| Gore quotes creationist blasphemy in global warning lecture |
| 2007-05-03 |
| Tim Blair A young Canadian Gore disciple – he’s seen An Inconvenient Truth three times - attends a Gore lecture, only to discover something terrible: I had read blog comments before which indicated that Al Gore is a religious man, which intrigued me, because from his movie, he comes across as a man who is ready to accept science as the proper methodology (versus evangelical faith in biblical literalism). He did not mention any kind of religious beliefs in the movie … The blasphemer quotes rival scripture! The slide I found particularly interesting/shocking/sad, was his new(?) slide containing a graph of human population growth over the past couple hundred-thousand years. It started off good. He pointed at the beginning of the graph, showing the population of humans on Earth from 200,000 years ago, and referred to the “rise of humans." Apparently those words are a grave insult to the Sciencian faith. He tarnishes his beautifully crafted presentation by not only stating his belief in creationism - but by placing the words “Adam and Eve” right on the slide (which is actually a scientific graph) as a caption explaining the beginnings of mankind. He put the terrible words RIGHT ON A SCIENTIFIC GRAPH? Forget Korans down toilets, people. This is serious. |

| #6 GORT dear, even the thought of hurting someone makes me cry. But I'm always willing to be helpful and take advantage of the teachable moment. |

| #3 Ah well, a change of citizenship, career and sex will take care of that, eh? There is a streak of man-eating snark beneath that placid little American housewife exterior. It's one of the things I like about you. |

| #2 But the geneticists do talk about an Adam and an Eve, from each of whom all humans are descended genetically. The Eve connection is through the mitochondria, as I understand it, which is only passed down through the eggs of the mothers; I think the Adam connection is traced through some genes on the Y chromosome. So we all are descended from these two individuals... only they apparently were located some distance and 10,000 years or so apart. Clearly the young Canadian disciple (a religious term, that) is not quite as knowledgeable as little American housewives. Ah well, a change of citizenship, career and sex will take care of that, eh? |

| #1 What Al's left-wing worshippers don't remember is that Al Gore attended divinity school at Vanderbilt University after his stint as a military journalist. This may explain his passion, God gave us a beautiful planet and he believes man is screwing it up. Environmentalism is a religious concern to him. |
