The "Religion" of Climate Science

We have been warning people that worshiping Mother Earth and crediting this false god with creating all of what we see, is actually a false religion.

Today we ran across this article and couldn't agree more with the points he makes.

The religion of climate change & the new doomsday scenario

When I came to faith as a 16-year-old, drug-using, hippie rock drummer, I was told that Jesus was returning very soon. The end of the world was near. Very near. Today, there is a new religious narrative, especially among young people, with a new "end of the world" scenario. But this one is depressing and grim, with nothing redemptive about it.

I'm talking about the new religion of manmade global warning.

It has its unique gods (like Mother Earth).
It deifies the created world (with seminarians confessing to plants in a chapel service).
It has its high priests and religious leaders (the climate change gurus and radical environmentalists).
It has its patron saints (like Sweden's Greta Thunberg).
And it has its own doomsday scenario: The end of the world is near. Very near.

To be clear, I do not have the credentials to comment on scientific questions related to global warming.

But I do have the credentials to comment on the effect that environmental activists are having on our culture, especially the younger generation.

An Australian website offers counsel to help people (especially young people) deal with stress and anxiety related to climate change. It notes that "There are lots of reasons why young people might feel stressed about climate change."

These reasons include: (1) They feel like planning for the future is hopeless. (2) They are angry that the people around them aren't doing anything to help. (3) They are frustrated that there's nothing they can do now to change things. (4) They are worried about whether it's responsible to have children. (5) They feel like everything is out of their control.

A May 2 headline on Science News for Students states, "Climate change poses mental health risks to children and teens."

And a September 19 article on Conversation.com warned that, "Ignoring young people's climate change fears is a recipe for anxiety."

In fact, as far back as 2016, the American Psychological Association (APA) claimed that, "Climate change is threatening mental health. A federal report that tapped psychologists' expertise outlines the ways climate change affects us all."

But herein lies the rub. It is not "climate change" that is "threatening mental health." It is the apocalyptic way it is being reported that is threatening mental health.

After all, when I was told in 1971 that Jesus was coming back soon, it was an exciting prospect. The end of the age is fast approaching and we will be with the Lord forever! This world is falling apart, but God will come to redeem us!

But there is no such hope in today's gloom and doom climate change reporting. Instead, it produces fear and provokes frustration, especially for young people: "Our world is being destroyed, and you're not doing anything about it! Don't you care?"

To quote Greta Thunberg directly: "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words …. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth – how dare you!"

The Bible warns us about worshiping the created things instead of the Creator.  And with their belief that Mother Earth created life and evolved it from there over some amazing billions of years...that's exactly what they are doing.  They believe Mother Earth is groaning and because us humans have wrecked her plans, we need to atone for these sins and fix her REAL FAST!

Romans 1
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Hmmmmm......could this be a major reason why the LGBTQIAP agenda is taking over this land?  Because God has literally given them over to shameful lusts because they have been worshiping Mother Earth and her false religion of evolution, while at the same time totally rejecting the One True Creator?
