Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    Stop stalling - get those quotes or withdraw the accusation.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      And yes, I know you have a rainbow story, but will you at least acknowledge just how bleak the picture is.

      Its not "When a coal mine is made, a careful plan is follow through to return the area what the state it was in"

      Its more like "In 93% of cases, meaning all the strip mines of the sixties and seventies, the companies are allowed to get away with leaving them as they were. In the remaining 4% of cases, forest, river, valley or mountain, is turned to unused grassland that is designated for grazing even though no cows will graze there. And the last 2% of the time what was actually supposed to be done, is done, and we can claim that's the norm."
      All I know is that EVERY strip mine I know of in Texas has rigid environmental representatives on site, a complete plan is developed, top soil is removed and stored, and the land is returned to a pristine state. The most recent one I was involved with was absolutely beautiful, but was then invaded by a large herd of feral pigs, and they can destroy landscape like nobody's business.

      I'm sorry I don't have a more bleak outlook for you.

        No. He's banking on people giving up in disgust so he can declare victory.
