In the News

Was just checking out weird news on canoe.ca and caught this head line Evangelicals team with scientists against global warming

For some it would seem an old pair, probably why it made weird news headlines. The Evangelical representative said, “We discovered that we were both speaking from our hearts and our minds. We found that we really like each other,” Yay for Evangelicals getting along with people outside their normal bubble. Though not all Evangelicals are happy with the alliance. Some don’t even want to enter a dialogue about the subject. Maybe it is because those crazy scientists believe in evolution after all or maybe its something else all together. Why is it so hard for Evangelicals to get along with other people, especially when they teach their children to play nice at Sunday school?

I think I’ll watch An Inconvenient Truth soon.

I've never really understood this either. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me why we should over look the things that we have in common simple because we can't agree on others. I know I'm toeing a very fine line here, but who really cares? Unless you specifally out to prove there is no God I don't have a problem with you. Besides that why should we forego the original duties laid out for us by God just because the people who now head up these projects aren't "christian." It's childish and there's no excuse for it.
A.T.H.

it is so hard for them because they have learned to define themselves by 'what they are not' instead of by what they are. 'we are not pro-choice. we are not environmentalists. we do not consider evolution.' etc etc. dialoguing amiably would mean that they have found a new identity....(a better one, one that is positive and defines themselves by what they are: we believe in Jesus. we believe in creation being healed. we believe in treating all life with respect. etc etc.)
