Movie Noah Trades Redemption For Destruction
Was Noah a violent, murderous environmentalist who experienced an anthropogenic apocalypse? Did God hate humans because they destroyed His earth? Not according to the Bible. Darren Aronofsky, director of the new movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe, clearly didn’t read his Bible very carefully—or didn’t like what he read. The movie Noah changes a story of love and redemption into an environmentalist propaganda piece about humans destroying the earth, and a call for human extinction. Brian … [Read more...]

Cornwall Alliance: “Playing Silly Games with Pseudo-Science”?
Is dangerous manmade global warming as certain as that Jesus of Nazareth existed? If you’re a well-informed person with a tolerable knowledge of the overwhelming historical evidence for Jesus’ existence and the enormous and complex controversies over global warming, your answer, after brief reflection, should be easy: No. And if you’re a thinking Christian who recognizes the Bible as the Word of God, your answer should be instant and without hesitation: Definitely no. Shockingly enough, … [Read more...]
Protecting the Unborn and the Pro-Life Movement from a Misleading Environmentalist Tactic
A Joint Statement by Pro-Life Leaders Recently some environmentalists have portrayed certain of their causes as intrinsic to the pro-life movement. The tactic often involves appealing to a “seamless garment” of support for life, or to being “consistently pro-life” or “completely pro-life.” As leaders of the pro-life movement, we reject that portrayal as disingenuous and dangerous to our efforts to protect the lives of unborn children. The term pro-life originated historically in the struggle … [Read more...]
Are Mercury Emissions as Evil as Abortion? Somebody Wants Voters to Think So
Green group’s notion of pro-life comes straight from Alice in Wonderland “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”—Humpty Dumpty How do you turn politicians with 100% pro-abortion voting records into pro-lifers? The old-fashioned way would have been to persuade them that killing babies in their mothers’ wombs violates the God-given, unalienable right to life that governments are instituted among men to protect. But persuasion can be difficult. Not to … [Read more...]
EEN’s Machiavellian Mercury Campaign Threatens Pro-Life Movement
If the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) has its way, some members of Congress with 100% pro-abortion records will be able to boast that they’re pro-life, and others with 100% pro-life voting records won’t. Come again? No, your eyes didn’t fool you. You read it right. Radio, television, and billboard ads EEN is running in nine states and the District of Columbia imply that those who support the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed new limits on mercury emissions from power … [Read more...]
Is the Campaign for New Mercury Regulations Really Pro-Life?
Recently the Left-leaning Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) ran an advertising campaign on Christian radio stations and orchestrated a letter to members of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, urging support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) controversial proposed new regulations to force reductions on mercury emissions from electric power plants. EEN portrays the regulation as pro-life, claiming that 1 in 6 American babies is born with dangerously high levels of mercury in … [Read more...]
Risky Business: The Hidden Dangers of the National Day of Prayer for Creation Care
The Evangelical Environmental Network declared Friday, May 20, “National Day of Prayer for Creation Care.” While I’m wholeheartedly in favor of praying for a clean, healthful, beautiful Earth every day, I’m cautious about this campaign. What raised my concern was the campaign’s central emphasis this year: “The day will focus on the impacts of mercury on the unborn …,” said an email. Then, at EEN’s website, the page on “Mercury & the Unborn” claimed, “Approximately one in every six babies in … [Read more...]
