Democrats need to be calling religiious extremists,"stupid."
I propose the idea that we Democrats should be responding to the
debate or attack on science by the extremists or fundalmentalists
Christians, Moslims, and Jewish Americans. We need to call these
extremists stupid. 51 percent of Americans believe God created man in
our present form and 30 percent believe in natural selection cause man
to evolve andGod did not guide the process.
We need to start confronting these fundalmentalist candidates and
point out how stupid they are. On viewing this U-tube program
Discovering Religion, I am amazed at how much we now know regarding
evolution and how environmental changes pushed change thru natural
selection. And how much science has learned since I took high school
and college biology courses in 1966 to 1968.
Herein is a problem we are facing with regard to how this ignorance
leads to witch-doctors preaching their right wing political agendas.
Here is a good U-tube discussion on this subject.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQdkt_JkJQQ&feature=related
I have to warn you that the lead-in to each episode. I suggest you
turn off the sound (mute it) when it repeatedly comes on.
Here are two additional good programs.

The Battle for Earth 2Neanderthal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj-JZnpcSsM&feature=relmfu
Here are some of my notes that I made while watching these U-tube
videos.
Earth is 4.5 billion years old
Arizona state SenatorSylvia Allen (R) and Young Earth
creationistsbelieve Earth is only 6,000 years old
The fundamentalists in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions are
odds with the fact of evolution and natural selection as the most
likely being a fact or some yet unknown reason humans evolved.
Evangelicals state the "evolution" is the number one alternative to
(the idea of) God.
Scientist like to use the word "theory" to explain what they think is
the truth.In the case for human evolution there is such an enormous
body of evidence/facts noted from scientific work over the last 150
years.But outside of the world of scientist, most educated people use
the word "fact" when discussing evolution and natural selection, as
well during political debates.
400 million years ago animals made the move from water to land.Fish
developed walking legs before they moved onto land.
300 million years ago the Earth was covered with forests and mammals
began returning to the water.
180 million years ago Archeaopteryx, a half reptile and half bird
lived. Other Dinosaurs had feathers.
50 million years ago the whale stated to develop and stated losing
their hind legs and the nose moved to the top of their head so they
could more easily breath while swimming as they moved their spines up
and down, just as a dog bends its spin while running.Fish swim by
moving their spines back and forth.
Because of Earth's plate tectonics, takes 100 million years to form a
mountain range or ocean basin.
Diamonds are formed with carbon from peat moss gets pushed 100 miles
underground where the weight of the earth above creates enough
pressure to turn carbon into a diamond crystal.
65 million years ago a meteor hit the Earth causing mass extinction of
many species including dinosaurs. The Earth's climate became hotter
and tropical forests covered most of the land.
Light travels 671 million miles per hour or 5.87 trillion miles in one
year.
Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence shows that the banana
has been in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guiana for at least
since 5,000 to8,000 BDE/ BC.It is likely that other species were later
and independently domesticated cultivated and selectively bread
elsewhere in southeast Asia.It is likely that other species were later
and independently domesticated elsewhere in southeast Asia.
Carolus Linnaeus in the mid to late 1700's, develop taxonomy to name
and classify forms of life on earth that god had created.The inability
of two similar looking animals to produce viable offspring is what
defines a specie.
Darwin in 1859 wrote a book aboutidea of the origin of new species
occurred as an adaptation to their environment thru natural selection
as they became separated from each other's intermediate form .For
example, horse adapted to their habitat in Asia become so different
from zebras that adapted in Africa, that when bread, they produce
infertile offspring. He also came up with the idea that all animal
life developed from a shared animal that adapted into the various
kinds of animals.
65 million years ago every animal now living today would not yet
exist.Evolution states that all animals living today developed from
their own evolutionary line and from intermediate forms due to natural
selection.
Widom teeth and appendix are vestigial structures.
