I think Scripture is entirely consistent with Global Warming. On the other hand, I find there are too many inconsistencies and contradictions in the Scripture for me to accept it is the unadulterated word of God. Still, it has many lessons. But also multiple interpretations.
relying on something like the bible for history or science is pretty much the ultimate in curated history - in other words, almost entirely useless, 99.9% chaff and .1% wheat. anyone who's studied a wide range of sources (i.e. not using official biblical sources to cyclically define and source themselves) winds up discovering that the early church was taken over by zealots - resulting of the council of nicea, who completely changed (i.e. it was a solidification of change and cementing of authoritative structure) the entire basis by which x-tianity operated, removed J's "feats" from being anything attainable by "mere mortals"....stuff like this winds up telling you the religion was created to harness and suppress the population surrounding the collapse of rome so that rome's richy rich could run off with most of the wealth and keep it out of the plebe's hands. the entire abrahamic root is similarly filled with augmentations, the "g-d" of abraham is a bloodthirsty monster and is not the creator of all things, if one has done sufficient reading.
seen the pope's audience hall?
I wont ramble on about this especially since I know it will tinge some folk's nerves....but should that happen, it would be entirely likely that said people would not ever have read any unapproved materials.
