“This has as much bearing on the subject as “An Inconvenient Truth” has on proving Global Warming or “Pinocchio” has in proving that puppets can become boys”

Shhhhhh! GGG still believes that puppets can become boys!

"GGG still believes that puppets can become boys!"

I wouldn't go that far. GGG has a legitimate faith based point of view, it's just not compatible with science and that is what appears to drive him. He rejects outright the concept of theistic evolution and Intelligent Design and with it the entire teachings of the Catholic Church.

St. Thomas Aquinas taught that theology, or the sacred doctrine, as a science, the raw material data of which consists of written scripture and the tradition of the Catholic Church. These sources of data were produced by the self-revelation of God to individuals and groups of people throughout history. Faith and reason, while distinct but related, are the two primary tools for processing the data of theology.

According to Aquinas, God reveals himself through nature so truth is made known through the confluence of both Scripture and science (Natural Law).

In this context his continuous assault on science is an assault on the very creations and marvels of God.
