Re: Tactics and Motivation of Global Warming Denial
I was listening to a local call-in show the other night about the GW debate and why Christians are, for the most part, on the denier side of the argument.
Some guy called in and threw up Genesis 1:28 as an example…
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
He made sense when picking it apart. He said (I’m paraphrasing) that if Christians are to believe this passage, then why would they recognize GW? If they are told to subdue the earth, why would they let the earth tell us how to live our lives?
Kind of makes sense, because in an argument as wide spread and divisive as this one, you find most (if not all) Christians on the same side.
