There are those of us who believe global warming is "real". There's scientific evidence to prove we're helping it along. From what I read, yes, climate is cyclical. It does change but is it verifiable thru measurable scientific means that we're speeding up the process ? Yes, from what I see, read and research. To me, it's tangible. I can smell it, see it, touch it. There are those who look at it and say global warming is a fallacy The proof is not proof at all. It's almost NOT surprising that someone that believes in an "afterlife" really wouldn't care about the here and now because there's something "better" after you're dead and buried. Screw it!! drill here, drill there.. deplete resources, watch species disappear. It's of no matter. When I die in 70 years, I'm going to "heaven". It's no matter how dirty the air is, how polluted the water is, for me or future generations of my family. Drop nukes on those that don't believe what I believe. Let my family & friends die of radiation poisoning. It's of no matter. They're going to a better place. The existence of this higher being is not provable, is not tangible by anything other than "faith".

Those of us that do not believe in the invisible man (at least in my own experience), is not due to a lack of education on the subject. I come from a non-practicing Muslim family. I went to a catholic high school. I've read the Koran, the OT & NT and the King James. On a whole, they sound and read like someone's control agenda, not "miracles". I can't see living MY life the way SOMEONE ELSE tells me to, in the hopes that I may wind up in a better place than where I am when I die.

Since these "miracles" were performed "thousands of years ago" and we are waiting for the "second coming", I guess all the believers are content with Jesus appearing on potato chips and pieces of burnt toast in the mean time to prove his existence.
