The sky is red. Gravity does not exist. Cars are killing the earth. The earth is billions of years old. O and one more thing, the salmon population, yea it will be gone tomorrow. You have probably already dropped me another letter grade for that ridiculous series of phrases, but I assure you that Robert Hass has done the same thing. This takes the cake; it involves my two MOST HATED TOPICS, evolution and tree- huggers. I love the outdoors, and I was excited to share stories about when I was on top of mountains and I could see for miles and see all of God’s beauty, but can I do that, no, I have to show how this,… gentleman, is so very sadly mistaken. I LOVE the outdoors, it may sound like a contradiction but hunters and fishermen are the most eco-friendly people I can think of. Hass made comments about how cars are killing the earth when I have to make the statement that cows give off more carbon dioxide in their flatulence. I will leave the salmon topic until the end where I think you will be interested in my discussion.
To be honest, the whole evolution topic just solidifies my lack of toleration to this person. How narrow minded can one be to think that we come out of pond scum? I reject it on the grounds that we go to a Christian school and I fully believe that it is wrong. Cell reproduction is something that I saw when reading and sat back in my chair and said, “Wait that is wrong” I am not a logically minded person I must add so for me to think that immediately is slightly crazy. I did some research and I found this:” the mass of substances produced (products) by a chemical reaction is always equal to the mass of the reacting substances (reactants).” (http://www.mi.mun.ca/users/edurnfor/1100/atomic%20structure/tsld004.htm)
If Hass is right then EVERY SCIENCE BOOK AND EVERY PROFESSOR is wrong.
I have personal proof discrediting Hass about how the salmon and every other fish is dying and being fished out. At my home in Port St. Lucie, there are a few jars of fish in the laundry room. Those jars are filled with salmon FROM SEATTLE, where Hass said that “Pacific salmon nosing against dams…to Seattle and Portland.” The salmon population is back. A couple years ago the state of Washington opened back a salmon season back up, the first in years, and the reason why was because of the fact that the salmon population came back. It is strong again and why might you ask, well it is because of conservation and FISH LADDERS. Yes, those very ladders that Hass said was destroying the population are actually helping the entire species of salmon. With hatcheries in Alaska the probability of salmon hatching and living to spawn is significantly higher. It simply makes sense, if the fish is larger when it leaves the hatchery, then it will be less likely to be eaten by something bigger. Now I need to make sure you understand that I am talking about hatcheries and not farms, there is a huge difference. Hatcheries are where the eggs and laid and fertilized, the adult humanely dies through the introduction of an electric shock (the salmon dies after it breeds anyways) and then when the eggs hatch and get large enough, they are released into the wild to go out into the ocean. A farm is where the egg lives into a fully grown salmon and then is sold to a food warehouse. Farms are illegal in Alaska, whereas I actually got to visit a hatchery.
I assure you that I am not a person that hates everything I just have difficulty when this liberal, tree- hugging, evolutionist makes these crazy comments that disobey the laws of science, and uses theories as a law. There is a huge difference between a theory and a law in science.
