Trudeau defends governor general’s attack on people who believe ‘divine intervention’ created mankind
lifesitenews.com
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his newly appointed governor general after she was lambasted in the press for mocking those who believe God created life.
Julie Payette, the 54-year-old engineer and former astronaut from Montreal who was installed as the Queen's representative in Canada last month, derided religious faith in a speech at an Ottawa science convention on Wednesday.
“Can you believe that still today in learned society, in houses of government, unfortunately,...we are still debating and still questioning whether life was a divine intervention or whether it was coming out of a natural process let alone, oh my goodness, a random process,” Payette said, in what Canadian Press reported as an “incredulous voice.”
She also ridiculed belief in... homeopathy, and suggested the debate on climate change was done.
“Can you believe that...we’re still debating and still questioning whether humans have a role in the Earth warming up or whether even the Earth is warming up, period?” she asked.
Trudeau defended Payette when questioned by reporters the next day.
“We are a government grounded in science. Canadians are people who understand the value of science and knowledge as a foundation for the future of our country,” the prime minister said.
“And I am extraordinarily proud of the strength and the story of our Governor General, Julie Payette, who has never hidden away her passion for science and her deep faith that knowledge, research and the truth is a foundation for any free, stable, successful society,” added Trudeau.
“And I applaud the firmness with which she stands in support of science and the truth.”
