Do you have any evidence whatsoever to support this? Do you have any evidence that OZONE depletion is the one and only cause of skin cancer? Do you have any evidence to contradict the evidence that people have been getting skin cancer for thousands of years? Do you even read the parts of my posts about UVB rays? UVB rays are not blocked at all by the OZONE layer, but according to the experts, they also cause cancer. Nothing in the atmosphere blocks UVB rays, they have always gotten right through, for as much as millions of years.

I see. So if you piss of god, expect torture and murder. But other than that, god is all about feeling good. Kinda like, um, Bush?

Oh my god. Do you understand the process of carbon dating (which puts the earth closer to 4 billion years)? Google it, please. I beg you.

As I said, suspending the laws of science to explain god is symptomatic of the effect that groupthink can have on people. It's dangerous, you see, because if one is able to dismiss what their eyes see and their ears hear for god, what else are they capable of? When you shut off the part of your brain that asks why, and is capable of learning, you condemn yourself to simplicity.
