I wonder if the same things go on in evolutionary scientific cycles that
occur in meteorology and climate science. How much dissent has been
quashed without it ever going public, like the Anglia fiasco?

Given that most of evolutionary biology is useless as a tit on a bull,
contrary to climate change science which will cost humanity quite dearly
and requires unsurmountable change, I bet it won't even make any headlines.

None, you are welcome to submit and publish any evidence for creationism
that you can come up with, but unless it can pass peer-review for a
scientific journal, it will be ignored.

Failing to take action on fossil fuel emissions now will have two effects:
rapidly increasing prices for coal and oil over the medium term, and rising
temperatures. If you can live with both of these, fine. But don't complain
about the "price of gas".

I guess you'd have hack into the private e-mail accounts of

Your opinion that studying biological evolutionis useless is nothing
more than a reflection of your willful ignorance and short
sightedness. If global warming is actually occuring, studies in
biology *and* evolution will likely provide some insites on how to
deal with GW. After all, you ignorant piece of crap, what is one of
the major factors in the process of biological evolution? *The
Environment, stupid*. Now, given that the Earth had gone through
warm and cool cycles, and given the studies of those periods on
geological time, and given that many of the beginning and ends of
those cycle are also marked by *extinction events* followed by
relatively rapid diversification of species, you ignorantly proclaim
that the study of biological evolution is *worthless or irrelevant*?

You're just as much of a 'tard as Mr. Cambrian Mammal = Trilobite!

gee...the creationist seeks to paint with a wide brush

why not start with basic? go ahead, moron. tell us why the earth is
the center of the solar system since evidence to the contrary could be
quashed.

why not tell us why germs dont exist, and we need to sacrifice goats
to stop disease, because evidence to the contrary is quashed

stars don't exist. they're lights from angels. evidence...well you get
the idea.

the fact is the climate change controversy shows EXACTLY how science
is self correcting. scientists have data on BOTH sides of the issue
and have published their data

evidence against evoluiton? aint none. there's as much dissent about
evoluiton as there is about the existence of atoms.

but, to a creationist, we should still be sacrificing goats. after
all, germs don't exist. evidence to the contrary has been suppressed.

Dissent in science is encouraged, and rewarded when successful.

Meanwhile, Creationism has yielded nothing of value for over one
milliin years, and Creationists have not changed their beliefs
based on evidence ever.

It isn't enough just to claim that you are skeptical; ToE is totally and
generally accepted among literally millions of the world's scientists. So
if you want to replace it, you have to come up with a better model that
others will accept. So far you haven't put up.

Wait and see. If I'm wrong, we will at the least save and regenerate our
rain forests and extend the life of our fossil fuel resources. If I'm
right, we will prevent a major disaster. Sure, the human race will survive
major GW, in the sense that there are always survivors. But how many
billions will die in the process?

If they mention creationists or creationist students at all, the
creationists will be mocked, sneered at, laughed at, regarded as
ignorant, if not necessarily stupid, cretins who know nothing. They
will be resented as anti-science kooks who damage the entire society
with their conspiracy nuttery and anti-science progroms about teaching
evolution and any science that goes against their idiotic ideas.
Their so-called publications (which, if anything, are much rarer and
much worse than the anti-global warming deniers publications) will be
considered to be pseudoscientific crap that isn't worth the paper it's
written on.

IOW, the results there will look like what you see here.

As if taking action will reduce the price of gas and lower
temperatures over the "medium" term?

I didn't claim that it would lower these prices. I said that failure to
take action would lead to rapidly increasing prices in the medium term. I
didn't specify exactly what "medium term" was, but you can take it that it
is of the order of 2-20 years, caused by the supply and demand situation.
The only reason the fuel price bubble burst last year was the economic
crisis. This recession will not last forever.

Also, at this stage, most predictions tell us that temperatures will not get
lower. Global warming will continue because too much CO2 has already been
pumped into the atmosphere adn will continue to be added. Taking action may
prevent them from rising as sharply as some scenarios predict if nothing is
done.
