conservatives who don't believe in global warming: stance on evolution?

Question

that might help to explain a few things . . .

Answer 1

Yes, it will be the same mind set.

Acknowledging that not all those comprising the Religious Right are created equal, and that there is a great deal of diversity amongst their beliefs and practices, there is enough commonality to conclude that the malefactors at the helm of the US have leveraged the hateful, narrow-minded beliefs of enough of these fanatics to garner sufficient support to commit egregious acts of torture, passive mass murder (New Orleans ring a bell?), massive slaughter under the guise of military intervention, and theft of public funds.

Men like Dobson shepherd their flocks to vote for bellicose champions of the wealthy because these “moral stalwarts” have pledged their undying support to a "culture of life". Despite their "devotion" to making abortion illegal, ending the use of human embryos (even those which would otherwise be discarded) for stem cell research, and denying equal rights to 5-10% of our population (gays and lesbians), the power brokers have perpetually been incapable of making good on their promises. While championing these “family values”, they have mesmerized their Religious Right followers into supporting the false dichotomy of Christianity vs. Islam, an imperialistic and murderous agenda in Iraq and throughout the Middle East, and domestic policies which significantly erode the economic well-being of their radical Christian base (and the rest of us amongst the working class).

Realize that I am not disparaging the Christian religion in general. Personally, I am a spiritual person with a belief in a Higher Power, but I am not Christian. However, I recognize that there are many rational, compassionate, and decent human beings who practice Christianity.

Just as some Islamic fundamentalists wield religion as a weapon, the morally bankrupt aristocracy of the United States utilizes religion as a tool of war. Employing the power of spiritual manipulation to muster the support of their minions of extremist Christians, the authors of the Project for the New American Century mobilized enough popular support to invade a nation which had not harmed the United States, to eradicate the poor in New Orleans through passive mass murder and a Diaspora, to sell our children's future by committing to $8 trillion worth of debt to power their war machine, to cut taxes on the rich, and to increase war spending while cutting spending on programs which benefit humanity.

Answer 2

No... actually it doesn't... and I doubt that you could argue the scientific points on either issue... The best that I hear on Global Warming is that it is a settled science and anyone bring up objections must be paid by "Big OIL" or some other nefarious organization... Pretty much the same for Evolution.. except this time It's only "Extreme Religious Zealots" that are the evil to be avoided.. Never is the Science of the issue debated... the objections are dismissed with personality attacks only.... It is my observation that people that do that either don't know the science and facts themselves or when they do know they know that they are defending a losing proposition.

Answer 3

First, I believe in global warming, but I believe that most of what is occurring is the result of the natural warming and cooling of the earth. It's a cycle. That doesn't mean I'm not for recycling and the like so long as it doesn't interfere with my life--like the couple who aborted because it would save a carbon footprint!

I am a Christian who believe in evolution and thinks that creationism is silly. I believe that God allowed evolution to be the ways things came about, but I still believe that evolution is the way it happened.

Did this help explain a few things?

Answer 4

I believe in adaption but I have no belief what so ever that a bunch of chemicals just hanging out decided to bond together and walk out of the ocean. If you believe that and put all your faith in that science I ask this, With all our technology why hasn't science 1, gave a year it happened and 2, reproduced it. Has far as global warming goes I have heard all these reasons from "scientists", 1 Volcanoes (most plausible), 2 combustion engines, 3 caribou flatulence, 4 cow flatulence, 5 kangaroo flatulence. It seems to me that 3 out 5 scientists believe global warming just stinks.


Lampligh, I must say, usually I disagree with you totally but on this one I am in completely agree.

Gamla joe, CO2 is what plants use to "breathe" They exhale oxygen. Perhaps your dim mind meant CO Which is carbon Monoxide.

Answer 5

This argument is getting a bit old. Like most modern day libs you seem to have selective hearing. Most reasonable-thinking people (conservative or otherwise) aren't saying that Global Warming has not occurred. We question that the acts of man are the main reason. Better than half of meteorologists and climatologists agree that this is a cyclical phenomenon. It seems that Al Gore cherry-picked certain numbers of them to support his effort to create a political issue. Once again, you and your fellow lockstep liberal zombies have confused us all by trying to make a comparison to our stance on evolution. Maybe you just want to criticize people of faith as well? Hey, if it makes you and yours feel like they are taking the higher ground go ahead and pray to monkeys.

Answer 6

What does a general theory regarding the development of species have to do with a ******** crisis dreamed up by the loonie left?

How about this. It took millions of years for the earth and it's billions of species to get to today. The Global Climate Change scare-mongers want us to believe that just one of those species in 70 years of living and developing, is on the verge of destroying the whole planet.

I believe that theory is the epitome of arrogance!

Answer 7

I don't really 'believe' anything per se. I am convinced by heavy evidence of evolution; unconvinced - due to lots of evidence to the contradictory - that human-caused global warming is a farce.

Answer 8

My stance on evolution is that it is a scientific fact. I have seen enough evidence to say this without a doubt.

I have a neutral stance on global warming, it is a much younger science than evolution, but then again I have not studied the subject enough.

The one thing I do know is that expelling large amounts of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere cannot be good for it.

That is enough for me to support ways of reducing emissions, as for what that CO2 dose, I cannot say.

Answer 9

It's mostly because big oil sort of accidentally formed a coalition with the religious right politically. Many in the religious right have become very partisan and thus find ways to morally justify everything that their party stands for/against.

Not sure if it's so much a stance on evolution, but some in that camp might feel that addressing environmental problems is a waste of time since G-d is in charge.

Answer 10

I believe that God exists and that He created the universe and everything in it. I also believe in evolution, as a predetermined process.

The odds against the universe existing without a conscious first cause... aren't worth pondering. The universe was designed.

Answer 11

I believe in evolution, how ever I do also believe that all matter was created
