimkus has revealed himself as one of the leaders of the idealogical conservative movement in the US that parallels religious jihadism in other parts of the world. The conservative agenda is not job creation, balancing the budget, saving the planet or even preserving our way of life. Their desire is to launch a holy war on the great unwashed and to justify it under the Rapture1 Thessalonians 4:17 when Christians will be gathered together in the air to meet Christ
This guy doesn't do a lot for the American cause to try to show that the average American ISN'T stupid (against the common argument to the contrary). A Congressman for fucks sakes!!!!
Over 40% of Americans think the Theory of Evolution is wrong!
Face palm......
No disrespect for the EDUCATED Americans intended by the way. But you have to wonder with guys like this in a position of power and guys like Dubbya saying God told him to invade Iraq.
@buddhikaw "Only 40% ???? So more than half of Americans think that it's true? That is very worrying!"
So you're one of the brainwashed delusionals then. You should be ashamed.
But ironically the anchor that people like you represent to the USA will ultimately be your ruin and Natural Selection will knock America off its lofty perch.
So sad but hey, Evolution doesn't play favourites.
@warren52nz Miller made no building blocks, his amino acids lacked Chirality!!!!!..racemic mixtures can't be used!!!..and space crystals bringing life here answers nothing, your just pushing the problem out into space!, and saying its solved!
Whay he doesn't realize is that this video is captured for all time to come, and in the future he will be looked upon as the people responsible for the Salem witch trials are looked upon today.
@mcdinkity I'm not really religious, but don't hate religion because of the radicals who deny anything that challenges their worldview. Otherwise you'll sound like a radical atheist... like you just did. It's ok to be atheist, just don't be radical.
@mcdinkity Don't blame religion, I'm a Christian, and I know this guy is a general idiot. Either way, be there God or not, don't you think society would benefit form Jesus's message of love and tolerance? In the end, that was pretty much only message
@mcdinkity "this is why religion needs to be stamped out and cant be just dismissed as harmless" I agree with saying that religion is VERY often harmful. But no matter how silly someone's beliefs are, if they aren't breaking the law, our 1st amendment applies equally to everyone. If we take away others' right to believe as they wish, we are jeopardizing all of our rights. The best tool against religious zealotry is reason and challenging beliefs that cant stand up to logic. Cheers !!
@CubsFanJohn What I dont understand CubsFanJohn, is how can you say that you are not really an atheist but also say that religion is a "pack of lies". To me it seems you are contradicting yourself there.
"....today we have 388 ppm...in the age of the dinosaurs we had over 4000 ppm...." well that's why dinosaurs are extinct moron!
and what does he mean by "the age of dinosaurs"? doesn't the bible say that dinosaurs and humans existed at about the same time? no matter how stupid they may be, atleast try being consistent in your arguments
If we didn't have such backwards ideological nutcases running shit for so long maybe we wouldn't have cockily abused our powers and ignored science thus avoiding global warming and 100 other tragedies from the get go. I say maybe but I'm reasonably sure this is the case, that's what makes this SUCH A FUCKING MIND FUCK. FUCK
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. When you are born of the Spirit, you are set free from the slavery to sin. Until then, people are slaves to sin and are the objects of God's wrath.
@TheJohnFrum You obviously got your religious ideas from the movies or from some cult. You should talk with your failing socialized system n England. Sensible people reject socialism and communism as well as atheism.
@TheJohnFrum You obviously got your religious ideas from the movies or from some cult. You should talk with your failing socialized system n England. Sensible people reject socialism and communism.
Consulting anything other than God, such as horoscopes, is expressly forbidden by God. It is insulting to consult something created instead of the creator. We must give credit where credit is due. God is the Creator. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the one and only God, and He difinitely IS, and is a rewarder of all who seek Him.
It doesn't matter who invented the lie. A lie is still the lie. God created the sun, moon and stars 4 days after He created the earth. The lie of heliocentricism is part of the anti-Godism.
