Believing in creationism is a sin

[Esquilax]

As an aside, wouldn't believers be more willing to trust the idea that humans are causing global warming, perhaps on a level that might endanger human existence? "Ruining the Earth" and all of that?

Depends on the believer, really. I'm sure we've all heard of that American politician (his name escapes me) who stood up in congress and said that discussing manmade global warming is pointless, because only god is able to destroy the world. Which always struck me as somewhat odd; christians are generally willing to accept that they are tainted with sin, flawed and inherently low individuals that can only be saved by constant obeisance to the creator, but for some reason those exact same people find the idea that they could damage the environment ridiculous.

They're members of a species that was able to go against god in the infancy of humanity when there was only two of them, and individual members are able to go against god's will in droves every day just by holding different beliefs, but harming the planet? Impossible.
