as i answered before, merely on a non-secular basis. Not all knowledge comes from science and experiments. There is so much knowledge in religious scriptures.
I'm really not familiar with any specific scripture that indicates humans cannot affect climate change, in any faith I've heard of.
Indeed, the scripture I'm familiar with from a Christian heritage seems to imply the opposite.
Genesis 1:26 (ESV):
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Isaiah 24:5 (ESV):
The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
Jeremiah 2:7 (ESV):
And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.
It would seem that even if one reasons from religious scriptures, "Man can defile that which God creates" is a pretty clear theme.
> There is so much knowledge in religious scriptures.
No, there is not. Some guy writing a book 800 years ago, who was not a scientist and who was not even writing on any scientific subject be more accurate that a modern scientist writing on the subject they have spent years studying. It just boggles the mind that an adult in modern times would believe any of that scripture nonsense.
Is it because you believe these scriptures to be divinely influenced?
If the scripture was inspired / written / influenced etc. by divine entity, or if it was made up completely by humans, how would you tell the difference?
Science is written by man, and scripture was written by man. What is the basis for your faith in the latter's validity?
