God created science, it's not as though we can pray our way out of the scientific truths he created.
. Scientists have been telling creationists that for centuries.

The subjective view of science never trumps scripture. Objectively evolution is wrong both from a scriptural standpoint and from a scientific standpoint.

Gives you a vaccine that let’s you attend church meetings though so that’s nice right ?
It strikes me that we are at liberty to take or not take the vaccine. Christians should be at church in droves every Sunday, pandemic or no pandemic.

And probably drive without safety belts because you know God.
I would submit that is a matter of Christian liberty as well. It's certainly none of the state's business weather people wear seatbelts or not. Government should not be in the role of everyone's scolding mother.

The notion that science is anti-Christian is ridiculous.

It’s not science, per se, but SCIENTISM that is the problem. Anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of GOD is under his anathema.

Prince Harry's place in history has turned out to be almost exactly what the Duke of Windsor's was except for this--

The latter became a pathetic figure, but he did give up much in order to stand by his choice of a wife. That can be admired. Harry gave up much less but cannot stop talking as though he matters.

Or perhaps drive drunk, because liberty ?
I have no problem with people doing that so long as the penalty for injuring or killing someone on the roadway while intoxicated is equal to punishments in scripture.

So you also advocate for death of a church member that infects some poor soul that later dies because someone felt he wasn’t worshipping unless he physically went to church and got infected while doing so ?

Equal punishment according to scripture so it is all fine now ?

And it really brings your loved ones back if the perpetrator dies whatever it happens with disease or drunk driver ?

Harry doesn't say a thing without Markle putting it in his ear. The guy isn't bright.

The Duke of Sussex has been involved in the patronage he was speaking on behalf of since its inception using funds from a trust founded in the name of his mother way back in 2000. His father has been a climate advocate since the 1970s and is widely credited for being the one who introduced Diana to environmental concerns since the 80s... This was long, long, long before Markle was in the picture.

As for him being not “bright,” you clearly don’t know a lot about him. Maybe check out his distinguished military career, the impacts he has had on service member societal reintegration, post-conflict medical care for vets, and the loads of work he has done for mental health awareness in the private sector (again, all pre-Markle).

I get that she is a strong, intelligent woman with a lot going for her, but he is a philanthropist and advocate in his own right. He has made contributions to his country, its military, and the people who serve in it that any person would respect (especially those who claim to respect soldiers and their sacrifice and commitments).

The environment has nothing to do with the rise of the Chinese Coronavirus. China is the biggest polluter in the world by a country mile but the virus wasn't caused by environmental damage. If Harry thinks we're suddenly connected today in ways that cause pandemics, he should perhaps brush up on bubonic plague and other pandemics of history. Modernists of all ages imagine they're more sophisticated and connected than the peoples of the past. Such a view is typically hogwash.

Again, he didn’t say the virus was caused by pollution, Mother Nature, or the Easter Bunny. He said that the dramatic and temporary healing of certain aspects of the damage humans have done to the environment that came about when we all went on lockdown for six weeks highlighted how interconnected we are to the environment and how we can make a significant and humbling impact to its restoration if we so chose to do so.

Basically, he is saying to the people who use racist terms like “China virus” and use other countries negative environmental impact as an excuse to not bother doing their part to protect the environment that they need to take off their pouty pants, put on their thinking caps, and realize they can and should do their part to ensure the longevity of the planet.

How will we distinguish Chinese food?

By brushing up on the concept of contextual English grammar and its uses as a means of elaboration vs subversive racism...? It’s a basic, high school level grammar lesson.

And by use in it's objective form?

Apparently maybe polishing up on that (as well as the correct application of contractions) may be a good idea too. Didn't think we’d have to break it down quite so completely to the basics, but that’s fine.

1. Christians belong in church not in front of screens. When we come to church we come face to face with God and his Courts. We are not doing that alone, isolated and on a screen.

2. My point on drunk driving is that we should be reducing the power of the state on petty matters while pushing them to actually enforce God's law. Scripture would require the execution of someone who kills someone while drunk. I rather suspect a few executions would resolve any problem society may have with drunk driving. Instead, the state plays cat and mouse with drunks, wasting tax money and achieve nothing more than increased petty power and a need for a massive police and court apparatus to deal with petty state declared crime.

My wife is an anglophile who borderline obsessively follows the British royal family and politics. It is abundantly clear that Harry is impulsive and not particularly bright. Markle is a classic narcissist, in the same vein as Trump only less vulgar in her public speech. (ie they both have a tendency to ditch friends when they're no longer needed and they pit family members against one another for their own gain)

Just because someone pushes charitable causes doesn't mean they have the slightest idea what they're talking about. Among social elites it's very popular to push leftwing environmental causes. In the case of Harry and Markle, they seem to have a do as I say not as I do attitude. Private planes, helicopters, a mansion with 8-10 bathrooms, manicured lawns and that's just in California. The hypocrisy is glaring. Harry isn't bright enough to catch on and Markle is too much of a social climber to care.
