It's Wednesday, January 18th, 2023. I'm Albert Mohler, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. Part I.

And with that goes hand in hand to the affirmation that there must be more than this and there must be more than us, and that's where we have the glad opportunity to respond to a very curious world, not with what is unexplained or unrevealed, but what actually is explained and clearly revealed in Jesus Christ the Lord. We understand that there's a question of whether we are alone in the universe because that has a great deal to do with the meaning of our lives right now in the present. "Trust the science," that's what so many people in the mainstream media kept saying, "Trust the science," but you simply have to pause for a moment and ask with intellectual honesty, what exactly is the science? His term is the celebration parallax, and he says that it's a "tendency in progressive press coverage summed up by the line 'That's not happening and it's good that it is.'" I have to tell you, I find a bit of intellectual delight in that because it's something I see in the media over and over again. He said, "We don't have proof that a biologist can look at, but we have considerable statistical and now observational evidence that there must be life out there, that the earth is not unique." What kind of evidence is necessary for what kind of analysis and what kind of decision? American liberals, and let's just say that in general that means those more likely to be associated with the Democratic Party, they are inclined to take partial scientific evidence and claim that it represents a scientific fact and then say, "We need to create bureaucratic principles and past legislation in light of this scientific fact." Well, from the ideology of the climate scientists and from especially the progressives on the left, yes it is just because natural gas in this case or the gas that would be used, liquid petroleum is a fossil fuel after all, and thus it is a carbon fuel and it releases carbon not only into the atmosphere but into your kitchen. Well, it is a culture war and it's a culture war because of the bigger worldview issues at stake. But is an argument like this enough for you to take the gas oven out of your house or to decide to turn it off and not use it anymore? The origination of all of this has to do with a subset of climate science and with the claims made by some that interior space is inadequately regulated. Let me just affirm what should be obvious and that is that the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal is one of the most responsible and influential of the media landscape today.
