It depresses me the number of people who believe God is destroying the world with natural disasters because of an allegory written 2000 (or so) years ago but these same people do not believe in climate change because "it doesn't make sense".

Climate change as a whole doesn't jive with their preset belief structure, and they've been trained to rigidity so that they can't find a place to put it. Therefore it can't logically make sense to them, because they refuse to accept that religious belief doesn't have to be a monolithic whole. Nevermind the holes they punch in it to make room for concepts like charging interest for money (usury) or hating people for who they are (the dichotomy of teaching between different texts in the same collection ends up being taught in the most rigidly conservative way, discarding parts that don't match instead of examining the differences in sociohistorical context).

That's largely because some people use faith to make decisions, rather than facts, so logic doesn't fit well in their framework.
