But don’t the Lib whack jobs see AlGore as God?
The first U?N? study said that the maximum sea rise in case all of the ice and snow melted would be 17” that is seventeen inches, one foot and five inches (1’5”). They quickly changed that for I gore.
Is that it? Are you comparing the command to pick up leftovers from the feeding of the multitudes with environmental degradation?
Our ecomonic system is the most efficient and successful in the world. It does not necessarily eliminate waste, in fact in many ways it does just the opposite.
I did not say it eliminates waste - I said it eliminates waste more than any other. The modern capitalist production processes are designed to eliminate waste thru cost economization of material, energy, manpower and distribution. No other economic system can produce such streamlined results. Government interference is the main culprit of uneconomic manipulation of those goals. That is why it is so important to keep the feds and UN out our economies - they will create more waste than they claim to eliminate.
By the way, what proof is anyone offering that Global warming will have an overall negative affect on the earth? I've seen numerous studies that show IF Global warming does occur, it will have a net beneficial affect on mankind. If its man you want to see destroyed, I guess thats a negative.
Outside of nuclear holocaust, what could we possibly do to the environment to cause our own extinction? Please, no sci-fi examples.
All I have said is that our society wastes too much. Take a look at all the product packaging we waste everyday. Look at the water that is wasted. (ie sprinkler systems operating in the rain)
Obviously you either don’t feel that there is any waste in our society or you feel that God doesn’t care whether we use his gifts wisely or not. Either way we disagree. I said nothing of believing or supporting global warming so please save your lectures for someone who does.
Do you think chem, bio-weaponds are a reality? It doesn't necessairly have to cause extinction to be a disaster. What about fresh water pollution, air pollution, soil contamination, nuclear detonation fallout. All man made reality past and present.
“Outside of nuclear holocaust, what could we possibly do to the environment to cause our own extinction? Please, no sci-fi examples.”
What about pumping our water so full of artificial female hormones, that our male population becomes less and less fertile.

Space Balls.
I can agree with you only if we can talk more.
So....I guess I can sacrifice my yahoo.
Cant give you the other one or I would really be screwed.
My sister has a degree in this stuff from UVM. She used to work for Union of Concerned Scientists......now Harvard has gotten her.
You are out of your league man.
Chow..
Well, it’s less “God’s caveat” and more God’s assurance, in that the earth is never going anywhere, and thus will remain forever, and so all things will continue for this earth, our place to live in eternity...

Scripture says otherwise.
Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
That new heaven and new earth shows the continuation of the earth forever. It’s made new (along with the entirety of creation) because the creation (and earth) was subjected to futility because of sin (and the resulting judgement). There is a new heaven and new earth which is the original condition before it being subjected to futility and before the sin of Adam and Eve introduced death and decay into the universe.
In other words, very simply put, it’s the forevermore continuation of the earth and heavens, having been restored to their original condition.
What’s being described is the destruction of the sin-laden and burdened universe and the earth, with full restoration being made and the forevermore continuation as God intended in the beginning (before sin entered).
As I said, the earth continues forevermore...
Invalid logic.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that.
God must have been asleep at the switch during that whole Katrina thing, I suppose.
The promise was that he wouldn’t destroy the world with another flood, not that there wouldn’t be ANYMORE floods.
Personally, methinkeths he resembleth a pillar of salt dung.