500,000 years ago Europe was a cold place and possibly as many as
100,000 Neanderthals lived in from Israel in the south to Uzbekistan
and Ukraine to the east, Poland, Germany, and Wales to the north,to
Portugal, with southwest France being the home to as many as 3,000 of
them.The lived in caves in groups in size from eight to 25
members.They had shorter and had much stronger bowed leg bones and
bodies with more muscles than that homo sapiens, and a nose better
adapted to a cold climate.They ate up to 85 percent meat, whereas homo
sapiens only eat 12 percent meat. They made knives from flint rocks
and spears from flint tips.Starvation was one of the major reasons for
an individuals death and half of the children died before
adolescence.So we don't see their populations out growing their animal
food supply.
The divergence date of Neanderthals and homo sapiens occurred 660,000
years ago, plus or minus 140,000 years, so they are a different
species of human.
When life will end on Earth?
Scientists think and I believe our planet is approximately 4.5 billion
years old and that life is at least 3.4 billion years old.It is also
predicted that the last animals on this planet will die out as early
as 500 million years from now because of heating and cooling cycles of
Earth caused by the physical interactions between the Sun, Moon, and
Earth.
Earth's climate will get hotter toward the ecology of hundreds of
millions of years ago.And this increase in temperature has nothing to
do with human caused global climate change due to our production of
CO2.This is the science of how life on Earth will end, just as the
science of evolution and geology, etc. proved for us how life began.
As life on Earth and humanoid apes evolved, it is now pretty clear and
a fact that our Sun, Earth and moon are just the right circumstances
coming together.The Earth gets just right amount of heat from the sun
and it is titled at some 23 to 24.5 degree as it orbits the sun
annually.We were lucky enough to have just the right combinations for
the development of water, ice, and carbon based life/cells that
produced 21 percent oxygen in the air.
Scientists have been able to learn what the temperatures on Earth were
like millions of years ago and they learned there are repeated ice
ages and very hot times, and that we are now living in what is highly
likely the end of a present ice age cycle.
At the mid-point of our now ending ice age resulted in mile-high ice
sheets over the northern part of the US.
Life on Earth will end, but don't worry.It is not relevant to our next
100 or 1,000s of generations of humans. If I recall correctly, the
time frame is in the 100,000s of years or millions of years.I didn't
even bother to remember this fact because it is a waste of my time.If
you don't believe me?Read the below noted book or listen to the
scientists.
But it is a subject of scientific research and thinking, such that you
and I can now believe what the truth is about the "END TIMES" or when
Earth and life will end.
The Life and Death of Planet Earth, by Peter D. Ward and Donald
Brownlee
Now this does not mean we ignore that fact that scientist are telling
usthat the Earth can only sustain one billion people without cheap oil
and natural gas, fresh water, rare minerals, top soil, etc.And this is
why I have started this group..
Running on Empty Caucus of Democrats in the United States
SEE
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ROEcaucusUSDemocrats/
The purpose of a group, a political caucus, is to teach other citizens
what scientistare telling us is the truth.The secondary goal is that
we may or may not win the power to force our local, state national
government or other nation's governments to change things toward
rationally and ethically sustainable goals.
This is a group of Democrats (working class liberals) who believe the
end of cheap oil and natural gas and global climate change will result
in an extreme disaster.I hope to link up with other like minded people
in other countries of Earth. And should technology not find a solution
to making sustainable energy (aka the Apollo project) , we need backup
plans.
1. There are no sustainable energy sources that will rescue us at our
current population levels and so we must reduce our population and HOW
it should be reduced is a question for civil society.
2. Population reduction must be a part of any plan to rationally deal
with peak oil (the end of cheap oil, natural gas, and coal), global
climate change, biological/species decline, and natural resource
depletion.
3. Global climate change will only be mitigated with extremely
stringent emissions policies that reduce consumption rates and this
must be done before fossil fuels are depleted.
4. Our government and/or political system have no chance whatsoever to
react soon enough to help us, but I will still work to support
Democrats in elections.
THE END OF GROWTH
BY RICHARD HEINBERG Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet
unemployment remains high, real estate values continue to sink, and
governments stagger under record deficits. The End of Growth proposes
a startling diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning
point in its economic history.
