This article is a joke. Bethell is not a supporter of creationism. The author doesn't even explain what he means by 'creationism' (ID, TE, YEC, OEC --- since critics of anything with a hint of purpose will label it 'creationism'). The author doesn't even understand Bethell's point regarding global warming. Bethell never stated "global warming isn't happening"; he denies that human interaction is the main cause for global warming. The author of this article states that Bethell supports pseudo-science; only because the author is displaying pseudo-integrity with his/her pseudo-logic. --jorgekluney.

In the 1980s, Bethell was a regular contributor to the American Spectator, which I read in those days. I recall his skepticism re Darwinism. Bethell may even have been the first time I saw Phillip E. Johnson's name in print. You could well be right re Bethell and global warming. I do NOT believe that any disagreement about the causes of global warming is pseudo science. I let the claim to the contrary stand, because 86.142.9.1 accused me of whitewashing when I removed it, and undid ALL my edits. I invite any and all to edit the accusations levelled at Bethell as they see fit.132.181.160.42 01:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
