Netflix Original: Bill Nye Saves The Earth

If you took the time to explain how Christians = Global Warming Deniers, and that Non-Christians = Global Warming Believers, then I missed it. I'd appreciate a link though. TIA

[Craizie]

What is the correlation between Christians and global warming? I'd love you to dumb it down and explain it to me.

Didn't we already explain this?

[46Tbird]

Still hilarious to me that there's inconclusive evidence according to ya'll about global warming, so it's horseshit,...

but there's absolutely no evidence of a Christian God, Jesus being his son, or really anything the bible said happened...but yeah, all of that's real.

Who is "they"?

Specifically SS Junk.

46Tbird, if you don't see the correlation there's no point in discussing it with you.

[The King]

How are they not related? They refuted his claim of evolution, citing no proof and their religious views to support their argument.

Still hilarious to me that you readily conflate unrelated topics.

"Somewhere along the way..." So this is a projection? Have there been any staged walkouts of Christian scientists who do not believe in mutation, or are you taking one from the Quaker playbook? I went to Christian schools and studied about genetic mutation. Just not to the point where completely different DNA strands were created by death and accident.

This is the "god of the gaps" argument. God was once invoked to explain gravity, the stars, the tides, etc. It will be harder to maintain this position when humans figure out how to create completely new species. We already have skulls that show the evolution, but what if you watch it happen with your own eyes?

By intelligent design, or did they discover an uncharted volcano and have a webcam set up between some lava rock and water?

I don't know what your saying here, but CRISPR is gene splicing where they can do things like strip alzheimer's from the human gene, give your children blue eyes, make them 7 feet tall, etc. Nobody is brave enough to pull the trigger (maybe the Chinese will) but they could instruct DNA to add another arm, or a tail, or whatever. Eventually it could be enough different that by the definition of "species", we have created a new one.

Somewhere along the way while doing any medical research an intimate knowledge of the way genes mutate will be important to the cure. The religious folk who do not believe in evolution will be at a disadvantage.

Probably won't be an argument soon anyways...I'm pretty sure in the next couple of years the Chinese will CRISPR some wings and a tail on a human. Man-made evolution.

My own belief regarding disease, Biblically-based of course, is that they were introduced or originated at the time of the fall of mankind. I am not at all discounting the advances in treatments and understanding that medical science has since brought us however.

[mschmoyer]

I am not sure where it has been written that Christians are against medicine other than the claims made from mschmoyer.

Probably autocorrect did it.

It's a proper noun so it's capitalized. Also, I wasn't trying call anybody a "Jesus Freak." Just saying that his favorite street magician is Jesus.

[SS Junk]

No effort made to correct the auto correct means the boy not a very good Atheist. That's rule number one for proper etiquette of Atheism.

[The King]

At least you capitalized His name. Usually Atheists will avoid doing so. And it's "Jesus freak."

Probably autocorrect did it.

[Craizie]

Outstanding, but that has nothing to do with your daily activities especially when you are in another thread whining about how much fuel you consume. So you are taking part in one event which then makes you feel good as if you're doing your part? LOL.. I thought in order to save this planet your participation had to be a lifestyle change of sorts? Is that all I need to do in order to save the planet and look down on Christians? Ride my bike, and burn as much petrol as I wish?


You make it sound like it is the fault of the disease for his passing instead of you admittedly claiming his lack of acknowledging and management of taking care of it. Types 1 and 2 can live very normal lives as long as long as they take care of their blood glucose levels correctly. I know of Christians participating in T1 trials right now to get a better understanding as well as finding a cure. I am not sure where it has been written that Christians are against medicine other than the claims made from mschmoyer. The Bible has references of people consulting doctors when sick. Did you read the Berkley article he posted regarding T2 and how evolutionary happenings have some sort of bearing with treatments today? LOL

At least you capitalized His name. Usually Atheists will avoid doing so. And it's "Jesus freak."

So they still capitalized it? Good on them.
