Francis Schaeffer and the Worldwide Climate Disaster


Francis Schaeffer wrote Pollution and the Death of Man which came out in 1970. 

Tim Challies gives a fair assessment:

 

Schaeffer acknowledges from the beginning of this book what our society’s secular humanists cannot - that mankind has been called by God to exercise dominion over the earth. But like everything else in this world, man’s ability to exercise such dominion has been affected by the Fall. No longer do we tend the world always in love, but instead we ravage and pillage it. Though we may not believe in all of the dire claims being made about the world today, we must at least acknowledge that we have not cared for the world as God has called us to.

https://www.challies.com/book-reviews/book-review-pollution-and-the-death-of-man/

 

Those crying "Earth Too Hot‼" do not arrive at that conclusion from a Christian Worldview (Gen. 8:22):

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jay-hall-m-s-b64526a_day5-agt-globalwarming-activity-7343309844658999296-ijBv?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAHbbPwBBTN3-5NHy1Ow3Aqgq-KCW2E14ew

 

The  Eco-Apocalyptic predictions of "Mother Earth" activists have been wrong for over half a century:

https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions/

 

As Schaeffer pointed out, "... many thinking men see the ecological threat as greater than that of nuclear warfare."[1]

Social commentators Richard Means & Lynn White have proposed Pantheism, Zen Buddhism and the "All is 1" philosophy as a solution to the Ecological Crisis.[2]  Will Red China go "Zen" and stop being @ the Top ↑ of the dam creator list?

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=28392#

 

Not only are darter snakes mad, huge dams often have a negative effect on Indigenous Communities.  Aldous Huxley (Island) said, "Elementary ecology leads straight to elementary Buddhism."[3] 

 

We are Stewards of Creation and should treat our brother Critters with respect:

 

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

    the world, and all who live in it;

for he founded it on the seas

    and established it on the waters. (Ps. 24:1,2)

 

The righteous care for the needs of their animals,

    but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. ...

The lazy do not roast any game,

    but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. (Pr. 12:10,27)


 On the one hand, only Man is made in the Image of God (Imago Dei).  But on the other hand, we are all part of God's Creation: Man, Animal, Plant and Machine (via human invention).  Because of Creation Week, I can truly say along with St. Francis, "Brother Sun, Sister Moon."  According to Schaeffer, we should respect the tree:  

 

When you drive the axe into the tree when you need firewood, you are not cutting down a person; you are cutting down a tree.. But while we should not romanticize the tree, we must realize God made it and it deserves respect because He made it as a tree. Christians who do not believe in the complete evolutionary scale have reason to respect nature as the total evolutionist never can, because we believe God made these things specifically in their own areas. So if we are going to argue against the evolutionists intellectually, we should show the results of our belief in our attitudes. The Christian is a man who has a reason for dealing with each created thing with a high level of respect.[4]

 

The Eco-Fanatics have no basis for saying, "It's for the Children!"  Without God, Man has no intrinsic value.[5]  Many in that camp completely overlook the fact that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the world:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018NFVWK


Some would say that Saint Francis (d. 1226) is the patron saint of extreme-environmentalists.[6] 

 

** The Canticle of Saint Francis ♫

Most high, all-powerful, all good, Lord

All praise is yours, all glory, all honor

And all blessing.

To you, alone, Most High, do they belong.

No mortal lips are worthy

To pronounce your name.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through all that you have made,

And first my lord Brother Sun,

Who brings the day; and light you give to us through him.

How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor!

Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Moon and Stars;

In the heavens you have made them, bright

And precious and fair. ...

All praise be yours, my Lord, through those who grant pardon

For love of you; through those who endure

Sickness and trial.

Happy those who endure in peace,

By you, Most High, they will be crowned.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Death,

From whose embrace no mortal can escape.

How dreadful for those who die in sin!

How lovely for those found in Your Most Holy Will.

The second death can do them no harm.

Praise and bless my Lord, and give him thanks,

And serve him with great humility.

