Resisting Environmental Extremism

Date:March 21, 2011
Host:Jim Schneider
Guest:Dr. James Wanliss


James A. Wanliss, Ph.D., is a lay theologian and physicist. His entry into
the environmental debate began when he was asked to teach a university
course that scientifically examined several prominent claims of the
Green movement that proved to be either false or highly exaggerated. As he
explored the movement further, seeking the origins of its flawed scientific
claims, he found that its pervasively religious terminology showed that it
was an alternative to the Christian faith. Born in South Africa and educated
there, he has undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and physics,
a master of science in geophysics, has been an elder in the Free Church of
Scotland and is now associate professor of physics at Presbyterian College,
Clinton, SC.
The basis for this Crosstalk is a new book released by the Cornwall Alliance
for the Stewardship of Creation. The book, Resisting the Green Dragon,
looks at the extremist worldview, ethics and theology of the "green"
movement. More specifically, its author, James A. Wanliss, Ph.D., uses
his time on Crosstalk to expose this movement's anti-Christian spirituality
and its attempt to co-opt the church by folding its principles of conservation
and "planetary salvation" into evangelicalism through leaders like Jim
Wallis, Ron Sider and others.
