I've alerted you several times in the past about Richard Cizik, the liberal activist who occupied for several years perhaps the most powerful post in the National Association of Evangelicals. When the NAE finally let him go (they couldn't take the heat when Cizik endorsed homosexual marriages), Cizik quickly landed another job where he could continue to influence weak-willed and/or ignorant Protestants; that is, in the “New Evangelicals” project of the Open Society Institute -- funded by none other than George Soros.
That's one of the dispiriting items found in this article by Connor Ewing. But there's a lot of encouraging and otherwise important information too. Here's an example:
...Dr. Craig T. Mitchell presented the theological case against global warming alarmism with a presentation called “Call to Truth: Ethics & Worldview.” He argued that the debate over global warming is rooted in worldview: “A lot of people have all the wrong worldviews, so they jump to all the wrong conclusions.” According to Mitchell, a non-Christian worldview can lead to one of two beliefs about man’s relationship with the environment. The first is that the earth is something to be worshiped, instead of its Creator, and that no expense should be spared to protect it. The second flawed belief is that “plants and animals are more important than human beings, and that man is just a mere parasite or disease on this earth.”
Erroneous views of creation have very real implications for policy. “With these kinds of wrong ideas, one of the natural results is cap and trade legislation,” he said. “Cap and trade legislation is based on all the wrong ideas about creation.”
Like I said, there's more. So why not take a look at "Evangelical Scholars Respond to Global Warming Alarmism" right here at the Institute for Religion and Democracy.
