Inconvient Truth Vs. Biblical Truth

Al Gores incredible film "An Inconvenient Truth" has run into an inconvenient reality of modern America. There were offers to distriute free of charge thousands of copies of the film to schools across the country. But there was a problem, it doesn't show both sides of the story. Sure every credible scientist in the field that doesn't work for an energy company is in agreement, but science is only one side. The other side that doesn't get mentioned at all is that the bible says the world will burn just before the end times.... I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Seriously heres the quote, "The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. ... The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD." Can you imagine if Al Gore had actually brought this point up in the movie? "While every peer reviewed article leads to the same conclusion that global warming is not only real but is caused by human activity there is another source we should look into. According to the bible the world will burn in the end times, this may simply be a sign of the apocalypse." The audience would laugh their asses off, they would assume Al was again trying to show that he does have a sense of humor.
On a side note, I love all the fundies who just can't wait till the second coming of christ. Now I could be wrong about this but I think the only people who go straight to heaven are 12,000 people from each of the original 12 tribes. Meaning that the only ones who go right away, will be Jews, not evangelicals decedent from western Europe. But maybe hey don't care, maybe they look forward to the tribulation where we fight to the death for who goes up and who goes down (directions that are tough to follow when you live on a sphere), even as they are being run through by a demon they'll be thinking, "I was right...."
This is an example of several things and I'll do my best to keep this organized (yeah that'll happen). First of this is an example of our willingness to hear both sides, the problem is both sides do not always deserve equal attention. If I say the moon is made of rock and someone else says no its made of cheese those are two opposing views, that does not mean that both deserve equal time. The fact that it was a common tale in the past does not in anyway make it true. So if you want to give the Bible equal time thats fine, but give it equal scrutiny as well. Has the bible been a good source of weather predictions before? Is it a credible witness? What research went into the righting of the book? Did the writers of the Bible study the atmospheric conditions of their own time? And why is it that we feel the need to give equal time to opposing views, but not always. During the build up to the Iraq war no one felt the need to listen to those who opposed the war, you know those who turned out to be right. I'm all for giving both sides there fair chance, that means that if both sides are equal they get an equal voice, if one side has a mountain of research to back up their opinion and the other simply says I disagree then they do not get equal time, those who put more effort into there position deserve to be heard.
This is also an example of what both sides Pat Robertson and Richard Dawkins have described as a culture war, its a war between what do we believe in, the natural world or the super-natural. There are days when I get pissed off enough that I just want to say fine, beleive whatever you want, but you can't have your cake and eat it too, so if your going to say that science is flawed and the work of the devil then thats fine, but you are no longer allowed to use it. If you want to buy a cell phone you must declare that the world is billions of years old. If you seek medication from a doctor then you must admit that evolution is real. If you want to use a computer you must sign a statement saying there was no adam and eve, and there was no "great flood." If you care to drive an automobile then you must decree that global warming is real its caused by humans and that this automobile is adding to it. If you want to turn on a light or any other use of electricity, you must admit that there is no god.

Thats probably taking it to far but you get my drift. I honestly don't care if people believe in god, allah, yahweh, leprechaun's, the tooth fair or invisible pink unicorns, just so long as they don't try to interfere with the working of the world by saying well this old book disagrees with your evidence so you can't say that. I don't care what your book says. If you want to throw some inspirational quotes from your book go for it, because it really doesn't matter where an inspirational quote comes from, it doesn't even have to be true so long as it puts you in a positive state of mind. So believe what you want but keep those beliefs the hell outta my way.

I'll also say that this is a war that has been raging since Galileo if not before. Eventually it will come down to black or white, real or fake, natural or supernatural, but now is the wrong time. We need people to move towards reason for a bit longer, we need to weaken there ranks. If everyone was to take a side right now I do not know that we would win, and if we lose we could end up in another dark ages. Don't get me wrong I think that the age of reason will be here soon, but if we push to fast we could stumble and lose a lot of ground.

BTW: for those nay sayers for global warming, I live in upstate NY, winter finally got here, as in a week ago i wasn't wearing a coat, still no snow but at least its cold. Go ahead and blame it on El Nino', but why do you think its such a strong el nino?
