Scientific evidence is not a religious viewpoint.

Unless the subject is "Climate Change"...

Except that they lack the evidence that the fluctuation in the earths temperature (it is on the way up) is due to activity by mankind or is statistically significant in scope, duration, or incidence from fluctuations that have occurred in the earths temperature before humans were even around.

What they have is a quasi-religious philosophy that mankind is evil, the earth is good, and that therefore man must be harming the earth. That and the evidence from ground based recordings that the average temperatures have risen over the last few decades.

Unless the subject is "Climate Change"...

Man-made global warming is a very young hypothesis. The problem is that it got quickly politicized in only a decade or so and pushed far beyond the evidence by people with non-scientific motivations (like Gore wanting to be relevant).

Contrast with Natural Selection, which came to acceptance on its merits over a much longer period.

Scientific evidence is not a religious viewpoint.

But many revere their flawed interpretation of "science" as a God.

I've seen self-proclaimed "anti-religion" folks castigate "religion" with a rather ironic religious fervor, all too oftern citing, but twisting, "science" as their doctrinal underpinning. for believing as they do.
