Who are you to dictate whether or not Exxon has the right notions in mind when they grant research funds?

They don't actually grant research funds on Anthropogenic Global Warming. If they did, you would have a point. Instead the simply fund propaganda groups that put out misinformation on the subject.

In a related comment, why would you go first to what a corporation says about scientific discovery that might harm - indeed, severely disrupt - their business? Lest you think I'm being skeptical, think of all the instances of chemical companies suppressing data from lab testing, and the resulting suits when people began to realize - tragically late, in far too many cases - that the medical issues that they had experienced (tremors, bone dissolution, sterility, leukemia...) were not only a direct result of the work that they had done, but that the company knew that there was a high likelihood of dangerous side effects? A lot of cases like that busted the door open on the issue, and now we have better accountability for chemical manufacturing. But those stories should remind us that we should never be naive about a profitable company's motivations.

That last remark sounds rather cultish or something.

Take it up with God. Read Revelation lately? All the signs point to the imminent return of Jesus for his church. What prophetic sign needs to yet occur before that happens?

This world will be burned up by fire. And God will create a new earth. When was the last time you actually opened your Bible and read it?

And why do you seem to resent it when believers say they are not worried because "God is in control?"

In your opinion, is He or isn't He?

Could anything happen to His creation somehow against His will?

Forrestkc, I just wanted to say that many of us here do not accept the doomsday predictions of today's scientists for many reasons. One of them for me is reading that back in the 70's, those scientists were telling everyone that the earth was actually cooling - and they had all the data to prove it! :noidea:

So why are you like a pitbull with a bone when it comes to Global Warming? Do you have some insatiable need to be proven right? Do you need the ego-stroke THAT bad?

If you are THAT sure of it - go off the grid, use a horse and buggy to get around in, and go build a Ted Kaczynski type cabin way back in the woods and await our fate. Then when the flood waters start rising from all the glaciers melting, and we're all dogpaddling to stay afloat, you can stand on the roof in your sackcloth and scream, "I was RIIIIGHT!"

You claim to be a Christian, yet you WON'T accept how the Bible says the world will really end.

Hint: It won't be from Global Warming...

No one claims that Global Warming will be the end of the world. So its not a Biblical issue.

You raise a good point Cobalt.

"I could go on and on. Who's in control? God or the scientists?"

Christians believe God is in control of the Earth and that it is foolish to think otherwise. Scientists, believe they "should" control the earth, because they think they are "big wise" and are the only ones "powerful" enough to stop the Earth's rotation. I say that, because basically they think they can control nature. Climate comes from the earth's orbit and spin, to control the climate, you'd have to be able to control the spin and rotation of the earth.

How wise is someone that doesn't believe in God? Someone, who is atheist or agnostic, should be heavily scrutinized for their opinions, because even the dumbest among the human race know there is a God and if some "intelligent scientist" can't understand that, then how smart are they, really? They are only showing their contempt for the human race. They believe they are too smart to believe in God and that us "simple" folk are too stupid to preserve our environment.

So, I ask this question, who has kept "nature" under control since the dawn of man? It wasn't the scientists that were born wealthy and didn't have to work a single day their entire lives.

Farmers control nature, by tending to their fields, hunters control nature, by controlling predator populations, fishermen have tamed the sea by fishing from it. But, guess what scientists have created? Efficient tools to kill and destroy.

The working man has done more to preserve this planet and he will continue to clean up the scientists's messes.

Climate change is yet the latest scientific scheme that will inevitably destroy this nation. Biofuels, wonderful, we are burning up our food supply for energy. Toxic lightbulbs that will eventually leak into our water system. Carbon credits, a tax system that will destroy our economy and bankrupt our nation.

Scientists belong in laboratories, where they are harmless and can be closely monitored, they do not belong in policy.

Who invented the catapults, greek fire, gun powder, etc?

Do us a favor scientists, climb back into your cages, do your experiments and mind your business.

Funny, that people put more faith in scientists than they do the bible. Which one has a 100% correct track record and which one has been proven wrong on more occasions than anyone can count?

How smart can a person truly be if he chooses to ignore the irrefutable facts of the bible? It is foolish to put more faith in man, than God. Quite arrogant of us (humans), isn't it?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
