Summary



What (if anything) can the Bible teach us about climate change? Arguably, the most controversial aspect of the climate change debate seems to be whether it's occurring naturally or as a result of human technological advances. But with an issue as polarizing and politicized as it's become over the last few decades, is there a rational way to work towards a solution that benefits everyone (along with our environment)?

In this midweek podcast episode, astrophysicist and best-selling author, Dr. Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe, joins Dan to discuss Hugh's book 'Weathering Climate Change: A Fresh Approach.' Atheists and skeptics often question WHY God made the universe the way that He did, a question that Hugh will unpack for the audience in this episode. Hugh and Dan will also answer questions like:

What is God's ultimate goal for humanity and the universe?
Does the Bible offer any insight as to how to approach the issue of climate change?
Why are so many species becoming extinct?
What are the benefits of an ice age cycle?
How could improving climate change impact the economy?

 

As you'll discover in this podcast, the universe is just one of the tools that God will use to eradicate the problem of evil and suffering. But until that happens, we all have the responsibility to properly preserve our planet for future generations. Listen as Hugh offers his insight on the best ways to accomplish that goal and confronts some of the misconceptions surrounding faith, politics, and climate change.