The fact that even atheists recognize the scientific fact that oil is not a fossil fuel should lend credibility to the idea in the minds of other atheists. Of course, without an unchanging standard for all that is good, such as telling the truth, their "morality" continually changes with the wind. In John's case, it appears he cannot tell the truth.
@BibleTruth1000 Given that a bare minority accept the abiotic hypothesis after all this time and several tests, it's not a good sign for it being correct. And please put your "unchanging standard of ..yadda yadda" to rest.
The faithful have proven, time and time, for many centuries, that their morality is flexible, through sins of both commission and omission.
So what you're saying, correct me if I'm wrong, is that consensus constitutes what passes for "science" today, is that about right? You then no longer have science but a faith-based religion which is all that evolution-based "science" consists of.
@BibleTruth1000 Unlike religion, science doesn't start from a basis of thinking it has all the answers but from observations. These are used to form one or more hypotheses, eg. Big Bang vs Steady State universe, and then further observations & experiments, where possible, to find which, if any, is a good or complete explanation.
The best becomes the prevailing theory, and further experiment or observation serves to refine ( or refute) it.
Actually "science" of today does just that. It embraces the hypothesis of evolution as if was fact based on zero evidence and no chance at replication. That makes evolution a faith-based religion.
Whoa, so he is willing to quote scripture to make a point but in the next breath goes on about dinosaurs? How can you take what is said in the bible so literally one moment and then acknowledge the dinosaurs and the age of the earth to be billions of years old. Can you say flip-flop?
Dinosaurs and humans co-existed or even co-exist today. The earth is only about 6000 years old. Dinosaur is a word that was just invented in the 1800s. They are known as dragons in many cultures.
@MyTwoCentsWorth100 There are enough big and scary reptiles all over the world that we didn't need to have dinosaur to come up with the concepts of dragons - which was probably the result of fear, darkness and alcohol and an overactive imagination.
@MyTwoCentsWorth100 "dinosaurs and humans co-existed or even co-exist today. The earth is only about 6000 years old. Dinosaur is a word that was just invented in the 1800s. They are known as dragons in many culture" Dude I cant tell if your being sarcastic or not but I have a feeling your not, and this is sad because your ignorance is so extreme that its actually laughable.
Holy crap on a cracker! Did he say we should look to the bible for answers to problems in the natural world? Did he just suggest the world is doomed thanks to good old god anyhow so fuck it all to hell and bring it on?
Sometimes all any perception needs for success is to be married with stupidity.
@BibleTruth1000 - really and when was it proven to be accurate...no I said proven not the usual believe, cause god said so and the other drivel. I want proof, remember 100% accurate proof for everything.
The evidence for God is in all He has created. It is all around you.
What would you consider irrefutable proof of God's existence? And if He provided that to you, how would you act on that proof? Would you receive Jesus as your Savior as God requires? Examine your motives and what your response would be before you demand proof. But, the proof is there if you seek it.
Oil is not a fossil fuel. Oil is abiotic and in continuous production deep in the earth’s crust, at rates far in excess of what mankind could ever conceivably consume. There is no need to buy oil from any foreign source and be subject to their price gouging.
The sooner people wake up to the non-science of ‘global warming’ and the lies that ‘oil is a fossil fuel’ and ‘burning coal and oil is an environmental sin’, the better off we and our children and our children’s children will be.
@BibleTruth1000 - wow time to read a non fictional book my friend. How do you get that ancient organisms that have been converted into hydrocarbons is not fossil fuel?
@uChakide In 1951, the theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins was first suggested by Nikolai Kudryavtsev at the All-Union petroleum geology congress. He pointed out the failures of the claims of bio source. Stalin’s team of scientists and engineers found that oil is not a ‘fossil fuel’ but is a natural product of planet earth — the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide — two of the most abundant compounds making up the earth’s crust.
