Reference :- Perhaps he has a point .
Dear Andy ,
As usual you are spot on regarding climate change being just like a religion , and possibly the first to make such an astute observation . Of course a few days ago the sad passing of Cardinal Pell had the Sky News team extolling the virtues of religion . But that doesn't mean all religions are admirable . The followers of each of the 2000 religions that bless the planet are quite certain that 1999 of them are rubbish. And the climate change cult is obviously one of those irrational 1999.
Ken junior asked me how belief in climate change could be like a religion , since the climate change model relies on scientific evidence , and the specifics of the model are subject to revision as research progresses.
" Religions cling to their dogma in spite of scientific evidence to the contrary . " , Ken junior said .
Clearly the schools are no longer teaching religious instruction as they once did , so I had to set him straight , Andy .
" The parallels between religion and climate change are there if you care to look in the bible ." , I said .
" How so ? " , Ken junior said .
"Well for starters , do remember the bush fires ? ", I said
" Of course . Most of the bush around Kooralya burned . " , Ken junior said .
"Exactly , and a burning bush features in the bible too ...can you see the similarity ? " , I said .
Ken junior rolled his eyes.
" And another thing , do remember the floods ? " , I said
" Go on . " , Ken junior said .
" Well there is a big flood in the bible too . God allowed Noah and his kin to survive the deluge . " , I said .
Ken junior slumped off , defeated by my logic .
" You ought to read about it . Noah had to build an Ark ", I shouted .
" Build an Arc yourself . " , Ken junior shouted .
For the love of God, Andy , it is high time they starting teaching some logic in our schools .
Your comrade , Ken
