Donald Duck/Uncle Scrooge comics, MAD Magazine, science and religion can all cohabit the world, though not if one of the religions is the totalitarian Islamic variation of superstition which holds that all should be subjugated, like it or not. <Some people understand science and religion can co-exist.> The Christian outlook is one of free will where people have to CHOOSE to sign up, though it was quite a compulsory thing during my younger days when courts and other authorities acted to enforce biblical genuflection.
Good grief, they are not satisfied with one religion, they want to adopt another too. <
A working group of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, one of the oldest scientific institutes in the world, has issued a sobering report on the impacts for humankind as a result of the global retreat of mountain glaciers as a result of human activity leading to climate change.> What does the weather have to do with religion? Is there a Pontifical Academy of Toaster Functionality? One for roading efficiency? What temporal things don't they dabble in?
Maybe they are planning a takeover of Global Alarmism since they see its popularity as a new-fangled religion. If they develop a catechism for it, a liturgy and a few prayers, they might be able to boost numbers and keep the tithes pouring in. They could sell "Carbon Credits" aka "Indulgences" and have confessionals each Sunday regarding any carbon emissions during the week. It's certainly a booming market.
