Heh, understood Liz, thanks, but I wasn't offended, merely, puzzled. No, a 6000 year old Earth is not what I see either. I would just warn you, or surprise you, that even lots of Phd's get 'bought-off' by being on the 'right side' of politicians who provide employment in academia, and the rich that fund the pols. I also just wanted to focus on when the climate whammy will happen, and we can do about?

Show me how I disinformed? Oh! By disagreeing. Ah! But what are the facts? What is the behavior of pols and billionaires? Where's the panic over inundating waters? No crash programs? I guess its easy to be lied to, if one is bought off by ideology in the first place. The cause and effect part of the brain must go to sleep. Hang on, spudboy, if I read you right you are taking personally a comment I made about the behaviour of certain organisations who want to give a spurious scientific front to their already-decided views. Unless you're a member of the Discovery institute or something, that wasn't directed at you personally! -----Original Message----- From: LizR <lizj...@gmail.com> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, Mar 2, 2014 1:12 am Subject: Re: The solar example of a town in Germany This is kind of a touchstone for these disinformation based organisations. They created institutes specifically to push some agenda. We've had tobacco, big oil, and of course the anti-evolution lot, all with their own "think tanks" and "institutes". Personally I reckon they got the idea from L Ron Hubbard, who once got into a conversation with fellow science fiction writers - I forget who, say James Blish and John W Campbell Jr, for the sake of argument - and they all proposed crazy ideas about how one could create a science based religion. "We could have little devices that let people measure their state of spiritual health!" they chortled, imagining this was just one of those games SF writers love to indulge in - little realising that Hubbard was making mental notes of everything they said. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
