Creationist = Anti-Environmentalist?

I've been debating with a creationist (if you can call it that, when his position seems to consist of insisting that I am naive and not party to the special knowledge he has gained from the Bible and his relationship with God), and interestingly he's always throwing the "global warming conspiracy" into the mix as well. The thing about this person, though, is that he consistently swears that he is not part of any established religion. It seems unusual to meet a fundy who's not part of a flock but there you go. There's good evidence, though, that he listens to people like Kent Hovind. Are any of the creationist evangelical leaders like him spreading misinformation about global warming? My guess is that's where he's getting it from.

Ah, right. I'd never met any before. This one says the Bible is his only authority. He's always on about prophecies, gemmatria, etc. I'm sure he wants me to believe that he is some kind of independent thinker, but at the same time he keeps trying to get me to watch Hovind videos LOL. Is anyone here familiar enough with creationists like Hovind to know if they are telling everyone that global warming is a myth?

Yes, this would also explain why I've just been told that evolution is part of the communist conspiracy. There's not an original bone in this guy's body.Oh, I just had to add that he says he phoned up Hovind's son the other day to see if everything was all right. Can you say C-R-E-E-P?Edited by LindaLou, : No reason given.

Absolutely. I haven't known any fundies personally in my life, but everything you're saying here chimes with the people I've been talking with on another forum. And with what I hear coming out of the windows of the church next door on a Sunday when I'm hanging my washing up.They really want that end-of-the-world apocalyptic party don't they? One of them has been insisting to me that the US government wants to tattoo a bar code on everyone's hand that secretly reads "666".

I quite think this is on topic, though Admin is welcome to tell me otherwise.If you've seen me talking elsewhere on the forum, then you've seen hardline skeptics give me a very difficut time when I've given anecdotal information. I perhaps will accept it in some cases, where others of a more scientific bent would not. I think you'll find my skeptic bar is fairly high overall though. There's no harm to myself or anyone else in choosing to believe that poltergeists may be real. However, there is great harm to be done if someone is in denial of global warming. There is plenty to be done by teaching children that science is a myth. Anyone who argues otherwise is obliged to present some very clear-cut empirical evidence to support their case.
