No one claims humans have changed the earth's rotation. But, through over population and our destruction of land and sea habitats, we have increased the rate of the warming.
And last, (tongue in cheek) lucky that God told you about what fossil fuels are intended for. The part about gas and oil refineries to operate IC engines, etc, wasn't in my Bible.

You mean you don't have the latest Exxon-Mobil version??????
But seriously, I can't seriously take anyone who thinks 100 years of burning fossil fuels has significantly altered 4 million years of 100,000 yearlong cycles driven by the power of the sun and Earth's orbit, not to mention huge volcanic eruptions. It's the equivalent of thinking a single seasick passenger on a cruise line that vomits acidic stomach contents will lower the pH of the Pacific Ocean.
That being said, is it possible that our current and future activity will
accelerate the current global warming cycle that started 20,000 years ago? Entirely possible, but so far there is no conclusive proof, just speculation, conjecture, and extrapolation of short-term data. Probably the best conjecture came from climatologists that are not financially beholden to the current political view, who have stated that human activity will at most delay the next period of glaciation by 5-10,000 years----but this is due to the rise of agriculture in Asia over the past 8,000 years, NOT you SUV. But they too could be wrong. Time will tell. But by time I mean thousands of years, NOT the idiotic time frame of 5 years that has been suggested by some.
