Rich Science-y Goodness

Posted by Dorkafork

Interesting:

Valparaiso, IN: Do you believe that intelligent design should be taught in public-school science classes as an alternative to evolution?

Evolution is the cornerstone of modern biology. Intelligent design is not a scientific concept. One cannot be an "alternative" to the other.

A succinct quote from a Q & A with official White House science adviser Dr. John Marburger.

Boston, MA: What are you advising the president to do in response to global warming?

Invest in research on technologies to produce and use energy that emits less greenhouse gases (GHGs). Fund research to improve estimates of where and how warming impacts will occur (as opposed to just knowing the Earth as a whole is warming). Work with nations like China and India where rapid development threatens to add huge new GHG sources. (More information at www.climatescience.gov.)
...
Ft. Dodge, IA: Should the United States try to encourage sugarcane production for ethanol, rather than using corn? By using corn, we are taking away a foodstuff and it costs more to produce ethanol and provides a lesser yield than sugar cane.

U.S. climates are not generally ideal for sugar cane agriculture. The most promising future technology for ethanol is neither corn nor cane but the enzymatic conversion of cellulosic material, much of it currently regarded as waste.

I know what you are saying, but as a field engineer, "Intelligent design is not a scientific concept." has had me giggling all afternoon.

Evolutionists have got to be the most crazy people around they try to tell us that we all came from aa ape which came from a reptile that came from a amphibian that came from a fish that grew legs are crawled out of the ocean just how stupid are these evolutionists wackos?

They are pretty stupid, Birdzilla.

Fortunately, all they have to be is smarter than creationists, and that's a pretty low bar that almost all evolutionists meet.

No ,it is the creationists who do now want to think! Get out of millenia ago and get with it! Check out Talk Origins,please and try there to use your brains, not the brain shield of faith.By the way, the god of your fables is a masochistic psychopath for his deluge and genocides!See me !
