Whatever you have to tell yourself, I guess.Full of God not myself, that’s the difference.
You've proclaimed you know more than all experts, with no demonstration of such at all.

I have. Hence my response to you.You can go back and look for yourself and see. Read the articles but yeah they sure did put a scare just like they continue to do today.
Are you blaming God for your lack of knowledge and understanding of science? You are passing judgment on areas of expertise that you are not qualified to do, yet don't care. You promote ideas that not only have no factual basis, but are contrary to what facts and data shows us. So "being full of God" could be a metaphor for some sort of irrational framework of belief that is a liability in modern times. Let's note that you have shifted from trying to defend your creationist beliefs and made this discussion about you as an unshakable believer. The irony is this only reveals that your bias against science is religious and not reasoned. Your beliefs are a result of indoctrination, not reason. You seem to think that you as a defiant individual means anything to this debate. It doesn't. Evolution is about facts and methodology, not personal beliefs. Creationists often try to retreat into a personal belief because you have the right to believe nonsense and not be swayed by facts. But your personal beliefs is irrelevant to how evolution is a highly verified theory in science, and essentially a fact of nature.Full of God not myself, that’s the difference.
At the time they could not determine whether carbon dioxide would have the greatest effect, or aerosols and orbital forcing. The proximate trend did appear to be cooling, but before the end of the 70s it was pretty clear that carbon emissions were the dominant concernYou can go back and look for yourself and see.

From what we observe "God" is the aggregate of your adopted Christian dogma and your own personal contributions, not any actual God existing outside of your imagination. You've been asked to demonstrate your God exists and you haven't bothered to do it. So why should anyone accept your claims and references to something unlikely to exist?Full of God not myself, that’s the difference.
The 1970s Ice Age ScareI have. Hence my response to you.
I've seen that terrible website before. See how it's exactly as I described. (Hey, thanks for confirming for me!)The 1970s Ice Age Scare
Some articles at the time, probably was embellishment, there is a lot of that even today as we see in the media, government etc. Even when politicians say the world will end in 12 years etc.
You’re dismissing the articles themselves from that time frame?I've seen that terrible website before. See how it's exactly as I described. (Hey, thanks for confirming for me!)
Try quoting some peer-reviewed science journals instead.
It’s easy to defend Creation by God as described in Genesis. Why? Because it lines up perfectly with what we see and experience in our lives today.Are you blaming God for your lack of knowledge and understanding of science?

I wouldn’t take anything someone says seriously if their thoughts just come from a chemical reaction, would you?From what we observe "God" is the aggregate of your adopted Christian dogma and your own personal contributions, not any actual God existing outside of your imagination.

So you are demonstrating that you prefer anti-science sources?The 1970s Ice Age Scare

False. If you were being honest here then science would back your beliefs up. They don't.It’s easy to defend Creation by God as described in Genesis. Why? Because it lines up perfectly with what we see and experience in our lives today.
What God?What you cannot do is demonstrate a godless creation and evolution from your theory just by one sentence. Who created the non living materials that you’re assuming were at the beginning?
Hosea 13:16Did this happen? Was it said to be a good thing?
What demonstration would suffice for you?What God?
You keep avoiding demonstrating any God exists.
How does this disprove the Bible, if the record is true then it’s true.Hosea 13:16
King James Version
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
I've seen bible-types try to rescue this by claiming it is mere "prophesy" - if that is so, then it is failed prophesy.
I've also seen them claim this is out of context (it isn't).
I've also seen them try to justify it with 'they deserved it' or (paraphrasing) 'God did it so it is OK.'

Why misrepresent my position?How does this disprove the Bible, if the record is true then it’s true.
Oh, I see.Apparently the mustard seed that Jesus was referencing was the smallest seed that the people he was talking in that part of the world would’ve planted at the time.
Facts. You keep referring to God as if it exists factually, so that is what you need to provide.What demonstration would suffice for you?
Not exactly, the parable is a teaching for those he was talking to, the principle of that parable communicates a spiritual truth for everyone.Oh, I see.
So it was NOT true.
Or are you saying that Jesus' teachings only applied to those living in his neighborhood?
