Title: Climate Change and Christianity
Topic: Climate Change and Christianity

Discussed by Dr. Calvin Beisner
with Cornwall Alliance (www.CornwallAlliance.org)

Dr. Calvin Beisner is the Founder and National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation and former Associate Professor of Historical Theology at Knox Theological Seminary and of Interdisciplinary Studies at Covenant College. We love to have experts on the show and he certainly qualifies – especially for this sensitive and important issue regarding fossil fuels and climate change.

“Fossil fuels are absolutely indispensable to lifting and keeping any society out of poverty,” Dr. Beisner proclaims. “We cannot use the money we spend fighting global warming to lift the remaining four billion who are in poverty.”

Questions for this interview: Is a belief in God and His son, Jesus Christ, a leap of faith? “Absolutely not,” Dr. Beisner declares. “The New Testament itself gives us plenty of reasons to say ‘no’ to that question.” Listen in as he quotes several Scriptures to support his opinion.

Is catastrophic, man-caused climate change really happening? Dr. Calvin says, “There is very strong scientific evidence that our contribution to climate change is actually very small.” He goes on to explain the alarmist “models” and how they are not only biased, they are flat wrong! They know this, yet they keep pushing billions and billions of dollars into their schemes to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

Is there any proof that man is causing this catastrophic climate change that would warrant governments to change man’s use of fossil fuels? “Anything we do to reduce [any type of] impact is going to have extremely small beneficial returns, if any at all,” Dr. Beisner believes. However, if the majority of countries across the world suddenly decide to stop using fossil fuels, the impact on the environment would be drastically altered – and not in a good way!

Is it a “leap of faith” for those who truly believe that man is causing climate change? After all, there is no proof! Dr. Calvin Beisner doesn’t want to jump to any conclusions or pretend to know what others are thinking. However, he does believe that most people are simply unaware of the facts. Listen in as he discusses a statement by Nobel Prize Physicist, Dr. Richard Feynman, regarding this very topic.