Science itself has a Christian foundation:

Saving the Whales is a good cause, but once you deny the Triune God of Christianity and take on a New Agey, Cultish Worldview, your morality is built on sand (not rock).  Evolution fails in many ways: explaining the Soul, new sources of genetic info, Origin of Life #OOL ... Signature in the Cell, Fine-Tuning, Applicability of Maths etc.  Can you defend Theism?  The Universe had a beginning - God created it (Gen. 1:1).  Design implies a Designer (Heb. 3:4).  Ethics must come from a Moral Lawgiver (see Kant).  God is the greatest, so He must exist.[7] 


Once we know that there is a God who made you, clearly He could write a book that you can understand.  Now we're ready for Truth in Religion by Mort Adler:

The Last Thing Standing - Robert Schmidt vs. Adam Smith

 

Recently, the Pastor of Grace Church in Sun Valley (91352) went on to his reward and eternal #Freedom on July 14th.  "The Last Thing standing is going to be the Church" -- John MacArthur (@ 2:30 mark):

https://youtu.be/ez20oh_x3Vg

The docudrama "Essential Church" is a prime example of speaking #Truth to power.

 

Here is my initial reaction to The Last Kingdom Standing by Robert Schmidt:  

https://bit.ly/45bBvrp

 

The Last Kingdom Standing - Hope for a World in Crisis by Robert Schmidt (Wipf & Stock, 2024):

https://www.amazon.com/Last-Kingdom-Standing-World-Crisis/dp/B0DFY512BR

The following page references will be from this work.

 

I learned a new word from reading this book, "utopistics," that is, creative ways of imagining the future (p. 137).  According to much scifi, AI, Big Brother and the Robots take over.  Our future may be grim.  Of course, Jesus promised that the #Remnant will be preserved (Mt. 16:18).  Will AI take over next month?  Could Skynet rule our future?  You may want to investigate Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era by James Barrat (2015): 

https://www.amazon.com/Our-Final-Invention-Artificial-Intelligence/dp/1250058783


Schmidt seems to lean to the #Left in a # of ways.  I have been a Sojourners subscriber myself ages ago.  I have met actual Commies ... that is, individuals who the thought that Marx & Lenin, Engels, Castro and Che Guevara were right.  I love Cuban bread and music, but I say the Cuban Revolution was tragic (1956-1959).  Have the Hutterites found the #Road_to_Utopia ♫ ?  I agree with Brother Schmidt that we should help the poor and destitute (Mt 25:31-46).  I have been to the Philippines 7x and seen extreme poverty firsthand.  Earlier this year, I was a volunteer for World Vision @ a Toby Mac concert in Tampa.   

 

Dr. Schmidt is concerned about climate change (pp. 83,108,109,138).  The remedy for #Climate_Hysteria is Do Your Own Research #DYOR ... Several chapters in Sacred Cows in Science, edited by Norbert "Doc Gator" Smith (Ph.D. Zoology - Texas Tech), leads the Global Warming Movement to face the music ♫

https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Cows-Science-Objectivity-Allowed/dp/1456585169

 

My chapter in the same defends the historicity of Noah (and the real Global Catastrophe!), see this review:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3CX6P8VO718JJ/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1456585169

            

After the Global Flood, God promised Noah,

 

As long as the earth endures,

seedtime and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night

will never cease (Gen. 8:22).

 

This seems to run counter to the fanatical environmentalist doomsayers. The Ice Age, which occurred some years after the Flood, was a real example of Extreme Climate.  So we see that a key foundation for the Christian Worldview is the 7 C's of #History >>

          Creation-Curse-Catastrophe-Confusion-Christ-Cross-ComingAgain

Recall the trail of blood and destruction wrought by those leaders in the 20th Century who took Darwin as gospel.

