Republicans are the only, the ONE AND ONLY major party in the whole wide world who (to a large part) believes that climate change is merely a hoax. And that God will take care of things. Say what you want - but even if you try to make both parties equally clever or dumb, there is only one party who has all the complete lunatics in it. Bachmann. Palin. Huckabee. Trump.
The vast majority of scientists are not out to "disprove" religion, it's only the left that hijacks the science to attack religion. And most Christians don't take the Bible literally, but the left ignores that (despite the fact a probably equal number of Dems are Christian, as well) really in an effort to discredit other positions (i.e. "well, you're Christian so you think the Earth is only 6,000 years old so nothing you say can be taken seriously").
And many on the right don't believe Climate Change is a "hoax" (another intentionally false attribution to dismiss criticism without actually addressing the arguments). Pretty much everybody acknowledges the Earth is in a cyclical warming phase, what is rejected is that man is having a quantifiable impact, much less a significant one necessitating drastic and expensive changes - and science HAS NOT demonstrated otherwise. I happen to find it very difficult to give the field much credibility when it has so dramatically reversed it's direction and theories in the span of just 5 decades. What scientists believe is rather different than what they've shown with scientific rigor. Their models keep failing in embarrassingly short order, and they keep coming up with new factors or explanations for the failures - in every other field such models are properly labeled "junk".
LOL, you pretty much validate the exact point St.Lucie and I were making, even demonstrating that you've convinced yourself your refuting the argument put forward.
And the left has plenty of nutcases of their own, you just don't see it because you happen to agree with their agenda. And the nuts on the right you mention are pretty fringe with rather illusory influence - Ted Cruz is a phony as a $3 bill, but he's the only one with any real influence. Contrast that to Pelosi, Reid, Wasserman-Shultz, Feinstein that RUN the Democratic party...and I'll see your Sarah Palin and raise you Al Sharpton.
