Question

What part does religion play in your feelings about global warming,or that using fossil fuels has caused it?

Answer 1

Religion plays a large part in believing global warming.  AGW and religion both require faith to believe they are true, both require a consensus to explain the contradictions, both require a hierarchy to determine who is the best person to follow.

AGW is not an objective science.  No one can prove that it will be warmer or cooler 5 years from now any better than a coin toss.  Only faith leads a person to believe if it will be warmer.

This is why science needs to remain objective.  AGW should be proof that religion and faith should be kept out of science.

Answer 2

same as my belief in evolution, physics and chemistry. not at all.

Answer 3

I haven't tapped on that, I go by the science behind it.

Answer 4

i think that people created this problem. God told us that we need to take care of our world. we are doing a poor job of it.

Answer 5

None, of curse. The existance of man-made global warming is a matter of science, not religion.

Answer 6

Thankfully i do not have that governor to distort my views even further, than modern society and politics already do.

Answer 7

I'm a devout atheist. So I have no problem looking at the geological and climatological history of the planet and realizing that the Earth's weather pattern has constantly changed.

Ice ages have come and gone.

Climate change is real. Man-made global warming is a myth.

Answer 8

Non.  I am not a religious fanatic.  I go to church maybe a couple times a year.  But I have found that most of the fanatical supporters of AGW are also anti-capitalist and anti-religion.  So I have trouble trusting people like them.

Answer 9

No part.

Answer 10

Actually, it just may.

In the beginning when God put Adam and Eve in the garden. He commanded for them to take care of it. So in a sense we are commanded by God to care for this earth. But by the same token. There are times when the animal rights groups, and enviornmental groups go too far in their protests.

If people would just stop being selfish and start being responsible the earth, our countries, and our families would be fine.

Answer 11

All  spiritually enlightened people in the world are environmentalists.

Would not John the Babtist or Jesus Christ have been environmentalist if they lived now?

Or certanly St Francis of Assisi

Enlightened people understand that we are all one.  And that all of life is one.  It is all sacred.

It is all intelligent, even an atom has intelligence, {which is also what quantum physics indicates, by the way. }

Not a theory, enlightened people experience the world that way.  It's not belief, it's knowledge.

And the experience is as repeatable as any science experiment.

  Jesus said something like "the kingdom of heaven is laid out upon the earth and men don't see it"    

He knew

Oh yes there are many enlightened people in the world today.

God doesn't just show up in some historical biblical time period.  

Or as a song by Jethro Tull says:  "he's not the kind you have to wind up on Sunday."