 

From Lutheran authors, I would offer In the Beginning, God by Joel D. Heck:

https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-God-Creation-Gods-Perspective/dp/0758627386

... and In Search of the Genesis World by Erich A. Von Fange:

https://www.amazon.com/Search-Genesis-World-Debunking-Evolution/dp/0758611005

 

I had the privilege to spend some time with Walter Lang (d. 2004), Executive Director of the Bible-Science Association.  He graduated from Concordia Seminary (St. Louis) in 1937 and started a mission church among African-Americans in Houston in the 1940's.

https://adamslostdream.blogspot.com/2010/03/walter-lang-1913-2004-creationist.html


Former missionnaire Schmidt downgrades capitalism numerous times in his work (p. 140).  How can the poor improve their economics?  Adam Smith wrote the monumental Wealth of Nations:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3300

 

No, I have not read the entire work, but I am familiar with much of the contents.  Milton Friedman (Nobel Prize Winner) references Adam Smith often in his stunning PBS series Free to Choose:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt27lKoC5LS4wbD28Jkv95UUm9H7wbVO4

 

I have read the book Free to Choose:

https://www.amazon.com/Free-Choose-Statement-Milton-Friedman/dp/0156334607

 

Friedman reveals the Miracle of Pre-Communist Hong Kong here (@ 8:34 mark):

https://youtu.be/dngqR9gcDDw?list=PLt27lKoC5LS4wbD28Jkv95UUm9H7wbVO4

 

Before Red China took over there was great freedom and prosperity, "Along with free trade, limited government, low taxes, and sound money, the Hong Kong government has scrupulously kept out of private business and personal affairs. The playing field was level as the government gave no subsidies to particular firms, sectors, or individuals."

https://www.hoover.org/research/freedoms-fall-hong-kong

 

This is straight out of Adam Smith who said that the State should not favor the Manufacturers over the Farmers!  When you think of the Wealth of Nations you may recall the importance of the Division of Labor and Skilled Workers.  How can we stop the brain-drain from developing nations?  Let docs in Nigeria serve in their own country for a decade before they come to America.  Require that Maths Teachers in Manila push Calculus for 10 years prior to applying for U.S. citizenship.

 

Can the poor get out of the rut?  Steve Harvey used to sleep in his car!    

https://news.amomama.com/283362-steve-harvey-was-homeless-3-years-slept.html

 

Now, how do we define "poor" ... there is a "Poverty Line" on income level but that is an arbitrary dollar amount.  For 2009 to 2011, 31.6% of Americans fell below the poverty line for two months or more.  Yet only 3.5% were "poor" for the entire 3 year period.[1]

 

Often hindrances to Win-Win trade squash potential progress, "Across Sub-Saharan Africa, trade corridors meant to drive economic integration under the AfCFTA are being strangled - not by tariffs, but by a hidden web of checkpoints, bribes, and inefficient customs procedures."

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/confronting-menace-arbitrary-checkpoints-bribes-customs-evans-edebor-d84tf/

 

Schmidt recounts the Israelites' journey from the Exodus to the Wandering Years to the Conquest (pp. 13-17).  One would think that those who heard God's direct voice might be open to Utopia (Ex. 20:18-22).  The Seventy Elders "saw God" ... they knew for sure that YHWH was real (Ex. 24:9-11).  Thus, under the most ideal conditions the end result was a revolting development: "In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit" (Judges 17:6).


God gave Israel definite borders (Ex. 23:31).  Globalism vs. Nationalism - which is your credo?

http://adamslostdream.blogspot.com/2018/02/is-nationalism-right-christian-view-of.html

 

I did not realize until years later that my History text from my Community College ("Oh-Trip-C") was full-on Communist!  Our whole education system has been undermined by Leftist subversion.  No wonder homeschooling and Classical Schools are so popular (Mort Adler Any1?).  I met James Lindsay, the Fake Research Punkster, and witnessed to him a couple years ago.  His book The Marxification of Education is a smash!  424 reviews can't be wrong:    

https://www.amazon.com/Marxification-Education-Freires-Critical-Marxism/dp/B0BP89FPY9

