Global warming is a concept that certain politicians have adopted to force us to submit to the scam of socialism. It does not matter that the science does not support it—what matters to the politicians is that it presents a way to use science to try to get people to submit to a form of government that people have never willingly adopted before, no matter how much it was advocated. Some scientists, in order to increase their chance of funding, throw phrases like “because of global warming” into their publications and grant proposals. However, such phrases are meaningless and are usually accompanied by at least one hypothesis as to what the scientist really thinks is going on.

Evolution, OTOH, is a pretty fundamental concept of biology. Trying to conduct medical research without acknowledging the central role of evolution in, well, just about any biological process would be like trying to conduct chemical research without acknowledging the basic structure of the atom. It is because viruses act according to evolutionary law that public health experts are so concerned about primarily influenza (it is a virus that changes rapidly in accordance with evolutionary law), but also other microorganisms. Because they are small and reproduce quickly, microorganisms evolve quite rapidly, and there is always the danger that a newly evolved pathogen will cause widespread illness and death, like the influenza did in 1918. Understanding evolution is not just important in infectious disease research—it is important for any medical research. We are able to use animals in medical research because of our evolutionary relatedness. Without the common ancestry making us genetically similar, testing on animals would be worthless, since no animal data could ever be relevant to humans.
