Interesting that liberals unequivocally believe in the evolution of biological entities, but cannot accept that our planet is evolving.

There is a very, very old argument of what God does vs. what mankind’s purpose is. In short, God creates the universe, and mankind just labels what has been created. And this has long rankled men who themselves wanted to claim creation.

God definitively settled the argument when Moses asked Him His name. “I AM” is a philosophical statement that speaks volumes. But this put mankind into a quandary: if God creates all, does man create at all, or just manipulate what has been created, and label it?

This pretty well remained unresolved until Rene Descartes, who boldly claimed “I think, therefore I am” (notice the similarity between statements). But since then, philosophy has become an atheist thing, because it *has* to assert that mankind can *do* something independent of God.

Over time, it has become “mankind’s magic”, that mankind can somehow magically manipulate things far greater than they are. Like the weather.

Carbon dioxide is a trace gas in the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 produced by mankind is a fraction of that trace gas. So the very idea of Man Made Global Warming, makes all the sense of a bacteria in a mite, forcing the mite on the back of an elephant, to force the elephant to do the bacteria’s bidding.

Improbable sounding, isn’t it?

But the strongest advocates of this feel they must insist that mankind can do things like this, otherwise their human supremacy delusion looks a lot smaller than they crave it to be.

God has ALWAYS been in control.

The climate is HIS to do as HE Wills.

If man thinks by his efforts he can change the climate, then he thinks he is God. That is blasphemy. The climate is one thing over which man has no control at all. But libs think that they are God.

They think it’s hot here? Wait till the are done answering to the Lord.

I don't disagree with those statements but was sin His Will?

God is in control but He makes statements when His Will is not done. The Flood was a statement. And where are we today? Are we any better than those people of Noahs time?

All of the dire warnings and computer models have completely failed.

There has been zero global warming for what 17 years now based on the only valid measurements - the NASA satellite data.

I could go on for pages.

What does Christianity have to do with it?

I dont believe in it because it is junk science and proven to be based on manipulated and corrupt data by lying conspiring “scientists” with their own agendas to keep their funding going.

Not because i am christian.

Equilibrium?

Col 1:17

He (Jesus) holds all of creation together.

Well I believe there is some caused by man but not as much as these people believe. Until it’s absolute fact however they can have their belief, I’ll take Jesus anytime, any place, anywhere. All they propagate is death, Jesus speaks of life but He does have a limitation to His rules and then, then there will be man/demon made climate change such as the world has never seen nor shall ever see again.

The conclusions reached could be argued all day. Is God pro-carbon and anti-solar? It’s an angels on a pinhead type question to me.

In your equilibrium, what are the forces, which opposes which?

People like this guy sound more like Muslims than Christians.

Equilibrium as far as temperatures are concerned being moderated. The plants getting the right nutrients and water at the right times and amounts. Just the right amount of wind. A sun light neither harsh nor too bright. All of natures forces working for the optimum environment. A balance not seen since the expulsion of Adam and Eve.

Could “Thou shalt not bear false witness” have anything to do with Christian rejection of the anthropogenic global warming lie?
