Creationists: How many of you deny global climate change?

Question

If not, why not? If so, why? Are your Creationism and Global Warming denial related?

Lady Suri is reported

Is no one going to answer the question??!!

The reason for my question is to discover whether a is related to b. can anyone offer and honest and complete answer?

Martha: because in order to understand climate change, they would have to acknowledge that the Earth is older than 6,000 years!

Answer 1

There is no direct link between belief in God and societys possible abuse of the earth.

Answer 2

sometimes I get really fed up answering global warming questions...not because I think they're a waste of time, just that usually my answer counters the askers beliefs and I expend far too much energy and effort in what seems to be a fruitless task.

People ask for proof, yet when you give them proof, they choose to accept the view from another respondant that matches their own, regardless of the lack of any real evidence.

Now, I know you're asking this question in a manner of finding out if there's a "casual" link between creationists and denial of (human?) influenced recent global climate shifts...however, I'd have to disagree with that because there are a lot of creationists that accept the evidence and I have never come across any such correlations, if indeed an attempt to make one exists?

(EDIT: ah yes of course, that is true, although there are creationists that now believe the Earth to be more than 6000 years old)

I would say though, those who refute the evidence, have not researched enough, give in to propaganda created by economists/politicians and the like.

I have studied this for the past few years and I am MORE than convinced that there is sufficiently strong evidence that humans are the dominant cause of "recent" climate changes.

The evidence is there, people choose to either ignore it, or research it

Answer 3

I do, but it has nothing to do with my beliefs. If I thought that it was sound science then I would accept that the earth is warming. Many preacher even claim that this is a sign of the end times, I disagree. I think that global warming is a political agenda. The UN has a direct interest in confirming it, because they would control the money of a world wide tax on contributing to global warming. Not coincidentally, they are the ones that come up with some of these incomplete studies. It was global cooling in the 70s, global warming now, who knows whats next decade. People need to wake up on this. It is going to create more government control, hurt industry, reduce freedom, and restrict movement of people. The only reason that I might bring it up in a religious argument is that it is a false use of science like evolution.

Edit: What does the age of the earth have to do with it. Why cant a 6000 year old earth experience climate change, that makes no sense.

Answer 4

Lady Suri must be in that time of the month. Anyway! There is no denying that the climate will change on earth, if not for global warming, the wobble effect. Plus it's part of earth's history, we've had several ice-ages and periods where the earth grew warm.

Answer 5

This is why I think global warming is a 21st century religion:

1) The mysterious growth of Antarctica and the South Polar ice cap by 8% in the last decade (according to NASA imaging services)

2) The southward migration of the frost line in North America (according to national weather services)

3) The fact that global warming has more political implications than environmental (enough to make anything global warming disciples say suspicious)

4) The fact that temperature readings over the last 100 years have been taken at weather stations alongside growing cities. Since cities put off their own heat through power consumption, those temps will naturally go up as the cities grow.

Now what was your question about creationism?

Answer 6

It looks to me that it is being answered well.

There is not really denial of Global Warming, just the extent of it, and the cause of it. It is a Political Issue, not an Environmental Issue. It is a Tool of the Left, just Look at algore.

I remember in the 1970's we were told to expect a major COOL DOWN in the next 20 Years, leading to another Ice Age. That was in the 1970's, now we are being warned about Warming ?

I am a Christian, and believe in the Bible, so I believe in Creation.

Answer 7

All I know is that a couple months ago, we had a day or two in Miami where it was only around 40 degrees. In Miami!

And in many parts of the US last summer, people were wearing sweatshirts in late June.

And some parts of the Upper Midwest had some record-setting cold temperatures a couple weeks ago.

Is all this due to global warming too? Is it global warming that causes things to "chill out"?

.

Answer 8

I don't deny global climate change, we just disagree on what has caused it, and how much it is going to change and whether or not human beings can effectively do anything about it.

Answer 9

I just watched a News clip that said the ice pack of Greenland has almost doubled and that the ice caps are breaking up because they are becoming too heavy. The weather in most of this country (US) seems contradictory to a warming trend.

Answer 10

Why would Creationists deny the inhuman treatment of Father God's creation. This is one of many sins perpetuated against the planet given to us by God. Pollution being another.
