| he supports using fossil fuels, but whenever i bring up something that goes against it he finds something to combat it. I've said the normal stuff, global warming, climate change, etc. What else should I tell him? |

Look on the bright side AT LEAST IT ISNT YOUR BIOLOGY TEACHER YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT TEACHES EVOLUTION FOR A YEAR
The key is just to do lots of research and counter the stupid sh*t they say

To be fair he isn't exactly wrong on that one Neither are you Oil can make a country prosper but it can also get the country attacked (ex. recent middle eastern invasions by USA)

| I think he's a creationist, but I'm not exactly sure. I'm an atheist, but everyone in my school is christian or like 5/6 people are other religions. He's hinted at it, but I don't know. |

But, once oil prices go down, there economies go to crap. Also, they tend to have cheap labor laws and it's basically an oligarchy. |

He said that 'At the rate the U.S is going now, they will run out in 500 years. I want to say he's an idiot, but I can't, he's actually really smart in other things. |

In 500 years, global warming will make earth uninhabitable if we don't make measures to lower emissions.
#code if then or not if then -- that is the question |

I recommend mentioning that, for an example much of the middle east is a one-resource economy in regards to oil One resource=unstable economy unstable=bad

I dont think that statistic is right But he has the mentality of "as long as I die before it happens it doesnt matter!" which is bad 500 years isnt even that long in the scheme of things |

We're at peak oil right now. After that ends, which won't be too far ahead (I don't know the exact time, but 500 years seems a bit high) It'll likely go to "soaring gas prices, the end of globalization, widespread anarchy and the relentless exploitation of previously protected drilling sites." (howstuffworks)

I'm not trying to change his beliefs, but he's a science teacher. Kids who don't know this and getting taught this bull crap, and if no one's going to debate him I have to. |

I normally agree, but politics aside it is like a teacher teaching WWII in history and also being a holocaust denier or a bio teacher being a creationist It's a bit difficult to teach accepted fact when you don't agree with it
If you don't view it as accepted fact, I'll use the comparison of a muslim teaching catholic school

Online tests have identified me as some sort of egalitarian or a traditionalist. In principle, though, I support traditional capitalism (not modern "American" consumerist capitalism, but producer-oriented, European capitalism.) Religiously, I am a Christian Protestant, who takes a Thomian view of metaphysics. Let all that speak for itself.
I would argue that it's time to start innovating our energy resources. People keep acting like science is an irrelevant issue in the political field in and of itself, and I really think that is an unhealthy attitude. Both science and politics depend on each other, and seek the betterment of mankind. I feel we should make education in the sciences and the arts a larger issue than it currently stands. |
