STATEMENT:

IPCC predicts that the impacts of climate change will be catastrophic. This affects everybody. Nobody is safe. We’re going to lose low-lying countries, there will be a loss of livestock, potential widespread famine, and species extinction.

One thing people need to remember is that scientists are the biggest skeptics on Earth. We’re constantly trying to disprove each other. This is the one thing we agree on. The evidence is endless. We’re not making this up, this is really serious, we’re very concerned, and there’s not enough being done about it. We really need to be pushing our governments.

And the evangelical preposition that a human that does not accept Christ is doomed to hell forever;

And the human body was perfectly designed by a higher creator;

And the observed scientific fact that roughly 25% of fertilized eggs fail to implant;

Then seemingly you exist in a nightmare reality in which an all powerful being seems to have built a wildly effective method for generating, harvesting and feeding souls directly to hell which; honestly kinda explains a LOT about most evangelicals I have met.
