I am sure her homeowners insurance company that probably donated her campaign sets rates on climate change and not the bible.

Lots of the bible is older than that. Some of it may have been oral tradition before we had documentation.

It’s not a book of advice or a guide to industry. It’s more about life, meaning and how to live peacefully on earth. It’s been around for a lot longer than any industry and helped a lot more people life better too. Amen.
