I disagree. Natural gas is safe, affordable, and in large supply. It is not a "fossil fuel". That is just evolutionary propaganda.
Evolution is true. It's how God made us. See my notes on Genesis 1 below.
In the meantime, consider that we KNOW CO2 heats the planet because any decent physics lab on the planet can test it.
It's such basic physics Mythbusters was able to rig up a test in their workshop.
It's just happening - and it's not good. There are ethical responsibilities us Christians have - just as we had in our politics around the time of slavery. It's not something every Christian has to devote themselves to - as we all have different talents and gifts and concerns and responsibilities. But at least understanding the issues and voting to solve them are important.
Denying it all? That's unwise, unacceptable, and basically not a good witness to the God who loves this material world he made as well as us. It's not OUR world - it's ours to manage in stewardship for the King. The king still owns it!
Links to Dickson - Genesis 1
Reading Genesis is more like reading Shakespeare than an engineering manual or literal history. There’s a false antagonism here. We don’t have a bad reaction to Shakespeare's metaphors in the line - "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!"
We don’t turn around and complain "What nonsense! There's no way any truth is being conveyed in this nonsense because Juliet is obviously not a giant ball of fusing hydrogen millions and millions of miles across!" That would be ridiculous. That would be misunderstanding the genre of the text, reading the poetic as literal. Sometimes poetry is the
best genre to explain certain truths, like love or dramatic theology!
Dr John Dickson - with a Phd in history as well as degrees in theology - unpacks Genesis:
"In Genesis 1, multiples of seven appear in extraordinary ways. For ancient readers, who were accustomed to taking notice of such things, these multiples of seven conveyed a powerful message. Seven was the divine number, the number of goodness and perfection. Its omnipresence in the opening chapter of the Bible makes an unmistakable point about the origin and nature of the universe itself. Consider the following: The first sentence of Genesis 1 consists of seven Hebrew words. Instantly, the ancient reader’s attention is focused;
The second sentence contains exactly fourteen words. A pattern is developing;
The word ‘earth’—one half of the created sphere—appears in the chapter 21 times;
The word ‘heaven’—the other half of the created sphere—also appears 21 times.
‘God’, the lead actor, is mentioned exactly 35 times.
The refrain ‘and it was so,’ which concludes each creative act, occurs exactly seven times;
The summary statement ‘God saw that it was good’ also occurs seven times;
It hardly needs to be pointed out that the whole account is structured around seven scenes or seven days of the week.
The artistry of the chapter is stunning and, to ancient readers, unmistakable. It casts the creation as a work of art, sharing in the perfection of God and deriving from him. My point is obvious: short of including a prescript for the benefit of modern readers the original author could hardly have made it clearer that his message is being conveyed through literary rather than prosaic means. What we find in Genesis 1 is not exactly poetry of the type we find in the biblical book of Psalms but nor is it recognizable as simple prose. It is a rhythmic, symbolically-charged inventory of divine commands."
