Now that jurors in a San Francisco court have awarded a man $289 million in damages in his lawsuit against Monsanto (and its parent company Bayer) claiming that his exposure to Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller gave him cancer, some people wonder whether the Cornwall Alliance will reverse its view that Roundup (the brand name for the active ingredient glyphosate) is not a carcinogen. The answer: No. The reason: Because the case provides no convincing evidence that glyphosate causes … [Read more...]
Church and Climate Change — Love Thy Neighbor, With Truth
The Christian church worldwide has always sought to improve people's welfare. It has been the forerunner for justice and freedom. That is understandable, because Jesus demands that we love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31). How then, in light of the best scientific and historical knowledge, ought the church to respond to climate change? How do we love our neighbors when it comes to global warming? Loving our neighbors doesn't stop with sending roses or being polite to them. We … [Read more...]
Are Christians Automatically Biased Where Science is Concerned?
Here at the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation we try to answer email questions in detail as often as we can. That's not to say we have the time to answer every single question that way, but we do try. This week Dr. Beisner received the following question from a staff member of a college apologetics ministry. (We do not include the names of those who ask questions when we share the information with our readers.) What are your thoughts on the critical claim that organizations … [Read more...]
Pope Francis’s Misguided War on Fossil Fuels
It seems that Pope Francis has learned little since his 2015 papal encyclical calling on the world to fight climate change by limiting the use of modern technologies and fossil fuels. At a recent Vatican meeting he called many of the world’s leading oil company executives to the carpet. Francis told the executives they should shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to fight “global warming.” Pope Francis has myriad misguided beliefs about climate science, almost all of which he … [Read more...]
Pope Francis Is Wrong. Climate Craziness, Not Climate Change, Threatens to ‘Destroy Civilization’
At a conference at the Vatican Saturday, Pope Francis told oil executives "climate change" could "destroy civilization." The Pope's warning ensues from his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si', in which he called climate change "a global problem with grave implications" and "one of the principal challenges facing humanity." He warned that it would most gravely impact the poor, many of whom "live in areas particularly affected by phenomena related to warming, and their means of subsistence are largely … [Read more...]
An Unlikely Ally for Scientists who Question Climate Alarmism
The "closest thing to a celebrity scientist in Seattle" is what the Seattle Times calls Cliff Mass, "a meteorologist who specializes in weather prediction and modeling," according to his faculty bio at the University of Washington's College of the Environment. Mass, a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at UW, wrote The Weather of the Pacific Northwest—one of the best-selling books from the University of Washington Press. He firmly believes that Earth has been warming for about the last 130 years, … [Read more...]
What Is Man, that We Are Mindful of Him?
The Associated Press's report today on the continuing volcano eruption on Kilauea, the main island of Hawaii, which has destroyed hundreds of homes, included the sentence, “Those who live or vacation in the area were mourning the loss of popular tide-pools where kids enjoyed swimming," which got me thinking: If, as they do, natural processes routinely replace one habitat with another, why is it, as so many environmentalists think, wrong for humans to do so? Is it because humans aren’t … [Read more...]
Ten religious reasons against climate change
Many in politics, as well as in the media, are unaware that there is a growing number of Christians who are opposed to the ‘catastrophism’ associated with global warming. They have formed what is called the Cornwall Alliance and produced an excellent statement outlining their position entitled: A Renewed Call to Truth, Prudence, and Protection of the Poor: An Evangelical Examination of the Theology, Science and Economics of Global Warming. Based upon the statement as well as the work by Wayne … [Read more...]
Quick Q&A about Genetically Modified Foods
A friend of Cornwall Alliance in Africa wrote, I am not yet certain what the real truth is about Genetically Modified Organisms (God's). Are they dangerous, or are they harmless? In a recent article on your blog, the writer totally asserts there's no danger in GMO'S, and provides links for further reading on actual findings about these products. I wonder, why is there such an aggressive crusade against them? Even well meaning, mature Christian leaders speak against their use. I would like to … [Read more...]
You shall not covet
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. Heavenly Father, Your Word is filled with warnings about the dangers associated with riches. What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his own soul? Such is the danger to every individual who lets riches take Your place. You teach us, instead of pursuing wealth, to pursue contentment … [Read more...]
