Seminary professors contest global warming "alarmism"

[Ezlivin]

From my alumni newsletter:

Two Southwestern professors weighed in on the debate surrounding the U.S. Senate's consideration of cap-and-trade legislation and the United Nations' summit on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Professors Craig Mitchell and Benjamin Phillips contributed to a document criticizing global warming alarmism.

...

According to the worldview of many global warming alarmists, the earth stands in a delicate balance that humans can easily upset, Mitchell said. They often consider humans to be parasites on the earth. On the contrary, the Christian worldview teaches that the earth's climate and ecosystems are "robust."

"God created the earth to support life in general and human life in particular," and God endowed humankind with "authority over this earth," Mitchell said. It is not "some weak, delicate thing that man can destroy, because this earth is going to be here as long as God wants it to be here, not one second less. It is going to serve His purposes. (emphasis added)

This is what is so damned frightening about these fuckers. They really believe we can do no harm to this planet because it was made for us.

And when calamity ultimately strikes they'll say that it was God's will. There is no reasoning with these idiots.

Note: I'm a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and, as such, receive the alumni newsletter. It's a periodic reminder of the sheer irrationality of religious faith and my inadvertent participation.
