Well, if the movie is based on junk science, then is it still Ok? Even if there's only a few lies? Do the ends always justify the means? If so, then you might as well be a Conservative Christian, as we all know that gay marriages and illegal aliens are gonna cause Fire and Brimstone to rain from the Heavens. War on Christmas, War on Some Drugs, War on Marriage, War on the Environment, War on Poverty... it all comes from the same place.
I'm not going to argue with you very hard about watching that movie. I have no interest in seeing it at all...
I have a question for you, though, since you are the Science Guy... What's up with Polar Shift? I read some stuff about that a few years ago, and it seems to me we should be right in the beginnings of that cycle, yet nobody seems to be talking about it. Everybody's getting all hot and bothered over tenths of a degree in temperature, yet ignoring the idea that the poles could be in the process of flip-flopping. I've heard about every asteroid or comet that might be coming within our airspace in the next thousand years, but nothing about an event that could leave this planet looking like Mars...
