That was totally uncalled for.
Of COURSE it matter to me if it's true...what part of "I don't have a problem with reclassifying apes" did you choose not to understand?
As far as my concern for the environazis using this to shove their agenda down our throats...you must not know much about them. They could care less about the environment. Theirs is a political agenda under a cloak of environmentalism. They don't want conservation. They want total, untouched, ever unchanging preservationism. Don't start with me on the political front concerning environazis. I've been fighting that wacko crowd for too many decades, I'm PART of conservation and fighting for REAL CONSERVATION, as opposed to an impossible insistance on the preservation of all species unchanged in an attemot to force a one world government on us. Kyoto is part of that.
I think this statement, like the chimp b.s., is more wishful thinking on your part than reality. St. Augustine, who died in the 5th Century, was a man who loved science right to his death, and he wrote that the earth was round and that "the earth is probably inhabited on the other side". Some people still attempt to use the Galileo fiasco as "proof" that Christians feared scientific "fact", but they conveniently forget that Galileo was educated in Catholic schools of science, by Catholic scientists. Whether or not the earth is the center of the universe has yet to be proved or disproved by science. Isn't it strange that the U.S. Navy, and N.A.S.A. both navigate by the geocentric principle,(the one that Galileo tried to replace with his heliocentricity). People of true faith do not fear science, they fear false science, and outcomes that are determined more by an agenda than by facts.