 

Professor Schmidt rightly admits that as Matthew 26:11 states, "The poor you will always have with you ..." (p. 53).  This implies that the Ultimate Utopia will not arrive until we see the New Heavens and the New Earth (Rev. 21:1-4).  Man is Totally Depraved (Eccl. 7:29, Ps. 143:2, Mk. 7:21-23) and this Planet will always see travail.  For as wii all know, Everybody Wants To Rule The World:  https://youtu.be/aGCdLKXNF3w


Is "Robert the Utopicist" dissing Creationism when he says, "Why is it that the number of confessing Christians is declining in the West and growing elsewhere?  Some put the blame on the Enlightenment and  a more scientific understanding of the universe" (p. 80).  I would recommend my Trilogy >>>

 

My book "Biological Essentialism" deals with the Genesis Kinds (Gen. 1:12):

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

 

I have also written 2 books defending the "young earth" view from History & Science:

https://www.amazon.com/Young-Earth-Possible-Science-Youthful/dp/1088860788/

https://www.amazon.com/YES-WorldView-Fallacies-Darwinism-2014-11-14/dp/B01K3RF10I


Last Kingdom Standing warns us of Repressive Government and Authoritarian Regimes (p. 101).  Can you say #Corona_Crisis ? ... Way back in 2014, Reason took up the question "Should Vaccines Be Mandatory?" According to Surgeon Jeffrey A. Singer, "Any mass immunization program that uses compulsion rather than persuasion will, on balance, do more harm to the well being of a free people than any good it was intended to convey."[2]  Furthermore, Sandy Reider, who has a Primary Care Practice in VT, points out,  

 

Current immunization policy relies on the oft-repeated assertion that vaccines are safe and effective. Yet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Institute of Medicine, and even the American Academy of Pediatrics have acknowledged that serious reactions, including seizures, progressive encephalopathy, and death, can and do occur. The federal vaccine injury court, which was established at the same time that vaccine manufacturers were exempted from liability, has to date paid $2.6 billion dollars in compensation for vaccine injuries. And there is ample reason to believe that the incidence of vaccine injury is strongly underreported.[3] 

 

If you want to help the poor, teach them a trade: plumbing, painting, electrical, HVAC, welding, mechanic, pipefitting, septic, water etc.  IT, networking, programming and Web Design may be swell options as well.  Mike Rowe's (Dirty Jobs) wisdom is spot on: "I get hundreds of letters a week from parents whose beautifully educated snowflakes are back home, sleeping on their sofa, but completely unqualified for any of the work that's available."[4]  Recall what Adam Smith said about Skilled Labor.


I was elated to see that Pastor Schmidt referenced D. James Kennedy, who left for Glory in 2007 (p. 131).  Many of the Christian Worldview priorities that Schmidt focuses on relate to the varied writings of Dr. Kennedy (from Better World Books):   

https://www.betterworldbooks.com/author/d-james-kennedy/6877269

 

Coral Ridge Ministries is continuing to make an impact on the World:

https://crm.tv/about/

 

There are many positive things that can be said about the House Church Movement (pp. 124,125).  Just go read 1 Cor. 14:26.

 

Schmidt's take on democracy:

 

Today, at a critical juncture in world history, people around the world are debating the merits of democracy versus authoritarian government. ... The conflict between democracy and authoritarian rule was also demonstrated in the assault on the US capital by people seeking to overthrow the election of the US president (p. 19).

 

Is America a seedbed for Democracy or a Representative Republic?

I would urge my Utopian brother to do some more homework on the Stop the Steal Rally.[5]  I would have gone to DC to join the Stop the Steal Rally in early 2021.  I was on the email list and received regular updates for the event.  If a large bus to DC were leaving from Dallas I would have joined them - I had the time off from work.  I was providentially spared (Is. 46:10, Eph. 1:11, Rom. 8:28).  Big Brother may have given me a seventeen year prison sentence!
