Thus endeth the reading of the gospel according to Jon.

Max, it's an article of faith with these folks. Challenging their gospel

like urging that the Bible is not divinely inspired--you'll never get
that
concession from the ultra-devout.


No. It's an article of faith in science. Rightwing nuts have no interest

It's an article of faith in what you choose to believe. There is easily as
much science disputing the human-induced global warming theory as that
supporting it. The circumspect will wait until the dust settles a bit
before jumping on any particular bandwagon.
