France's Le Pen Wants Aliens Out
Jean-Marie Le Pen turned up his anti-immigration rhetoric on Friday, saying France should set up "transit camps" for illegal aliens and even organize a "special train" to ship immigrants to Britain. :: What is it about the fascist worldview that always wants to round THEM up and put THEM into camps? Our Enlightenment view of history tells us that we are making progress and building a better future. However, here we are at the dawn of the 21st Century and another European politician is again engaged in the demagoguery of demonizing his fellow humans, calling for them to be rounded up and deported, to get rid of them, the others, the foreigners, the aliens, those not like us. In stark contrast to the Enlightenment view of our ever progressing future, Christianity tells us that humanity is flawed and that this flaw in our nature is constant. The good news is that the flaw had a cause and it can be fixed, our fallen nature can be redeemed, but only by asking the Redeemer.

2002 'warmest for 1,000 years'
The first three months of this year were the warmest globally since records began in 1860 and probably for 1,000 years, scientists said yesterday. Dr Geoff Jenkins, director of the Meteorological Office's Hadley Centre, said the record on land and sea was consistent with computer predictions of the effects of man-made global warming. :: This Daily Telegraph report submitted for your fear for the future (Luke 21:26) files. From what I can tell, the state of the science suggests that the data is not there to confirm global warming as anything more than a trend that could be naturally cyclic. However, the fact that people are worried about what this means for the future of the world (islands sinking, coastlands flooding, ice shelfs melting and possibly releasing dormant viruses into the environement) suggests to me that global warming can be included as a possible fulfillment of this prophetic sign.
