A week or so ago I commented that I was beginning to get the feeling that there might be some sort of curious connection between the proponents of the abiotic theory and fundamentalist Christians. At the time, I thought my comment might have been a bit over the top and perhaps offensive to some. However, it now appears that this connection may be real and not just the product of my over-active imagination.

Something that I have also noticed (and I have no doubts whatsoever about this one) is that hardcore fundamentalist Christians for the most part dismiss global warming and believe that concerns over environmental problems are nothing more than propaganda by godless leftists.

As I have said before, the True Believer is largely immune to facts.

I think it's more complicated than this. Check out www.whatwouldjesusdrive.org/ for an evangelical group that's getting it right.

Fundamentalist Christians have to explain why most of the oil is in muslim countries. If it is God's gift, why does it go to muslims? :-)

Actually if you through the history most of the oil was in Christian countries like USA, UK, Germany, Russia etc... But maybe because God loves us more, He let us use it up firstly :)

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
