It's not that we don't deny global warming. We just don't feel that man is contributing significantly to global warming. Ultimately God is the one who controls just how warm it's going to get. If God in his infinite wisdom has justification for global warming than man should not attempt to alter his almighty plan. God has created every man, animal and flower on this planet and if (like the dinosaurs from 8000 B.C.) he sees a reason to remove them, we should not question his divine authority.

It's not that we deny lightning. We just don't feel that man is contributing significantly to lightning. Ultimately God is the one who controls who gets struck by lightning. If God in his infinite wisdom has justification for striking people with lightning, then man should not attempt to alter his almighty plan.

Argument against lightning rods, circa 1770.
Shit! Our church burned down - maybe we shoulda had a lightning rod.

"If God in his infinite wisdom has justification for global warming than man should not attempt to alter his almighty plan."
How do you know that no global warming isn't God's plan and man is not altering God's plan by causing the warming?
Not initially. We should question his very existence. If that is established, THEN we should question his authority.
So ... you say that Man should not interfere with God's almighty plan by altering the Earth's environment ...
But, lucky for you, you don't believe that human activity is contributing to global warming. Whew! That was a close call!
Said he as he drove SUV 1/4 mile down to his church meeting.
Also, I thought you guys believe in a 6007 year old earth. 8000 B.C. shouldn't exist by your reckoning.
Alright, you want to pretend like Global Warming couldn't POSSIBLY be man's fault? What about smog, the damage to the ozone layer, polluted water and air, and everything else that's utterly irrefutably man's fault? Why not fix those and cut greenhouse emissions while you're at it for good measure?
Oh, right, you'd have to actually do something for the environment.
Scientist: Oh crap, an earth-killer asteroid is hurtling toward the Earth! Quick, let's come up with a plan!
Fundie: No need. This is part of God's mighty plan.
Scientist: O_o
Awjeez. You don't "feel" that man is contributing.... That means you don't feel happy-joy when confronted with some grim reality.
Fuck up the planet, and blame your fictional god construct for it?
Grow up, asshole. People have the only real influence in the real world, good or bad.
And overpopulation + excessive consumption + fairy scapegoat attitude = BAD
Scientist: Holy crap a killer virus is wiping out the human population. Fortuenetly I have devolved a cure.
Now where have I heard that before...
"We don't need to worry about the environment. The Second Coming is at hand."
--James G. Watt, former secreatry of the interior
Oh yeah.
Of course, you do question his divine authority when he sends virus, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc...................
You don't have to "feel" it, you have to demonstrate it. And of course, weather changes naturally but nothing prevented people, no matter how natural it was, to adapt to glaciacions.
"It's not that we don't deny global warming.
Whoa, triple negative. So let's see, that means you don't believe in it, right? But in the next sentence is sounds like you do, except you think God is doing it. So which is it?
what about the saying "god helps those who help themselves"
Also he warned Noah to build an ark, he didn't do it for him. Global warming is clear, don't wait for god to turn the thermostat down, that's our job.
Okay, that pendulum swings both ways.
God apparently destroyed Sodom because they had gay sex. You don't think he'll lift a hand against us for polluting his Creation for our own fucking convenience?
Get off your fat as and buy a bike.
Leave my dimension, and while you're at it, leave God outta this, it isn't His fault that you're indifferent about the environment.
How do you know that man-made global warming isn't part of god's plan to heat up the planet? You know, instead of god doing anything, just have man do it all. You know, exactly like it would be if god didn't exist.
Prove that isn't god's plan. You wouldn't want to question "god's divine authority", would you?
And what do you think qualifies you to be able to conclude, especially in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that man is not contributing significantly to global warming? Where did the geniuses at Conservapedia get their degrees in atmospheric science again? What papers have you published in peer-reviewed journals?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
