In a World of Demographic Despair, Christ is the Answer

By /

With a rapidly shrinking population leading to grave economic and social problems, Japan is now reported to be experiencing a strange phenomenon: lack of interest in sex—not just for procreation, but even for recreation. Strange? Yes. Surprising? Perhaps not. Around the globe young people—especially in developed countries—are taught to live in what Michael Crichton aptly called a State of Fear. The […]

Can Faith and Science Cooperate? A Meteorologist Appeals to Scripture About Global Warming

By /

Recently Certified Consulting Meteorologist Anthony J. Sadar, a Contributing Writer for the Cornwall Alliance, committed an unpardonable sin for scientists: he appealed to the Bible as support for his understanding about manmade global warming.

Critic: Cornwall Alliance Is “in Denial” about Climate Change and Lacks Credibility

By /

Every once in a while we get unfriendly emails. This one came last week: I am very disappointed to see such a lack of credibility relating to climate change in your organization. It is arguably the single biggest threat to the planet and to dealing with the issue of poverty. The fact that your organization

Does Caring for “the Least of These” Demand Fighting Global Warming?

By /

Recently, my fellow evangelical scientists and academics sent a letter to the United States Congress urging immediate legislation on climate change.

Science Class? Or Religious Humanist Recruiting Ground?

What Kind of Person Makes a Good Earth Steward?

By /

Sometimes we can get so into the thick of things that we miss the big picture. We get our priorities out of balance—family overwhelms church, or church family; work overwhelms fellowship, or fellowship work; nutritional precision overwhelms enjoyment of God’s good gifts of foods—or vice versa! With regard to Earth stewardship—fulfilling the mandate for godly

Learning about God from Dark Lightning, Sprites, Blue Jets, Elves, Crawlers

By /

Sometimes we just need to shut our mouths, stand back, and watch. I’ve been driven to that many times while watching storms—one 30 years ago rushing out of the north at my little house in north-central Michigan, one 25 years ago over the New Mexico desert with a train in the foreground and glowing red-rock
