Ah, pesky old science, interfering with agendas ... :-)
Now we have pesky old weather, interfering with the AGW hype.
I saw the tiniest bit of an interview with Algore, where he said that "the debate is over," and he did this thing with his hand, and I immediately thought, "he's trying to do a Jedi mind trick!" I kid you not!

I watched the entire show, not knowing climate change was on the list. I guess I was being naive. It turned into a commercial for Gore. I saw the scientist answer the questions through his computer, but they didn’t tell us what the questions were. They used his quotes and gave us only the context of the previous video leaving the implication that he agreed with everything which preceeded.
That actually sounds like something my friends and I would ‘watch’ - we like to put laughably bad stuff on TV while we’re doing homework, cause it’s enough to break up the monotony but we can’t actually watch it for long enough to get distracted from the homework.
Yeah, that episode was lame. Skunk apes in Louisiana was fun to watch, though.
Thank you for the information. It’s too bad that it’s fabricated as it makes for a compelling story. Oh well.
I think they did the “we just all disappeared” to avoid the political sh*tstorm they would have endured.
They’ve done dozens of shows on the Rapture.
I finally watched the whole show last night and it didn't infer anything about Rapture or religion. Their point from the beginning was we killed ourselves and the Earth was better off for it.
If it was from the Rapture, then where were the people left behind? Where was the wars and pestilence and the Antichrist?
The show had nothing to do with religion but more to do with the religion of self loathing and earth worship. We all need to die to make the oceans more productive and let the eco system heal.
What are you talking about?
They didn’t say anything on how we died.
And depending on how you look at it, some parts of the earth will be better off without humans (Wolves, fish, dolphins) and others won’t be as lucky (mice, rats, dogs). In a biological sense, humans are nothing more than a very good predator, and in a biological sense the good predator rules the ecosystem and pushes competing predators out.
And the rapture isn’t going to happen, the book of revelations was code to the early Christians to give them support through the persecution. Nobody but Mike Huckabee supporters take the Rapture for reality.
The fallacy in the show’s premise is to advance the pagan ideology that the Creation has no Creator or source of moral authority over nature, then proceeds to assume the rule of humanity over nature is a consequent of autonomous lordship over nature, instead of a derivative role. Some have noted the ironic position of the pagan when they declare what role man ought not to have when they deny the authoritative role of the Creator Himself, and appeal to relativistic humanism.
There are also more direct arguments that nature in the heavens and earth is held together by the work of the Son of God, who Himself is also very human. If He were not to exist, then nature would also collapse, and not merely the Earth, but the heavens as well.
