Fragile Earth

During most of its 4.543 billion years, earth was not habitable. Right now, we are living a fluke Goldilocks period when earth sustains life quite well.

The problem is, Republicans and Christians are under the delusion it is impossible for humans to do anything that would harm earth’ habitability. Everything is balanced on knife-edge. No god is holding all balanced.

Do a Pascal’s wager. If you do nothing about climate change you could die if scientists are right or live if Christians are right. If you work to stop climate change, you will live if scientists are right or live if Christians are right. You are basically betting your life on Christians telling you about long range climate predictions they have shown no evidence for. I can understand you trusting your fellow Christians on matters of spirit, the bible, home cooking… but you know perfectly well, in general, they have only an elementary school knowledge of science. Christianity hates science because science contradicts it at every turn, so it is only natural few Christians have a deep understanding of it.
