Physics experiment - "temperature equalization" - in Texas

Quote

A Texas man charged with causing the death of his six-month-old daughter
by leaving her in a hot car put the baby in a refrigerator after finding her in desperate
condition in the back of his vehicle, a document released on Wednesday said.

Michael Thedford, a 33-year-old, unemployed high school teacher,
was arrested in Collin County, outside of Dallas, on Tuesday.

According to a probable cause affidavit released on Wednesday, he dropped off his two other children,
ages 3 and 5, at daycare but forgot about his baby daughter in the back of the car.
He went into his home and fell asleep.

His wife was at work at the time of the incident, according to police.

Some four hours later he discovered his daughter strapped into her car safety seat.
He took her out, placed her in a refrigerator “for an undetermined amount of time,” and called 911, the affidavit said.

He later placed the infant on the kitchen floor and attempted CPR on the baby before emergency responders arrived, it said.

He said his daughter was stiff and “hot as a brick” when he found her in the vehicle, the affidavit said. The outdoor temperature at the time was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32°C).

Creationism. Abortions are ebil. The earth is 4000 years old and man cohabited with dinosaurs. Don't bother to try to reason with people who buy this nonsense. Oh yes, gawd told them to kill their miraculs for whatever reason....blah blah blah.

Don't plan your famblee because the big sky bully will take care of you. It is gawd's will. Have faith. Believe. Buy cheap crap from China. Consume. Reproduce. Go to church. Tithe.

My mechanic is one of these 6000 year old earth believers. I love the guy and he's great with my wheels but the level of denial or really,belief, is scary. But it was beaten into him by his parents. These same parents, with their good book, damaged him emotionally and he's always seeking approval. Oddly, he's CF. Which is good. Because he's a little....touched.

You really shouldn't generalize like that. You can believe in creationism, and also abortions. Statements like the ones you posted are really grating.

By that logic, putting a drowned loaf in a dessert will bring it back, and putting a starved loaf in a pantry will bring it back.

Well to be fair, having a belief in a 6000-year-old Earth and an anti-abortion stance are very common pairings, like chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese's cup.
