Five years after anointing Dr. Roy Spencer the year's
Aside from my high regard for the scientific acumen of Dr. William Happer, the emeritus Princeton Professor of Physics... a Biblical principle accurately expressed in Proverbs 18:17, “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him,” drove my own determination to sign the letter.
Here are a few others..:
“Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment” (18:1).
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion” (18:2).
“If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame” (18:13).
“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge” (18:15).
And... the foundation of scientific method:
“Test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Beisner, the intelligence behind the design of the Cornwall Alliance For The Stewardship Of Creation, wasn't very big on testing climate ideas when he wrote its founding declaration in 2006:
'Earth and its ecosystems– created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth's climate system is no exception.'An exegesis that equally recalls Matthew 25:7
AND HE WENT AND HANGED HIMSELF
and the admonition of our Lord in Luke 10:37
GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE
