But isn't that pretty much what you wrote?Cute.
Maybe you can explain what you mean then?Because I get the impression they're blaming us little guys for some of it.
They want us to give up some of our creature comforts and start hugging trees.
And, as usual, DESPITE what the Bible says.
This is textbook anti-intellectualism.
"Anti-intellectuals present themselves and are perceived as champions of common folk—populists against political and academic elitism—and tend to see educated people as a status class that dominates political discourse and higher education while being detached from the concerns of ordinary people."
I devoted a thread on this subject.

The bottom line for Christian's than is to keep mov'n on destroying God's Creation here on Earth?Academia: Start hugging trees before it's too late.
Bible: It'll never be too late.
Academia: I don't care what the Bible says. Start hugging trees, or it's curtains.
Christian: No it won't be curtains. That curtain will never fall until God drops it.
Academia: I don't care what the Bible says. Start hugging trees before we're all underwater or dehydrated or whatever.
Christian:
I think we should set up an anti-intellectualist Hall of Fame.
Most of the comments don't quite make it.Wait? This isn't the HoF? I thought I was already there.
I wrote a book that is in the final stages of publication about the anthropology of religion and religious texts and that science plagiarized religious concepts using the greek and latin discuss. scientists are nothing more than satanist's who have carried on the practice's of druids who use to try to get high and contact higher powers they associated with astrology and the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

They need to be of this standard (this is a real CF post).
Your kidding me...have you looked at what we are doing to the Earth? We're in a human caused sixth mass extinction for starters. The oceans, land and air are polluted, people and life forms are dying from that pollution. There is no ground on the Earth were it's chemical composition has not been changes by human activity and in many places where even insects can not live.Who says we're destroying God's creation?
It ought to be a group effort...that is "IF" we experienced God's Creation as sacred. The sad part from my perspective is that from what I gather from you, that's something Christians will not do.Can't I have a bottle of pop without being accused of contributing to climate change?
Go and accuse big companies of polluting the air, if you have to.
But leave us little guys out of it.
The vast scale of human death andThe bottom line for Christian's than is to keep mov'n on destroying God's Creation here on Earth?
For you it's creation conforts and for @Postvieww it's about money. What about what God Created?
I guess I don't get what's important to Christians when it comes to God's Creation.
Far from acting as any sort of restraint, they used the Bible as a justification and force multiplier for their decidedly unholy rampage.
Astronomy is the study of the stars and early astronomy was about the motion of the stars and planets. It kept the clock of the seasons. It has been around from the earliest days of written records. "Astrology" is mysticism about stars and planets. It is not the primitive form of astronomy, but rather something that has co-existed with astronomy.Astrology was replaced with Astronomy.
Especially if you include early metallurgy in the broader area of chemistry, chemistry goes back a long way with people doing what we would call chemical processing all the way back in recorded history. Alchemy is chemical mysticism. It has more akin with potions and spells than with primitive chemistry.Alchemy was replaced with Chemistry.
Phlogiston was a bad idea with hints of bad ancient notions (4 elements) that was fairly quickly replaced with the discovery of atmospheric gases.Phlogiston theory was replaced with Combustion theory.
Creationism is a 100-year-old *reaction* to evolutionary theory with orgins in the SDA church (not long after it inspired "Corn Flakes").Creationism was replaced with Evolution theory.

At least 3 of 4 "fails".
Oh well. You're going to have to try harder to get in to the HoF.
Notice God gave us the sciences first, then Satan took them and made them into forms of witchcraft.
O great, I walked right into one of your dubious and literalist interpretation of the bible applied to reality.
No. I wasn't. I was a Catholic. Reading the bible is for priests and scholars. I've read, like, 4-6 "books" fully.I'm under the impression you were a student of the Bible, having studied It for some length of time.
Yep.Perhaps I'm mistaken?
Because if you were, you wouldn't have made such a rookie mistake as to think witchcraft came before science.

Is this also called "Reverse revealed truth"?This logical fallacy is known as "Tu quoque".
