I can understand the depth of your feeling about the creation/evolution issue, but I don’t think you grasp the unkindness of your final statement that implies all followers of Christ who do not hold your view are fools to “man’s imaginings.” It is that sort of emotional rhetoric that we want to avoid on this forum; hence, a major reason why that issue is not one of Wonder of Creation’s topics.

I have read RBC’s booklets on Creation. I am not ashamed to admit I believe in a 6 day creation. I don’t care how I am thought of by other’s, especialy scientists. I would rather be God’s fool than a fool to man’s imaginings.

Thanks for your reply. You will note from my post that I have shut my ears to the great majority of people who offer opinions on global warming. In fact, I have discovered that most working meteorologists in the Grand Rapids whose opinions I have heard are global warming deniers. So I have simply chosen to listen to two individuals who are near the top in the field of atmospheric science, Ackerman and Houghton. I am trusting them as both authorities and followers of Christ to give me their honest assessment. So I will not attempt to address the issues you bring up. I defer to them. Have you read their views by following their links? Ackerman in particular speaks about the way creationism interacts with climate change issues. We have decided on this forum that we will not take up the issue of creationism vs. Darwinianism. There are zillions of sites that do that. If you want to read the RBC position on it, please go our booklet on the topic at this URL: Genesis Account

I am a weather observer for the National Weather Service. Not only do I keep a daily record of weather activity, but have access to records as far back as weather observation has been recorded for my area. There is no evidence of radical weather changes in the limited time we have been recording data.

Let me begin by saying that it is obvious that the earth has been warming since the last Ice Age. Otherwise we would never have recovered from the frozen climate the world was locked in.

The scientific community is divided on what factors cause extreem world wide weather changes. There is no solid agreement. There also is very little actual information available to be able to make a scientific factual conclusion.

There is no doubt that man effects the world we live in and most often negitively.

But the scientists I speak with at the Sterling VA Office of the National Weather Service
do not believe in the Global Warming issue as represented in the news media. Nor do I.

The bigger question is do I believe in “Creation” or “planetary evolution”.
As a creationist I can accept the Biblical view of the earth being only several thousand years old.

Science disagrees and places earth at mega millions of years old.

Which do you believe?

I was particularly struck by Dr. Ackerman’s comment that the conservative Christian community, or evangelicals mostly side with the deniers (must be partially why I was among the group).

For a subject that has massive ramifications, even for those who deny climate change, you would think we as a nation could get beyond our personal biases and look at the evidence and make appropriate responses. Your suggestions seem very sound. (From one who relates well to the young lad suggesting letting air out of tires).

Those of us who really care for the forests, rivers, or wherever we happen to care for should be together in this and help to be part of the solution.

Keep us posted. You’re doing a good job.
