    With the way kids are today, I'm not that bothered that they will have to put up with this when we are gone.

    From someone who doesn't have any kids I suspect?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Have you seen in the papers it's always "the hottest ever" or "the coldest ever" ... once I saw on one page it was the hottest month ever, then I turned the page and someone else was saying it was the coldest month ever - seriously.

    There was a funny bit on Mock the Week about 3 weeks ago, and with all this apparent global warming stuff, Britain will get colder, to which they responded "only bloody Britain could get colder with global warming" ... to be honest I haven't really noticed much change, the winter has been a tad mild this time around, but while yesterday was quite sunny, today is foggy, cold and gray.

    Wasn't it suggested a while back by some group of scientists that the sun was burning brighter now than it used to - surely adding to this whole "global warming" panic.

    Mankind, en mass, can really act like a bunch of headless chickens, eh? SOLUTIONS please, not panicky doom-saying and convenient methods of raping more cash out of people's pockets.

    i dont get it, really i dont, fossil fuel is polluting and its gonna run out, so switiching to something else (im waiting for a water power flying car , that would totally be worth my left foot!) weve had tornadoes in london, now i cant remember that happening before, so somethings changing, trouble is one group of scientists says in 50 years engaldn will be a desert (think mad max with west country accents....like a dusty lord of the rings! ) OR its gonna be a frozen wasteland.

    bit of a stretch in between them-oh **** that'll get alive man started!

    i found out what is causing global warming

    on coast to coast there is a caller named JC
    who is a "10 star general for the lord"
    and he says that the souls in hell at the center of the earth
    are heating up the planet

    so many sinners are in hell
    that it is raising the temperature of the planet

    so at least we know why it is happening now

    thanks JC


    and as a side note
    terran is a very complex and intelligent young man
    a bit pessimistic at times yes
    but always interesting to chat with

    Global warming eh? meh. I think teh book was called State of fear. Read it sometime, it's awesome, and shows alot of counter arguements to global warming.

    I personally think it's a load, and that this is a natural climate change that God set in motion eons ago so earth will be a great place to live for us.

    and yes, I know eh, I said God created us and the Earth.

    why would a god change the world to "make it better for us to live?", when climate change could wipe out more species than we ourselves have done over the years?

    not argueing here its a genuine question for a person of faith.

    and on the subject of species i gotta ask , and remember im 100% not taking the piss this is genuine interest from a theological point of view, whats your opinion on there being no dinosaurs in the bible?

    It's okay, I don't mind. To be fair, we don't know. No one does, i've asked teh question myself so many times, and yet i still haven't been able to find an answer. Personally, I don't really care....I mean, i suppose you could relate dinosaurs to the earth outside the garden of eden or something, but i truly don't know. I would like to know what happened, but I don't Meh. The bible is what I try to base my life upon, as well as the teachings of christ. Thats the focus, and thats what the entire bible sums up too- the arrival of christ.

    with teh second question, I take my answer in part, from teh bible. I can't remember the exact passage or line, but basically, God created animals, then he created man. We are in a position of superioity over animals, and we are the "ones in charge" so to speak (sorry it's 3:30 am here and i'm very tired, I'll answer better later on when I can think allright) and we are God's ultimate creation. This doesn't mean we are too mistreat them, but we are to watch over them and protect them. God wants a comfortable place for everything, man and beast, to live. It may end up killing so many, but it brings about new life.

    I don't reason that having teh deaths of animals is right (i'm incredibly opposed to the idea actually) But the fact is we don't know. God does, but we don't. I view evolution and otehr things (not science in general) to be mans attempt to distance ourselves away from God. I don't buy into evolution or global warming, not because of my religious beliefs (even as a non christian i thought evolution was a crock) but because of the simple fact that alot of it doesn't make sense to me at all. We're doign evolution in bio this semester, so i hope to gain better knowledge on it.

    altho, this isn't the topic for such a discussion, tho, PM me if you wanna ask more. I just don't wanna start something on here and get off track. Sorry for the spelling but I've really gotta go to sleep. PM me sometime with more questions.
