Texas rejects science textbooks for explaining climate change - Lemmy.World

OK so back in the day, Christians got mad because Darwin showed life evolves, which contradicted the belief that a god created everything in the form it has now.
But why are they butthurt about climate change? To my knowledge the bible doesn’t say anything about that.
I’m beginning to suspect that religion is not such a good thing as they claim.

It’s a money/culture thing, not a religion thing.

Yeah, Christians exist who say climate change isn’t real because only God can control climate. Christians also exist who believe God said to be a good steward of the Earth and take care of it.

Most of the conservatives who don’t think climate change is real don’t believe that for religious reasons. They overall tend to think that climate change is an overblown concern that’s a trojan horse justification for letting the government regulate more things.

That’s basically it.

They think “scientists promoting climate change studies come largely from elite universities, which by far tend to be very left-leaning, and left leaning folks support more government control over our lives (especially business things), so this is just a conspiracy to justify the government taking more of our money away through taxes and regulations.”

In short, they deny reality, because they believe reality is left leaning.
Lol one of them downvoted you 🤣. Is reality CoMmuNiSt now guys?
That’s probably my wording. They don’t just believe reality is left leaning, there is actually evidence for it.
