In a world with many differing views only 1 can be right. Facts do not stand on there own. They have to be interpreted in a worldview. Everyone has a worldview, even if it is that you don't.
Moore's worldview is that the white-man is the cause of all of the problems in the world. It is also that if Bush hadn't been elected that 9/11 wouldn't have happened.
Moore would rather blame the person fighting the terrorist, over the people that actually committed the atrocity of 9/11. Do you see how Moore's worldview or presuppositions shape the end outlook?
We do have the right of free speech in this country. We also have laws against slander. I think it says a lot about Bush that he can take the constant bereavement of his character by people without character.
Kerry on the other hand freaks out when one group of people, whom he actually spent time with, question his character. Kerry could simply prove them wrong if the charges are false and sue them for slander. They are making clear and concise claims. He, or should I say his wife, has enough money to sue the pants of these guys. In this issue with Kerry and the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, there are 2 versions of the story. On the Swift Boat's side they have multiple people with 1 version of the events. On the Kerry side, you have 1 person with multiple versions of the events. Who seems more believable?
In conclusion, I am glad we live in a land where a bigot like Moore can make his movie and not be put in jail. I wish Moore had more morals and some truth in his movie, but I will defend his right to show it.
The Bible does not advocate man destroying the planet. It is quite clear that God will destroy the earth when he is ready. All I was give the idea of global warming some context to the rest of time.
I think this whole discussion of global warming hinges on a key presupposition, which is how old is the earth. If you have faith in evolution then you see it being billions of years old, depending on whom you talk to. However if you believe that God created the universe, as recorded in Genisis, then you can conclude the earth is about 7,000 years old. This conclusion can be dirived by the geneologies in the Bible. If the earth is only 7,000 years old then the environmental changes of the 1900's are not that drastic. However if these changes are compared to the believed temperatures of the earth for billions of years it is a scary thing. So like most discusssions, it comes back to orgins. Do you have faith in the word of God, or you evolution and own limited autonomy.

I am always up for cheap computing power.
Man is only 7000 years or so old. Why is that a problem? The Bible is clear if you add up the ages of those people found in the genologies.