@BibleTruth1000 - I don't get how Ca2CO3 + FexOx -> hydrocarbons? Hell you're even missing the hydrogen atom. Listen I would gladly read any reputable research that shows that this were possible, but even the petroleum companies agree that they are fossil fuels. Wouldn't it be in their best interest to put forward this claim of yours?
@BibleTruth1000 The abiotic hypothesis has consistently failed to predict where oil would be found and has failed other tests of its validity. Just because a good explanation isn't perfect, that doesn't make a wishful one true.
@BibleTruth1000 Garbage like Intelligent Design aka Closet Creationism? Most of those hypotheses, including the linchpin "bacterial flagellum" were refuted years ago, not long after it was touted by Michael Behe. But, since he has more faith than reason, he and his ilk stubbornly hold fast.
@CalebsReport The Earth's underground is not uniform so certain conditions in certain locations would have to exist in order to abiotic oil formation to occur. If the theory is correct, then it should be able to predict likely locations where oil might be found. As far as I'm aware, this has yet to be demonstrated.
@BibleTruth1000 Nothing,except that the abiotic theory has had a long time to be refined and to produce results. As far as I'm aware, it has failed to do so. Since the theory is based on easily testable experiments and results, its viability as an accurate explanation for the existence of petroleum is suspect.
@BibleTruth1000 This is powerfully stupid - and here is why: Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) (chalk) = Calcium + Carbon + Oxygen (x3). Iron Oxide (different molecular combo's exist but let's try FeO) (rust) = Iron + Oxygen. So what elements do we have to make oil out of? A fair bit of oxygen, a bit of calcium, bit of carbon and a bit of iron. The average chemical composition of Petroleum is: 83 to 87% Carbon, 10 to 14% Hydrogen, 0.1 to 2% Nitrogen, 0.1 to 1.5% Oxygen 0.5 to 0.6% Sulphur...
... and finally less than .1% is trace metals. (Seems my formatting screwed up... sorry for the block of data).
Please explain where all the iron and calcium went. Better yet, please explain where the 10 to 14% of hydrogen came from THAT ISN'T PRESENT IN THE INITIAL COMPOUNDS!!!
Remember, the only place elements can be created is in the heart of a stellar fusion reaction... the Earth's core isn't hot enough to do it. Even if it were, we would see a proffusion of other elements.
Ancient organisms did not make oil. Oil comes from the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide. Earth will never run out of oil. It keeps creating more.
God knew we would need oil and designed the earth to continuously renew this resource.
@BibleTruth1000 Couldn't he have given up something a little less dangerous and polluting? Why can't we power things through prayer? If faith can move mountains, why can't it light a bulb?
@BibleTruth1000 I agree. I think that this "fossil fuel" claim is merely propaganda to control supply and demand of oil. Similarly, the war in Iraq, still undeclared, was in large part to prevent the production of oil so as to spike up the price of it. Now look to see who profits.
@BibleTruth1000 - you are right on one point, the organisms did not make the oil but rather it was an interaction of biological material with geological processes. You are wrong as a whole though, calcium carbonate and iron oxides will never produce hydrocarbons no matter how much heat and pressure there is down there. I again ask you to produce reputable scientific literature to support your claims (other than the usual bible-basher cop out of 'you just have to believe').
@BibleTruth1000 Oil is formed by abiotic processes, but its origin is organic. The exponential growth of humanity and its needs far exceeds the creation time for crude oil. Read more, talk smarter.
I don't want to alarm anybody but some people here seem to think the sun does indeed move around the earth. Don't make eye contact boyz......no sudden moves....back away slowly......
@TheJohnFrum Nov. 25, 2010, Vicky Pope, British Meteorological Office claimed temperature rate increase in past decade from 0.05 to 0.13 degrees. Yet Met Office’s Hadley Institute figures show nothing of the kind. She said the Met Office plans to review the way it reports temperatures. Seems the temperature record isn’t showing the warming the Met expects and wants, so it’s planning to move the goal-posts by arbitrarily raising the temperatures for the past decade.

