Danger of Mixing Science and Politics

Not bad thinking for an agnostic...

When obemer said the science was settled about climate change  knew he would not listen to the "other side".

“Not bad thinking for an agnostic...”

What does that even mean?  Politics has no place in meddling with science just as religion has no business in politics.

Two reasons for my comment:

1.  "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."  (Psalm 14:1).  Sagan was an admitted agnostic.  Just as a broken clock is right twice a day, he makes here unusually bright statements.

2.  "...For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God." (Romans 13:1).  Politicians have either supported or thwarted religious practices from the beginning of history.  They are accountable for their leadership, good or bad, before the One who sets them in positions of power, just as we who pay their salaries judge them at election time.  The difference is that God's ultimate vote counts for eternity.
