Genesis 1:24

And God said, " Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their "kinds"-livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their "kinds"." And it was so.

Genesis 1:26

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Genesis 2:7

Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living creature.

etc. etc.

And doG said, "I love these little f**kers, I'm going to make about 95% of them suffer like you can't imagine then most of them will spend eternity in hell because I screwed up so badly with their design. Way too many bugs in the programming."

:D

I follow the work of Robert Bakker, who proposed that idea over forty year ago. But he never said all dinosaurs were endothermic.

Interestngly, "An Ecumenical Christian minister, Bakker has said there is no real conflict between religion and science, and that evolution of species and geologic history is compatible with religious belief. Bakker views the Bible as an ethical and moral guide, rather than a literal timetable of events in the history of life. He has advised non-believers and creationists to read the views put forward by Saint Augustine, who argued against a literal understanding of the Book of Genesis."

Seven Big Failed Environmental Predictions

You are whistling past the graveyard. Don't make the mistake that just because the train is late it isn't coming.

Tell it to the disappeared glaciers,

Tell to the empty reservoirs in California

Tell it to the bees that have disappeared

Tell it to the radioactive life forms around FuckyouShima

Tell it to the areas being contaminated by the last gasp desperation tactic know as fracking

Tell it to all the hamburger flippers with lifetime debt for their worthless college degrees

So, when the smoke clears which of the 19 clowns do you think will be the last to step from the clown car?

12,000 years ago, ice sheet as thick as 10,000 or more feet, covered huge past of the northern hemisphere. Glaciers disappearing is part of coming out of an ice age. It is natural. Ice ages, like we are still in, are historical climate anomalies.

California, where I live, is having a drought. Texas, which was having a drought, has had record rainfall in some places recently. New England had record snowfalls and low temperatures. It happens.

Bees and radioactive life forms near a breached reactor are not related to "global warming."

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is almost as old as the oil industry itself. In the old days, they had open holes and used to drop dynmaite down induces fractures in the oil bearing formation. It is by no means a "last gasp."

What do unemployable degrees have to do with environmental lies?

I hope the rant made you feel better.

True, JamieDelarosa, Bakker's theories did not explicitly assert that ALL dinosaurs were warm blooded...at least not as such, but no specific empirical data was referenced regarding the recent discoveries of the arctic and sub-arctic "saurians".

Speaking of "unemployable degrees", I have quite a lot of those.

98.6 Fahrenheit, to be exact.

Your ravings don't make me feel better or worse. I'm resigned to the fact an appallingly few intelligent people can be found for every several hundred thousand or more in whose demographic you fall.

Yeah, throwing a stick of dynamite in a hole is just the same as deep underground earthquake triggering hydraulic fracturing that goes on now. Do they give you choices of the kool-aid you drink at your ceremonies?

That last verse says "HOW". What, you need more details? Nothing is said about other creatures except that man (meaning man the species) has dominion over all the lesser species. Evolution in my mind is such a ridiculous theory, I'd rather believe in Harry Potter as God than subscribe to such a contrived hoax as evolution. Talk about fairy tales! The lengths some people will go to refute the existence of God.

Then you won't mind me saying that evolution has passed you by. You are the same as prehistoric man. You have not evolved either biologically or physically.

I'm pretty much the same as the first man, which would be Adam. I don't have any monkeys or apemen in my family tree. You obviously think that there are some in yours though.

Tell it to my uncle Boris.

I serious doubt you have any sort of engineering or geological background. Your misuse of the terminology is a clue.

"Shallow earthquakes are between 0 and 70 km deep; intermediate earthquakes, 70 - 300 km deep; and deep earthquakes, 300 - 700 km deep. In general, the term "deep-focus earthquakes" is applied to earthquakes deeper than 70 km. All earthquakes deeper than 70 km are localized within great slabs of shallow lithosphere that are sinking into the Earth's mantle." Generally speaking, the deeper the hpocenter of the earthquake, the more powerful it will be.

Oil and natural gas wells rarely produce below 6 km. Some fracturing occurs as shallow as 1 km. By any measurement, IF fracturing causes anything above micro-seismisity, it poses scant little danger.

Some authentic climate scientists (as compared to Alarmists) have correctly noted we are still in an ice age. Duruing the Mesozoic, ambient global temperatures were high enough to support dinosaurs above the Arctic Circle.

Humans didn't live in the Mesazoic. The spread of tropical diseases Northward is already affecting millions of people per year. Agriculture is being destroyed by the climate shift. Where will displaced people live,when refugees are being killed at the borders. It's very small comfort that things will be more tolerable for dinosaurs.

"the world has been getting warmer is a given ..." the Italian Renaissance is 13th - 16th century. italy, that is europe too, no? any ice on paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian?

There have been "years without summer," usually associated with large volcanic eruptions.

Modern and archaic humans have lived and thrived during warm interglacial periods.

The vector for the spread of tropical diseases is not the climate, but the mobility of humans from region to region. For instance, the threat of the Ebola virus outside of Africa would be nil, if people cound not travel from the area.

Chagas disease is caused by the migration of the tropical Kissing Bug,and now affects 300,000 in the US. Climate shift is going to require trillions of dollars investment,and will still injure 100s of millions of people.

Central Planning: Recent sales data show that consumers don't want electric cars. Too bad, since President Obama has put in place regulations that will effectively force the public to buy them in the not-too-distant future.

Yesterday IBD reported that electric and hybrid sales, combined, made up a tiny 2.8% of the market in the first five months of this year, down from a 2013 peak of 3.7%.

And even as May sales exploded, sales of pure electric cars went nowhere. In May, the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius PHV and Tesla Model S sold a combined total of 2,831 plug-ins.

For perspective, Honda sold more than 6,300 of its new HR-V crossover in just two weeks.

And these pitiful electric-car sales, mind you, come despite the very generous $7,500 federal tax credit, along with various state incentives — Illinois offers rebates up to $4,000.

"Hybrids and electrics are in less demand — even from existing alt-fuel car owners," IBD's Donna Howell notes. She also cites a survey showing just 3% of consumers say they'd prefer an electric car to a traditional gasoline-powered one. And while 24% say they'd consider a hybrid, that's down from 31% in February.

The problem is that Obama has implemented federal fuel economy standards that will upend these consumer preferences.

In just 10 years' time, the combined average fuel economy for all the cars and light trucks a company sells — from compacts to SUVs — will have to be 54.5 miles per gallon. Right now, actual sales average little more than 31 mpg.

Even small hybrids will struggle to meet that efficiency goal. The most efficient hybrid today — Toyota Prius hybrid — gets 50 mpg.

Unless a miracle happens or the new fuel economy mandate is dumped, it's hard to see what alternative carmakers will have other than to force feed plug-in cars to consumers who clearly don't want them.