@CalebsReport Climate is variable but the upward trend is towards a clear and relatively rapid warming. Have lived in both the tropics and various areas of North America, and worked in renovations, landscaping and snow removal, I know, on a personal, visceral level, just how things have changed over the past 40 years.

@CalebsReport Correction - the motto of all false BELIEF. Your "God's Word" was just a story to give meaning and structure to what ancient man didn't understand and to deal with the fear and uncertainty of what was a harsh existence.
But we have grown beyond that - "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." - 1 Corinthians 13:11
@CalebsReport Paul of Tarsus was a man, and he did have some wisdom. Why are you bringing liberalism into it? There are many non-believers who aren't remotely liberal; do you think China is a hotbed of liberalism?
Recall that at one time, your Jewish brethren believed in many gods, with Yahweh as the greatest and eventually eliminated all the others; atheists simply took the next logical step.
The Jews may have strayed and believed in false gods which are no gods at all, but there have never been any other gods. There is one God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit who eternal; the uncaused cause.
@jhn146 Why does the "uncaused cause" have to be a being? If you have no trouble believing that something (or someone) can exist without a beginning or an end, why is that more logical than a beginning from nothing?
In November 2009 when thousands of emails and other documents from the University of East Anglia's (UEA) Climatic Research Unit (CRU) were made public, the investigation concluded that there was unhelpfulness in responding to Freedom of Information requests and that "e-mails might have been deleted in order to make them unavailable should a subsequent request be made for them".
Politicians, news media, college professors and leftists sell lies and propaganda of the Founding Fathers and the issue of slavery. The historical fact is that slavery was not the product of, nor was it an evil introduced by the Founders. Slavery was introduced in America nearly two centuries before the Founders. In fact, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay noted that the Founding Fathers were the very first effective catalyst to dismantle the institution of slavery.
You are in a tiny minority of people who are atheists. The rest of us know God is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Casting aspersions on Christians is hate speech.
@jhn146 If you add up the confirmed atheists, the agnostics, the fence-sitters, and the religious-in-name-only, that's about 20%. Hardly a majority but it's a sizeable minority
Where Jesus described his return in Luke 17:31 Jesus said, “In that day,” then in verse 34, “In that night.” This is an allusion to light on one side of the globe and darkness on the other simultaneously. Why would he say both night and day, if the Earth was flat? Indeed the Bible states the earth can never be moved. What makes you think it does?
Evolutionists ignore entropy and arrogantly think people today are smarter than the ancients. That is exactly backwards.
The furthest thing from a Christian is one that uses their God as a personal weapon and their 'faith' as a foundation for ignorance and spite against any that disagree. They do not love their fellow man, but use religion to feel superior over them.
Mark 14:55 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any. 56For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.
Try using that excuse that it was the Christians' fault on judgment day. You have access to the Bible. You wil have no excuse. Christians are not the Savior. Jesus, who is God and man, is the only Savior.
@TheJohnFrum LOL, you're grasping at straws, twisting Bible verses to try to make them say what you wish they said. Give it up. The carnal mind cannot understand God's Word, because it is spiritual. The only way to become spiritually alive is to receive Jesus of Nazareth as your Savior. Then he will send you His Holy Spirit to indwell you so that you may then understand God's Word. Until then, your quotation of Bible verses is futile and obscene.
By what criteria or authority do you judge any Christian school, much less judge them to be inferior? The graduates of our Christian schools live joyful, productive and abundant lives.
As I've said before, I do not consider catholocism to be Christian.
What the FUCK is wrong with USA! How can such an utterly ignorant freak be allowed to spread his nonsense on a climate change in Congress? Who the fuck cares what the bible says. In what way is that even remotely relevant! The talk about of free speech is utter nonsense. You should discuss the topic and deal with relevant information. While he's at it he could explain how he likes sucking dicks as well. That's just as relevant with regard to climate change.

