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.
