What he said. If you want to know whether your creationist friend is intellectually dishonest, just wait for him or her to say it’s ‘just a theory.’

    Do you have any data to back up your theory of creationalist fraudulism?

    Why should he? It’s just a theory of creationalist fraudism.

    I’ve got a theory. Some kid is dreaming and we’re all stuck inside his wacky broadway nightmare.

    This has nothing to do with ID, but I did see an interesting science article in the NYT today about global warming that backed up some of my guesses:

    And through hundreds of millions of years, concentrations of carbon dioxide and the other trace gases that trap solar energy and prevent the planet from being an ice ball have mostly been far higher than those typical during humankind’s short existence.

    Compared with that norm, the rapid buildup of carbon dioxide now from a binge of burning forests, coal and oil lasting for centuries (and counting) is but a blip

    In fact, the planet has nothing to worry about from global warming. A hot, steamy earth would be fine for most forms of life.

    Although the article states any rapid climate changes will of course be bad for human soceity. Interesting article.

    FYI, Also an interesting article in same issue on quantum physics, that although they gave it their best effort, still very foggy to me. (Althougb John Cole should like it cause it comes with cute pics of a very Tunch-like cat). We need the experts on here to chime in with Quantum Physics 101 to tutor the rest of us.
