The hype of "climate change" has the hallmarks of a cult. The science has gotten corrupted by politics and money, but that doesn't make it a religion.

Oh, now. "Climate change" has sin. "Climate change" has redemption. "Climate change" even has an apocalypse.

Evolution seems to be a diffent question than origins, and the age of the Earth a different question than biology.

Tell that to the Primordial Soup-Nazis, who promulgate the notion that all life originated in pond scum, zapped to life by lightning or some such.

As far as the concept of "deep time," necessitated by the truly astounding lengths of time posited, for life to have arisen from nothing and self-organized into the sentient beings posting on this FR Religion Forum today, it was originally conceptualized by an atheist, James Hutton. As it would have to have been. Christians in the late 18th century accepted a catastrophic, global flood and a six-day Creation.

"Climate change" has sin. "Climate change" has redemption. "Climate change" even has an apocalypse.

It also has priests, a messiah, and a holy scripture.

Hutton was the first to posit an age in the billion year range. Kelvin and other posited ages well beyond the 7000 year mark and in contradiction to the 6-day account of Genesis well before that.

The premise of the article is that YEC doctrine is an all or nothing proposition. If you depart from it at all, you depart from Christianity completely. The blasphemy did not originate with Hutton.
