Several of the signatories to "A Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change" Have privately admitted that they don't necessarily believe that any global warming is due to human activity despite the fact that they signed the document that appears to indicate otherwise. Others haven't responded. Dr Frank S. Page (current President of the Southern Baptist Convention) says that he has apologized for signing a document that seems to be approved by the convention. None of these recantations have been published by any major news media that I have seen and the document is still on line. To me this represents a clear moral and ethical dilemma that can not be ignored.
`
In his popular book "The Signature of God" Grant Jeffrey quotes an English theologian who wrote in 1864 that the Bible and the Church were in no danger from attacks by their detractors but instead were in peril from the weak defenders who are conceding more and more of the faith until you can't tell the difference between the assailants and the defenders.
`
One excuse given for signing this document was to placate the young people who have been traumatized by alarmists like Al Gore. Isn't it our duty instead to tell young people the truth from the Bible? The last verses in the 8th chapter of Genesis are a promise from God that assures us that as long as the earth exists there will be seed time and harvest, summer and winter and night and day. Much can be concluded from these verses. We can take comfort in the knowledge that If there is harvest there will be food and that God is in control not man.
News Update
It was reported today that at least one scene from Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", that depicts icebergs calving from an arctic ice shelf, was apparently pirated from an earlier movie whose producers say was computer generated and was not an actual event. An English judge ruled that Inconvenient Truth contains nine scientific errors and can not be shown in public schools unless the alternative view is given as well.

Gore Isn't quite as green as he has led the world to believe.
But on the other hand I encourage all of you to sign up for green energy since Ramona (my wife) has an interest in a West Texas wind farm.

Priests in ancient societies such as the Aztecs and the Incas offered human sacrifices in an attempt to appease the weather Gods. Our society appears to be preparing to do the same. Those ancient religions no longer exist.

Jimmy we talked about this in our class this morning and all of us, including our pastor have the same opinion as you. Just thought I would let you know that you are not the only one.