@buugiman78 "How can such an utterly ignorant freak be allowed to spread his nonsense on a climate change in Congress?" Because we are not allowed to call him an ignorant freak, or question or doubt any part of his faith or his scripture lest we be branded as "disrespectful and intolerant". Critical thinking or awareness of reality is apparently forbidden in the US because those who dont beleive make those who do feel bad and we cant have people feeling bad now can we?

When a person believes in the big bang theory or evolution, are they not believing what someone has just written down. Science is written down and experimented with by scientists, not by all of you. You believe the scientists. Yes, we experiment with our chemistry classes or physics classes, but that is not global warming or anything of major worldly importance. As far as I am concerned, believing in science is a sort of faith. It is believing what someone else said is true.

You can get pretty far without making it a hell. Also, getting off fossil fuels is something we're forced to do anyway in not too many years, due to depletion, so it doesn't hurt to start early. It will make the transition far easier. IMO, the way to go is to get space based industry and energy production going as quickly as possible while trying to improve energy efficiency with technology.

@hiyosilver100 that's because "theory" has a different meaning in science than in colloquial usage. "Hypothesis" is the word scientists use to refer to something that is colloquially called a "theory." "Theory" in science refers to a concept explaining something, which has a large body of evidence to support it. Another example of this is the Theory of Germ Infection. Gravity is only a scientific Law because is always occurs in roughly the same way (though the actual cause is debated by some).
crazyphotographer1 9 months ago
@crazyphotographer1 Of course scientists must use their 'special' terminology to add to the confusion so that they appear correct. Easy to do when their own meanings are assigned to words. A THEORY is conjecture to events - what they think happens. FACT *IS* fact. Evolution of species or life from ooze is NOT fact! Neither have ever been observed under controlled lab conditions and have NOT ever been reproduced. Hence, by their own definition, both are NOT even scientific! : ) All the best.

@BibleTruth1000 Unlike religion, science doesn't start from a basis of thinking it has all the answers but from observations. These are used to form one or more hypotheses, eg.

The best becomes the prevailing theory, and further experiment or observation serves to refine ( or refute) it.

Holy crap on a cracker! Did he say we should look to the bible for answers to problems in the natural world? Did he just suggest the world is doomed thanks to good old god anyhow so fuck it all to hell and bring it on?
Sometimes all any perception needs for success is to be married with stupidity.

The evidence for God is in all He has created. It is all around you.
What would you consider irrefutable proof of God's existence? And if He provided that to you, how would you act on that proof? Would you receive Jesus as your Savior as God requires? Examine your motives and what your response would be before you demand proof. But, the proof is there if you seek it.

Oil is not a fossil fuel. Oil is abiotic and in continuous production deep in the earth’s crust, at rates far in excess of what mankind could ever conceivably consume. There is no need to buy oil from any foreign source and be subject to their price gouging.
The sooner people wake up to the non-science of ‘global warming’ and the lies that ‘oil is a fossil fuel’ and ‘burning coal and oil is an environmental sin’, the better off we and our children and our children’s children will be.

@BibleTruth1000 - wow time to read a non fictional book my friend. How do you get that ancient organisms that have been converted into hydrocarbons is not fossil fuel?
uChakide 1 year ago
@uChakide In 1951, the theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins was first suggested by Nikolai Kudryavtsev at the All-Union petroleum geology congress. He pointed out the failures of the claims of bio source. Stalin’s team of scientists and engineers found that oil is not a ‘fossil fuel’ but is a natural product of planet earth — the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide — two of the most abundant compounds making up the earth’s crust.

