The Fall of Adam
The Apostle Paul says:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For THE CREATION WAS SUBJECTED TO FUTILITY, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that THE WHOLE CREATION GROANS AND SUFFERS the pains of childbirth together UNTIL NOW. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (Romans 8: 18-25)
The global warming battle rages on in America! The Godless liberal (“mother earth” worshiper) claims global warming is almost entirely due to American irresponsibility and greed, while the “God fearing” conservative claims the whole issue is nothing more than a hoax perpetrated by the far-left.
I believe, however, that the truth lies, as it usually does, somewhere in between these two diametrically opposed and politically motivated (manipulative) positions: this somewhere-in-between is in the realm of mature and rational thought, which can only come from Godly discernment. As the Apostle Paul makes clear in the scripture above, it is not only man who has suffered because of Adam’s fall, but “the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.”
The Liberal Position:
The liberal left argues that man is the main cause of global warming, and they’re not entirely mistaken. As with every other blessing from God, man has not been, in any way, shape or form, a responsible steward to the home (earth) the Lord provided for him, especially during the last two hundred years.
But I find it more than amazing that Darwinian-naturalists, who dominate the far left, would blame any “species,” including “natural man,” for doing what comes “naturally”! After all, according to Darwinian-naturalists, human beings are just the result of a common ancestor (“common descent”) who was “mutated” (“evolved”), over millions of years, into the “species” (“homo sapiens”) we are today.
If the Darwinians’ god, “natural selection,” created “natural man” to be self involved, greedy and all about “survival of the fittest”, then why make such a big stink when “natural man” (supposedly) starts destroying his environment. After all, as a mere “chance-mutated species” of “natural selection,” doesn’t “natural man” have the right to effect the world as he sees fit: as would be the case with any other “dominant specie”? How can any faith filled believer in “natural selection” argue with the “natural” effect of any “specie,” including “natural man,” on the “natural” world? It’s either “natural,” or it’s not!
With this in mind, if the Darwinian-naturalists are right, and “natural selection” is the creator, then why, for instance, are they so concerned with the extinction of the polar bear? I thought that, according to the Darwinian-naturalist belief, the extinction of any “species” was just another part of “natural selection’s” overall, glorious plan? When it comes to the extinction of the polar bear, or any other specie, the faith filled Darwinian-naturalist must realize it’s as simple as this: the polar bear doesn’t meet the “natural requirement” for “survival of the fittest,” according to “natural selection”! Evidently, the polar bear is no match for the “dominant species” on earth, at this point in time, so why blame “homo sapiens” (“natural man”) for being “natural selection’s” favorite? Why blame “natural man” for being all he can be, when all he’s doing, according to the cold blooded and heartless rules of “natural selection,” is acting in accordance with his “natural selected” and “chance/mutated” nature?
According to the faith filled Darwinian-naturalist’s belief system, it would seem evident that man’s destruction of himself, the flora and fauna, and the planet itself, is just “natural selection” and her modus operandi, “chance/mutation,” doing their best work. After all, according to the Darwinian-naturalist, death is a beautiful and wondrous thing, since it continually weeds out, among the “species,” the weaker, less prolific, less beautiful, less intelligent and productive individuals, or non “Aryan, Nordic” types: this was the distorted view of life that drove American eugenicists’ and Hitler’s societal solutions, and subsequent heinous actions, at the beginning of the twentieth century!
And yet, with all of this pseudo-scientific (pseudo-religious) babbling about Darwin’s (unsubstantiated) hypothesis, the Darwinian-naturalist’s response to global warming would suggest they have abandoned their faith in the natural selection process of evolution. Or at least it would appear to be so, when it comes to “natural man” and his negative effects on the environment.
{It seems to me that the Darwinian-naturalists are, in many ways, ignoring their god, “natural selection,” and for many of the same reasons they refuse to believe in God. Could it be that their god, “natural selection,” is now getting in the way of the Darwinian-naturalist’s worldly/fleshly desires, as does the true God and His righteousness? Are the Darwinian-naturalists now altering, or reshaping, “natural selection” into the god that suits them: a god that can be made up as they go?}
So evidently, Darwinian-naturalists see the issue of global warming from this simple and naive perspective: since there is no God, “naturally created” man is the ruler (“dominant specie”) of the earth, at this moment, and, therefore, fully responsible for the environment. But I still can’t fathom, for the life of me, why Darwinian-naturalists are fighting against the “natural” tendencies of “naturally selected” man?
The Conservative Position:
On the other side of this enemy-of-God inspired argument, are the institutional “church” going and “faith based” followers/worshipers of all things “made in America:” the conservatives.
Many conservatives, in my opinion, are as blind to the truth about global warming as are the liberals, but from the opposite perspective.
The average American conservative, as opposed to most liberals, believes in God.
