Fiscal and culture costs of a godless world view
We are seeing an increase in the number of people who deny that there is a god or that he has any ongoing interest in what happens on planet Earth.
Once you reach that conclusion, then every glitch in the environment becomes a reason to panic. Basically, the "sky is falling" syndrome. There is no confidence that the various cycles of warming, cooling, volcanic activity, etc. will swing back from their highs and lows to arrive at "normal" as has been the case for as long as human history knows.
Since it is now up to humans to control the forces of nature, we fall prey to every snake oil salesman who comes along. We become willing to surrender financial viability for the empty promise of "saving" the world. Worse still, we become willing to surrender liberties.
Even though after all is done, the cllimatic and geological systems will continue to function as they have always done.
Being a Christian, I know the sky is NOT falling.
The Sun is under the control of the Creator and will continue to warm Earth, sometimes more, sometimes less. And there is not ONE thing any of us can do about it.
We can only impoverish ourselves in a futile effort. The world seems to be overpopulated with fools.
