I’m not being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of these little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this big world. Someday you'll understand that. “Now, now. Here's looking at you, kid."

But man DIDN"T "destroy" the Garden of Eden-----he was kicked out.
And using your see the future/predestination argument, why create it in the first place?????

We agree!?

Oh, no! This could be a sign that the world really IS coming to and end. (but not from global warming :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:)

The Garden of Eden is supposedly in the Middle East unless it is just a metaphor for people doing evil deeds and losing God's grace.

Destroying the place where future generations will be living seems evil. Especially if the scientific community views that destruction as being able to be mitigated by man's efforts. Sticking your head in the sand and just saying it is all part of Mother Nature's designs seems like turning your back on your kids', grandkids' and great grandkids' futures.

Actually brings up an interesting question. According to Genesis, the Garden of Eden was at the confluence of 4 rivers--the Tigris, the Euphrates, and 2 that are unknown to us, putting it somewhere near the head of the Persian Gulf.

But since it is no longer there, and man was kicked out and didn't "destroy" it, what happened? Did God destroy it? But according to your post, that would make God evil. Or perhaps, the desert eventually took over, over time, just as ongoing cycles of glaciation and interglacial thaws are dominating our climate. I'd hate to think God turned his back on his children and grandchildren.

It is still there.

Really?????

Where do I sign up for a tour???

Does it depend if it is on the Iraqi side or the Iranian side of the Euphrates?

Where Is the Garden of Eden? What We Know of it'''s Location

You kind of opened this up to religion a few posts back. I do prefer to talk about science.

Right here. You bring in religion. I prefer science and I see Global Warming clues every day on the news. As have most of the scientific community the world over. Accept Global Warming as a danger that needs to be addressed NOW.

Revisionist "history"???? and only a few posts back. It was fdp... that quoted Jesus on the cross in post # 58, the first religious reference in this thread. I merely corrected the quote to make it applicable to climate change advocates. Then YOU first mentioned the Garden of Eden. Sorry to confuse you with the facts (again)

Uhhhh. Wrong again, in 2 consecutive posts. It was not I that introduced religion to this thread. And I much prefer science. However, this "your children and grandchildren will die from global warming" or "the world will end in 2030" is NOT science---more of a pseudoscientific cult that doesn't even realize they are being used by certain powerful people to push an agenda with a HUGE profit motive and HUGE political gain. What was the term coined in years gone by? "Useful idiots"?

When do usefull idiots become useless idiots? Asking for a friend

What was it that you just said about having a debate without "snark"?

How many times are you going to repeat that same old "DEBUNKED" statistic?
