Guess this will be passed off as textbook science soon because some researcher or professor guesses this is what happened.

I remember my professors in the late 70's teaching us, as indisputable fact, that (a) world hydrocarbon energy supplies would be all but gone by 2000 (that was always a convenient date), and (b) there would be mass world starvation due to insufficient foodstuffs by the same date.

Like global warming and evolution, this was nothing but a bandwagon of fools parading as science.

No way this will end up in schoolbooks, but the only reason why is because it reinforces the notion that it's beneficial to recognize the differences between the sexes!

Yeah, but they would always start their doomsday scenarios with, "Given the resources we have today..." or some other weasel-words.

I am a Christian. I believe in God and I believe in Jesus and am certain that everything I have and value, I have because of Him. Including my brain, which can and has read text books and bible verse as well.

Global warming is the territory of liberals. It involves their "religion" of environmentalism, and politicizing science to support the agenda of that religion.

Anti-evolution hysteria is the territory of conservatives. It involves Christianity and politicizing science to support Christian fundamentalists' interpretation of Genesis. Nothing in evolution challenges the Ten Commandments, the Seven Deadly Sins, or the teachings of Christ. Indeed, the tenets of natural selection confirm them. Civilizations that cleave to them, survive and thrive. Civilizations that don't, fall into degeneration and die.

The Devil comes very cleverly disguised, but one thing for sure -- he deals in falsehoods and denial. Christians who, out of pride, deny the evidence of paleontology because atheist paleontologists like Daniel Dennet conclude that it "proves" that God doesn't exist, are being dupes of the Devil. God is love, and He has told us that the truth will set us free. If the truth is that He created a world in which natural selection and evolution are part of His vast plan, I have no problem with it. Evolution doesn't challenge God, it challenges men.

Global warming and anti-evolution are "the bandwagons of fools parading as science."
