If you want my take on it, you'll have to post to this original PoliTalker thread. I refuse to be an enabler for online bullies, so I won't post to a stolen thread. I won't even read it. If you don't see me, PoliTalker, posting in this thread check the author. This might be a hijacked thread, not the original.

It only stands to reason.

Creationism is just some Christians. Here's a weird quandary. If the Earth was created in seven days, what days are they going by? Before Earth was created, there would have been no Earth day to scale buy.

Based on my observations from watching the "Beverly Hillbillies", I do not think most barely educated conservatives from the bible-thumping south are aware that "Texas Tea" actually comes from the decomposition of prehistoric plants.
"Fossil fuels" is also a word sophisticated people use, and I do not actually recall Jed, Ellie May, Jethro, or Daisy ever using that term.

Actually, coal comes from plants. Oil is typically thought to originate from animals (microorganisms). There is some debate on oil, however.

I simplified for informal purposes, because using the terminology phytoplankton just wouldn't cut the mustard for the purposes of the post.

This is what I learned and was told. Totally simplified, because the organic chemistry can be complex and there might be some evidence of abiogenic or inorganic origins of oil, although that is a fringe hteory.

Oil comes from plankton -- marine zooplankton (microscopic animals) and marine phytoplankton (aka, marine plants)
Natural gas comes from terrestrial plant material.
Coal comes from terrestrial plants located in swamps.

Someone that is actually informed!

Take me now, Jesus!

I'm a Christian myself, but not one that disregards science so easily.

Ha! I have an educational background and a former profession that required me to be informed about it.

But I have a lot of black holes on a lot of topics, and I try to keep my mouth shut on topics I know nothing about. You would be hard pressed to find many posts from me pontificating about the stock market, investments, quantum physics, TV shows, or baseball. I know my limitations, man!

The one thing about message boards that always amazed me: there are remarkable numbers of posters who seem to know everything, present themselves as armchair experts on virtually any topic, and have never been heard to admit they lack expertise or knowledge.

Unless some of these posters are lying their assess off and faking it, I would say jpp.com must be the unexpected conclave of some of the world's greatest minds!

Those are areas I steer clear of as well. What I DO try to do, when I can, is to do my homework on a subject before I reply to what appears to be BS. That is one value of this forum. There is so much BS that I find my self doing A LOT of homework. So, it has caused me to increase my knowledge base.

And you strike me as someone who will generally use reputable sources of information to inform yourself: Reputable scientific journals or prestigious scientific organizations with expertise in climate science for example.

I am convinced that climate deniers are bascially just parroting what they read on obscure rightwing blogs, Anthony Watt's blog, or other hilarious examples of "blog science".

Yeah, on AGW, I tend to rely on NASA, NOAA, or academic papers. Not some blog of some former accountant that fancies himself as a climate expert.

Not just science either. Lately, I’ve read more about JCPOA, federal election laws, the Mueller report, the War Powers Act, AUMF, sanctuary cities, etc. than I otherwise would have.