You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. (James 2: 19)
The average conservative (middle-class working person) attends his or her institutional “church” at least two times a year: Christmas and Easter. The wealthy conservative, however, will attend his or her institutional “church” on a more regular basis, since “church” attendance is “good for business.” “Going to church” is also necessary to maintain “the pillar of the community” status that the rich and powerful enjoy and derive their income and identity from! The mixing of God’s will and truth with this corrupted form of political and economic system, is, in my estimation, the main source of Spiritual and scriptural confusion among conservative believers.
The staunch American conservative sees America, democracy, and capitalism, as being ordained of God, or at least it would appear this way from their speech and actions. So any suggestion, from liberals, or anyone else, that capitalism is having a deleterious effect on “mother earth” is immediately placed, by conservatives, in the category of blasphemy against the United States of America, and therefore, God.
The word of God, however, never implies that the Lord prefers one form of man’s government/economic system over another. God instituted government for man’s sake, but the Lord also knew man would corrupt the system; just as Saul, the first (God appointed) King of Israel, had corrupted his reign.
Here is how the Lord sees man and his political/economic systems, according to scripture:
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. (Acts 10: 34-35)
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1: 25)
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS”; (1 Corinthians 3: 19)
Simply speaking, man’s government is the lesser of two evils: without government man would have already killed himself off, along with everything else! But before we begin, or continue, worshiping at the alter of democracy and capitalism, we might want to consider a few questions:
1) “If our system of government and economics is functioning in a Godly way, then why is it so ineffective, unjust and corrupt?
2) And why would any government, claiming to be ordained of God (“In God We Trust”), be willing to deny the Lord in order to govern its people (“separation of church and state,” for instance)?”
Before we answer, perhaps we should consider these scriptures:
It is a trustworthy statement:
For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
If we endure, we will also reign with Him;
IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US;
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 2: 11-13)
“Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 10: 32-33)
{We might also want to consider and ask similar questions about the institutional “churches” (Christendom) we attend, at least two times a year!}
Conservatives, because of their faith in a God led government/economic system, evidently believe that everything America does is blessed by God, even when the outcome is destructive, or evil. Thus, the staunch conservative evidently sees global warming as either a hoax perpetrated by the atheistic far-left, or a natural cycle of which man has little or no effect on. The staunch conservative (rich or poor) would never give in to any notion that condemns corporate (capitalistic) practices, in particular, ones dealing with the oil companies. To suggest anything like this, in the staunch conservative mind, is to dabble in communism or socialism, and blaspheme against the U.S. of A. and God.
The Truth of God:
The liberals aren’t wrong when they claim American corporate greed has harmed the environment, and man should be responsible (a “good steward”) in caring for the planet. But they are horribly mistaken and naive if they believe man, in his most destructive and evil state, can destroy that which belongs to God.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1: 1)
“Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it. (Deuteronomy 10: 14)
FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS. (1 Corinthians 10: 26)
The liberals, in my estimation, aren’t totally mistaken about corporate greed, and man’s lacking in “good stewardship,” being causes of global warming! Therefore, the staunch conservatives’ position on this issue must be mistaken, since it is friendly to the ways of this world, and thus lacking in Spiritual discernment and faithfulness to the Lord.
If the world wasn’t so upside down and backwards, it would be the believer’s in God putting forth the truth, and taking the lead, on this issue, as well as all others. So, for this reason, and this reason only, I respect the Godless liberal position a little more than the religious conservative, since, at least, the liberal position is consistent (although wrong), and therefore, not hypocritical.
Man has spent six thousand years seeking new ways to destroy his enemies and thus, himself. So why would anyone be surprised that man cares little or nothing about the environment he lives in?
On one side of this global warming debate are the Godless, arrogant and confused, and on the other side are the religious, arrogant and confused. According to biblical prophesy, man, until the return of Christ, will continue to become more corrupt and Godless (including many “religious”), and the whole of creation, therefore, will continue to groan and suffer. Man will continue to harm the environment, just as he will continue to harm himself and those around him, physically and Spiritually.
BUT, God is sovereign, and the whole of creation belongs to Him. The Lord, God, will decide when all of creation will pass away and be made new, not finite, foolish and fallen man!
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21: 5-8)
These atheistic panderers of environmental paranoia condemn “Christians” for using Christ as a political ploy, and they are correct in doing so! And yet these Spiritually blind and lost 
In this corrupted and mediocre day and age, having a PhD after your name doesn’t, in reality and truth, mean you know much of anything. Just like having an MD after your name doesn’t guarantee that you won’t kill one of your patients. PhDs are handed out, these days, like candy on Halloween night: if you have the bucks, and are just Godless and odd enough, then you’re in the program! Like everything else in this Godless world, the overeducated have become as ignorant and blind as those who barely made it past sixth grade. Add to all of this that (“scientific”) PhDs are enslaved to the greed and (political) agenda oriented corporations and foundations that fund their research, and you simply have the basic recipe for bad science and manipulative, political propaganda: Darwin, and his
