Yeah, I said it. In fact, I don’t think that there is much more to say beyond the title of this post, because, well… really it just explains how I feel about most people who believe in God.

Yeah, my family are going to be oh-so-horrified and pray for my mortal soul blah blah blah… and I will no doubt get my fair share of condescending “oh but you just aren’t open to the idea” crap.

We evolved from monkeys. Darwin was right and time and time again, Darwin’s theory of evolution has been proven to be spot on.

The existence of God requires a leap of faith. It requires all sorts of assumptions about intent, consciousness and leaps of logic. I once had a Christian say, point blank to my face: “It’s not about proving it with science, it’s about common sense and belief”.

So now, Senator Steven Fielding has denied the existence of global warming on the basis that the science isn’t compelling enough. THE SCIENCE IS NOT COMPELLING ENOUGH FOR A PERSON WHO CLAIMS THAT THE WORLD IS A FEW THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

Senator Fielding, let’s pretend for a moment that the scientific hypothesis of global warming is flawed. Yes, let’s indulge it for a minute.

How can pouring toxic chemicals into our atmosphere *NOT* be hazardous? The carcinogens, poisons & pollution that are released into the air are simply not good for our environment. This is not about the science, it’s about common fucking sense.

You need to be consistent in the faith you put in Science. You cannot dismiss compelling and overwhelming scientific proof on one hand, and then demand it in the other. Unless, of course what you are really doing is denying ANYTHING that has compelling scientific evidence and are just making it up based on your own idiotic beliefs.

God does not exist. Global warming does. And you are a dipshit.
