A moderate Baptist ethicist commented that what gets Falwell in trouble "is not what he doesn't know, but what he knows that just isn't so."
"Falwell speaks with the certitude of a no-nothing buffoon," said Robert Parham of the Baptist Center for Ethics." His flat-earth theology is wrong. His misuse of the Bible for reactionary politics is wrong. His dichotomy between evangelism and environmentalism is wrong. His demonization of thoughtful pro-environment Christians is wrong."
"Like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell misspeaks every time he speaks," Parham said. "That must create another nightmare for Southern Baptists."

"His flat-earth theology is wrong."!
Now Robert Parham should know that the flat-earth theory was concocted by Washington Irving and peddled in the 19th century as the key element in promoting Darwinism. The science of evolution wasn't very compelling, so something else was needed to insure compliance. (ref. Inventing the Flat Earth") It is an irony that he then invokes this to criticize Falwell in the case of Global Warming, inadvertently proving Falwell's argument!

Huh?! I didn't believe that creationists could dig any deeper;
thank you for showing me that I was mistaken.
