ModeratorPlease choose one and explain. If you chose religion, please be specific as to why.I chose AGW over evolution because the "solutions" have and will have the biggest negative impact on mankind.

KeymasterI don't think that the theory of evolution is a “scam” at all, depending on how one explains it. And even if one uses this theory to explain it in a way that I disagree with I don't know that I would consider it a “scam”.I also think that AGW may or may not be true, but there is simply too much science involved to get an adequate grasp of it right now and certainly we can't be making $45 trillion decisions to "attack" something that we can't even be sure of. So the "scam" is really when people claim it to be the infallible truth. But presently the world hasn't totally accepted AGW to be true, so it's not the biggest "scam".In the end I chose "other". The biggest scam is the one that exists somewhere out there but of which I am not yet aware.

You must not watch the mainstream news a lot. 😀 It's all over the place...it sure seems that AGW is accepted on a global scale. 😮

ParticipantI went with evolution because it's sole purpose is to rid humanity of its Creator. 🙁

ParticipantThough I put religion, I'm going to explain specific religions, no just religion itself. There are some out there that scam people using religion. Terrorists use religion and scam people to blow themselves up. Other have used religion to scam people out of money or to turn them into cult followers. I don't belive evolution is a scam, and global warming is a part of the ever continual climate change.

ParticipantI chose other because while I dont buy global warming and think that there must be a grain of truth to evolution. I cant choose religion because I dont think it is a scam, I do however think that some people use religion for evil purposes, terrorists and Televangelists come to mind. The biggest scam is definitely the one we don't know about, it might even turn out that democracy is the biggest scam by convincing us all that we have a say in the running of the country when in fact, the elites of old are either still in power or have only been replaced by a new elite; the second is the theory I favor. We have replaced the aristocracy of birth with the aristocracy of wealth as the definer of who rules the world.

ParticipantI went with “Theory of Evolution”. I don't see how people thought we where created any other way than by God.
