 [11:52]  it's wrong [11:52]  You'd be surprised by how much of the country denies it :P [11:52]  sooooooo [11:52]  The PARTY gets lobbied, the base has to deal with the effects of climate change [11:52]  No, I know they're out there :P [11:52]  I'm just saying that it's growing less common [11:52]  A third of the country is creationist [11:52]  Which says a lot [11:52]  Not a crime :P [11:52]  Oh Dahrk ... [11:53]  Stop messing up history please [11:53]  No, but a testament to our flawed education system. :P [11:53]  Like if people are constantly hammering in the message that climate change is all your fault and there are NO OTHER POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS. Then yeah, I see how people out of anger start denying it. kinda [11:53]  does that even make sense [11:53]  I don't know [11:53] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> a bit [11:53] <Impossibubbles> I also think people see what they want to see [11:53] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Although the checks offered by companies are what encourage the Republican party to deny it more than anything [11:53] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> [11:53] <Impossibubbles> and if you've been raised a certain way and taught one way your whole life [11:53] <Impossibubbles> then [11:54] <AmazingPythor> Okay 30% of Americans deny climate change apparently [11:54] <Impossibubbles> you're gonna keep on seeing what you want to see [11:54] <Impossibubbles> that's less than I expected, ap [11:54] <AmazingPythor> Same actually :P [11:54] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> That's my point, it isn't half :{P [11:54] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It isn't all conservatives :P [11:54] <AmazingPythor> But still [11:54] <Impossibubbles> All the deniers are dying off xDDD [11:54] <AmazingPythor> That's quite disturbing (derp) [11:54] <Chrismajor2124> Fascinating [11:54] <Impossibubbles> cuz I'm sure it's mostly old people just saying [11:55] <Chrismajor2124> Well that's ... morbid [11:55] <AmazingPythor> You'd be surprised I think, never underestimate ignorance in this country. :P [11:55] <Impossibubbles> sorry, but, kinda true (derp4) [11:55] <Impossibubbles> Also again [11:55] <Impossibubbles> like [11:55] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Creationists are amusing, though, seeing as a number of churches including the Catholic church don't view Genesis as a factual line of events :P [11:55] <Impossibubbles> being raised a certain way [11:55] <Impossibubbles> some people are hard headed and will only see what they want [11:56] <AmazingPythor> Yeah a lot of Christians view it as metaphorical [11:56] <Chrismajor2124> Hmm [11:56] <AmazingPythor> brb [11:56] <Impossibubbles> My mom is a creationist, but like, I don't know how [11:56] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Mostly Southern Baptists and Methodists don't [11:56] <Impossibubbles> she went to wheaton [11:56] <Impossibubbles> none of the professors there are creationists [11:56] <AmazingPythor> Aren't your grand parents in the Tea Party [11:56] <AmazingPythor> Why did I put a space there [11:56] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> What qualifies for membership in the Tea Party? :{P [11:57] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Being insane? :P [11:57] <Chrismajor2124> Ouch [11:57] <AmazingPythor> *affiliate with :P [11:57] <Impossibubbles> But I mean, I guess if you're a Christian and you really honestly believe in god and that he's all powerful, I guess he could have done it the way it says in the bible? (derp) [11:57] <Impossibubbles> If he really wanted to? (derp) [11:57] <Chrismajor2124> I would dare argue there's more overlap between universe origin theories and the Bible than most would admit [11:59] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I find religion and science to not be at odds with each other. For example, if you're buddhist, you might view natural history as a cycle of rebirth [11:59] <Chrismajor2124> The Big Bang was a massive explosion of matter and energy that kickstarted the universe, and we've detected interstellar light radiation we extrapolated to a common source. "Then God said 'let there be light' and there was light." More connection than many would like to admit [11:59] <Jahchildren> I'm gonna go. \o [11:59] <Impossibubbles> o/ [11:59] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Cya, Jah [11:59] <Chrismajor2124> Adios amigo
