Bible Note: Bible, Science, and Global Warming. Well, I am still interested in discussing this. I am learning how to engage this forum... and I am finding that, if I put more than one idea in a post, people respond to the idea I was least interested in. I need to tighten up a little. Please do not respond to this opening paragraph. The elements of this thread that I am interested in are: 1) How does the Bible affect our engagement in concerns about environmental change? 2) How do we employ science fruitfully and faithfully (in a way that honours Jesus) to make wise and ethical choices? 3) When there are serious concerns - but not scientific consensus - should Christians not err on the side of environmental caution (as opposed to the status quo)? This thread began discussing a promise from Genesis. I propose that a text that is more relevant to global change (and nuclear proliferation) is Proverbs 26:27 --- "Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling." May the peace of Christ surround you. |
