more dangers of creationism

I wonder if the current resistance to acknowledging a human role in climate change in the US is related to the lack of acceptance of evolution. Studying evolution entails: challenging the mind to contemplate geological timescales, far beyond the timescale of our everyday experience; understanding life as a dynamic, ever-changing process; realizing that organisms not only adapt to their environment, but also contribute to the active construction of their environment; seeing that there are limits to adaptation. Someone who has pondered these aspects of life will surely be better equipped to imagine possible future scenarios, given our current trajectory, and to engage in meaningful debate about the role (and responsibility) of human society in constructing our collective environment.
