Oh, I think some conservatives are catching on. The problem is if they don't see another way to make a living other than by extracting and burning fossil fuels.

Not quite true. There's a bunch of environmental evangelicals think they are stewards of the earth and should restore Eden.

You mean lie how God sedated Adam when he took out a rib, or how blood "speaks" in the fact that their is a lot of information to be found in the blood, and how it was split. Yeah the Bible is devoid of science.

People who think religion teaches science obviously have no clue what science is.

And don't forget how God cloned Eva from Adams rib and changed just a single chromosome.

Wait, if God is omnipotent, why did he need to sedate Adam? Couldn't he just have prevented Adam's nervous system from registering pain?

Link to video.
I'd like to ask - what changes were made to deal with the ozone hole, with acid rain, with lead in gasoline, etc?
In each of those three (real) issues, there was no amount of hand-wringing that could be done by greenies that would interrupt the trendlines that were causing concern. Oh, *I* could avoid hairspray and *you* could avoid driving, but both of those efforts were chickenfeed compared to the crisis.
What changed, what changed so massively as to interrupt those trendlines?
What part of those successes can we incorporate regarding greenhouse gases and their effects upon climate change & oceanic acidity? If I hand-wring enough, and adjust my lifestyle by some percentage, will that interrupt the trends?

Do you have better examples? I mean, they're honestly pretty weak. Anything on the scale of the Koran calling the Sun and the Earth 'orbs'?
Which at the time of writing was far from radical, cutting-edge science.
The Greeks knew it - no Greek philosopher worth his salt denied that the Earth was round, and Aristarchus came up with the heliocentric model. It demonstrated education, but not science - science is about finding out new things, not digging up old discoveries.
Ehn, it was fairly cutting edge. You'd need to have a court of scholars to know something like that. You couldn't just be a shmoe off the street and know something like that.
