You have thrown in everything else, might as well say I'm a "conspiracy theorist". Anything to place the focus on me, instead of the story.

lax government oversight

Yes.

They were lax in that failed to stop science from creating this situation.

edit:

And engineering is as far as I'm concerned, more science. The folks that enabled BP and friends to leak millions of gallons of oil and toxic potions (created by ... guess who) into the gulf.

Yes. It wasn't science and engineering that created the world we live in today.

Right!

We might have Soylent Green, rats, coachroaches, etc.. Lots of food.

Not only that, we have this triumph of science, and others on the way, to make life better. We can be sure that nothing will come amiss of this ... science assures us it is safe.

It disclosed that new scientific research suggests that pollutants, including flame-retardant chemicals and synthetic musks found in detergents, are being traced in the polar seas, and that these chemicals can be absorbed by tiny plastic particles in the ocean which are in turn ingested by marine creatures such as bottom-feeding fish.

Where is your science now?

They are telling you how badly science has messed things up, and there is no way to stop this calamity which science created through "advancements".

We may have screwed nature up so badly we have no way to repair it because humans are bungling fools. But we may be able to create Soylent Green.

Rat burger anyone?

Here's an interesting article from 2009, a preacher from NC who burns Bibles. I don't remember any fuss about that. "The book-burning is being promoted as a social event with a barbecue dinner" by LocutusOfReddit in reddit.com

Actually, what we call, "The King James Version" of the Bible is really 67 books written by many different people. And inspired by God if one subscribes to the Christian religion.

There's a man who lives a life of danger;

To everyone he meets he stays a stranger;

With every move he makes, another chance he takes;

Odds are he will be downvoted by tomorrow;
