10A,

[Re: "But freedom of religion is not freedom from religion."] You can't have one without the other.

Then how did we always have one without the other until recent times? You're free to join any church you'd like, regardless of affiliation, provided that you worship the Lord our God. That's our freedom of religion. If you deny God, you embrace Satan, and until fairly recently that would have meant you'd be locked away in a mental asylum.

And the states you are comparing are inherently a bad comparison because the state of a light bulb is in no way representative of serving, which is an active action.

You're so fixated on this. If you insist, yes, a light-bulb "serves" its master, where its master is its owner who flips the light-switch on and off. But you're really missing the point here.

We have two possible states, in which we cling to God or Satan. There is no third option. Satan will insist that neither he nor God exists, and you can choose to believe that lie at your eternal peril.

You know what I meant. The evidence for free will is lacking, therefore I do not believe it exists.

The evidence is within you every time you choose to reject God. Indeed every time you type a character in reply to me, you evidence free will.

That doesn't answer my question. How do you know that god doesn't want humans to solve climate change on our own? "Just pray for an answer" doesn't tell me anything about the methodology of how you came to your current conclusion of "no".

Did god personally tell you that the answer was no? Is it just a feeling you have? Was it some "sign"?

The entire premise requires us to arrogantly suppose we could possibly control the whole planet, which is contrary to everything God tells us.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James 4:10

Those aren't just a bunch of archaic random words; they're instructions for how we are to live. And they are entirely applicable to the climate agenda. When we are humble, we put our trust in God, not ourselves.
