They never want to show the opposing views.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sorbo is narrating the new installment of &#8220;Climate Hustle&#8221;, directed by Marc Morano. The film features leading policy experts and scientists and examines scientific claims, media bias, and more around climate change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just a wonderful way to say, &#8216;Hey, let&#8217;s get educated on both sides of the issue&#8217; and then decide for yourself what you want to believe,&#8221; Sorbo said of the movie. &#8220;Look at what COVID is doing right now. Fear\u2019s an amazing weapon in people&#8217;s lives and they&#8217;re using fear to control our lives as well&#8230;we have to look at both sides of the issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sorbo believes that being more green isn&#8217;t a bad thing, and that science and Christianity can work hand in hand. Science, though, doesn&#8217;t have to prove Christ.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The one-word answer is what the left usually seems to have when people don&#8217;t want to believe in God or believe in the Bible (they say it&#8217;s science). There&#8217;s the one famous atheist, Dawkins, he said, &#8216;Because there&#8217;s gravity, it proves that there is no God.&#8217; I&#8217;m going, &#8216;Well, who created gravity?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My biggest statement always for people that don&#8217;t have any faith is, &#8216;You cannot get something from nothing.&#8217; Somebody started all this, the stars, the planets, the multiple galaxies out there. Somebody started this. It wasn&#8217;t you, It wasn&#8217;t me. You cannot get something from nothing. It&#8217;s impossible. Do I have all the answers? No, but I&#8217;m not going to say I just have faith. There has to be an intelligent designer, there has to be somebody that started this. We&#8217;ll understand it when our time comes but to me you can&#8217;t sit there and say science proves there&#8217;s no God because it doesn&#8217;t, it doesn&#8217;t prove it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Sorbo, an outspoken Christian actor, is sharing his thoughts around climate change hysteria.