@BibleTruth1000 - I don't get how Ca2CO3 + FexOx -> hydrocarbons? Hell you're even missing the hydrogen atom. Listen I would gladly read any reputable research that shows that this were possible, but even the petroleum companies agree that they are fossil fuels. Wouldn't it be in their best interest to put forward this claim of yours?
uChakide 1 year ago
@BibleTruth1000 The abiotic hypothesis has consistently failed to predict where oil would be found and has failed other tests of its validity. Just because a good explanation isn't perfect, that doesn't make a wishful one true.

@R4t10n4L What does where oil can be found have to do with how it is created?
CalebsReport 1 year ago
@CalebsReport The Earth's underground is not uniform so certain conditions in certain locations would have to exist in order to abiotic oil formation to occur. If the theory is correct, then it should be able to predict likely locations where oil might be found. As far as I'm aware, this has yet to be demonstrated.

@BibleTruth1000 Also, the abiotic theory is quite old - it was first proposed in the 16th century.

BibleTruth1000 11 months ago
@BibleTruth1000 Nothing,except that the abiotic theory has had a long time to be refined and to produce results. As far as I'm aware, it has failed to do so. Since the theory is based on easily testable experiments and results, its viability as an accurate explanation for the existence of petroleum is suspect.

Please explain where all the iron and calcium went. Better yet, please explain where the 10 to 14% of hydrogen came from THAT ISN'T PRESENT IN THE INITIAL COMPOUNDS!!!
Remember, the only place elements can be created is in the heart of a stellar fusion reaction... the Earth's core isn't hot enough to do it. Even if it were, we would see a proffusion of other elements.

Ancient organisms did not make oil. Oil comes from the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide. Earth will never run out of oil. It keeps creating more.
God knew we would need oil and designed the earth to continuously renew this resource.

@BibleTruth1000 I agree. I think that this "fossil fuel" claim is merely propaganda to control supply and demand of oil. Similarly, the war in Iraq, still undeclared, was in large part to prevent the production of oil so as to spike up the price of it. Now look to see who profits.

@BibleTruth1000 - you are right on one point, the organisms did not make the oil but rather it was an interaction of biological material with geological processes. You are wrong as a whole though, calcium carbonate and iron oxides will never produce hydrocarbons no matter how much heat and pressure there is down there. I again ask you to produce reputable scientific literature to support your claims (other than the usual bible-basher cop out of 'you just have to believe').

@TheJohnFrum Nov. 25, 2010, Vicky Pope, British Meteorological Office claimed temperature rate increase in past decade from 0.05 to 0.13 degrees. Yet Met Office’s Hadley Institute figures show nothing of the kind. She said the Met Office plans to review the way it reports temperatures. Seems the temperature record isn’t showing the warming the Met expects and wants, so it’s planning to move the goal-posts by arbitrarily raising the temperatures for the past decade.

@CalebsReport Climate is variable but the upward trend is towards a clear and relatively rapid warming.

@CalebsReport Correction - the motto of all false BELIEF. Your "God's Word" was just a story to give meaning and structure to what ancient man didn't understand and to deal with the fear and uncertainty of what was a harsh existence.

Politicians, news media, college professors and leftists sell lies and propaganda of the Founding Fathers and the issue of slavery. The historical fact is that slavery was not the product of, nor was it an evil introduced by the Founders. Slavery was introduced in America nearly two centuries before the Founders. In fact, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay noted that the Founding Fathers were the very first effective catalyst to dismantle the institution of slavery.

Where Jesus described his return in Luke 17:31 Jesus said, “In that day,” then in verse 34, “In that night.” This is an allusion to light on one side of the globe and darkness on the other simultaneously. Why would he say both night and day, if the Earth was flat? Indeed the Bible states the earth can never be moved. What makes you think it does?
Evolutionists ignore entropy and arrogantly think people today are smarter than the ancients. That is exactly backwards.

The furthest thing from a Christian is one that uses their God as a personal weapon and their 'faith' as a foundation for ignorance and spite against any that disagree. They do not love their fellow man, but use religion to feel superior over them.
