That's right. We want you guys to help us keep the conversation moving forward. You can do that by supporting the show. You can share it online with your friends and family. Leave us a good five-star review on iTunes or Spotify, anywhere you get your podcast and content from. Go ahead and make sure it's five stars, because sometimes y'all leave a four-star review by accident, and I get a little bit cheesed off. I get angry. Here's what I do when you leave a four-star review.
I go in and I hack into the system, the back end of the system. I create a podcast with your name, and I leave it a one-star review. No show. I leave it a one-star review. Your podcast, one-star review. It's just 30 minutes of Ryan going, pfft.
Yep, 100%. That time of the year is upon us, gang, where we mourn the loss of fair summer. We go to the funeral and we say, summer was fleeting. We celebrate. We dance upon the grave of summer. Summer was but a fleeting beauty.
We were here, and then we were gone. We rejoice that the weather has turned cooler. What was the... We celebrate. We say, just as summer's hold was fleeting upon us, I was here, but now I'm gone. Celebrate. Winter celebrate.
Or if you're a dashboard confessional. I was here, but now I'm gone. I'm gone. I'm gone. I'm gone.
In the words of Green Day, wake me up when September ends. Time to get up. That was pretty good. Did you just come up with that? No.
That was pretty good. That's not original, man. I despise the autumn. I really do.
I think that it is delicious. I would rather honestly sleep through autumn, maybe get to the winter and then be like, put me back to sleep. I just can't stand it. Everything's dead. Everything's gray. Everything's cold and wet and dreary. You know what else is dead? Mosquitoes. You know what else is dead?
Plants that produce pollen that I'm allergic to. Oh, that's dead. I don't have to worry about that. It's great. People who like autumn are always going on about how the world is suddenly this wonderland. I don't care about autumn. I don't care so much about autumn.
Autumn's fine. So you want to get to the winter. Give me to winter. But it hurts. Give me to the heart of the kingdom of ice.
It hurts. That's what I want. I want frozen tundra. I want icy wasteland.
I want to be Elsa out there letting it go. It hurts to go outside. It does in the summer, too. That's called sunburn.
No, no. I don't think I got sunburnt want this summer. I just feel like... Not all of us have Greek complexion.
Fair enough. But I feel like people who like summer are universally loved. But people who like autumn and winter, typically people are like, what's wrong with you? You know what?
This is the RPG debate just in a different skin. Because you like winter. Think about the things that are in winter. Eggnog. You love eggnog.
I like eggnog, yeah. Christmas. You and me love Christmas. Yeah, I like Christmas. But you like the holiday. I like Christmas on Christmas week. Sure, sure, sure.
I don't like Christmas in October. Right, but all of that. That's there. You like fresh fallen snow?
Yeah, that's fine. That all exists in wintertime. I like some of the things, but I'm saying I don't want to sift through. Because sometimes it's unfulfilling. Last year, we didn't get any snow. We didn't get any snow, so I just had to suffer through a useless winter. And I hated it.
I hated it. And I just don't like how dead everything is. It's wet. Autumn is wet.
It's cold. It's gray. It's not, because everyone thinks- It feels so nice to put on a flannel or to put on a hoodie or a sweatshirt and walk outside and just feel the crisp air on your face.
Everybody thinks- Oh, so good. No, everybody thinks it's colorful, and it's not. It's colorful for a couple weeks, and it's gray for months.
It's gray, and it's overcast. Now, I don't- That's fine. I don't know the last time I saw something just gray and drab and said, that's beautiful. I just don't.
I just don't. You don't think a cold winter's day with a clear blue, crystal blue sky, you don't think that's beautiful? No, it's not a cloud in there, but somehow there's no clouds, but somehow there's a painful wind. Yeah. No. Oh, man, that's so good. When you step out of the car and you feel your face sting- When it bites your nose a little bit?
No. So you love to get out, and you can't see anything. I want it to be hot. Your glasses are totally fogged over. You sit down, and you have to stand up and peel your skin off of the leather couch. You love that.
I want to feel the sun put its face, put its hand over my mouth, and just like... You want to get in the car and be suffocated because of the humidity. Yeah, and so I can- No, psychopath. Psychopath.
Psychopath for that. Absolutely not. No, winter all day long. 100%. Let's ask that. I don't even need to ask him. I know he's going to take my side.
He does not like the cold that India sun has spoilt him and spoilt me. But I can't be alone. I can't be alone, so my winter lover's out there.
I know David's with me on this. Oh, there's tons of white women out there. Winter lovers. I'm not talking about fall girls with your pumpkin spice. No, I'm talking about winter. Winter. I want a red-blooded American man that loves winter.
That's what you're asking for? You can be a woman who loves winter, but I need my winter supporters. I know you're out there. We get hated on. We get ragged on the entire year. Because you're Hallmark people. Right. You're like the Hallmark girls. Okay.
So what's wrong with that? This is fake. My dad was like Santa all alone.
The owner of the bakery was Santa Claus all alone. Write in and let us know where are you winter supporters. 2-5-2-5-8-2-5-0-2-8. Or you can visit us online at clearviewtodayshow.com. Stay tuned. We'll be right back. Hey, what's going on, listeners? My name is Jon.
And I'm Ellie. And we just want to take a second and let you know about Dr. Shah's new book on the market right now called Can We Recover the Original Text of the New Testament. Boy, that is a long title. True, but it's a very simple message. The original text of the New Testament is not only attainable, but there are lots of different ways that scholars go about discovering it. There's a lot of people out there saying that the original text is lost forever or that it's hopeless to actually try to find it or that there's many texts of the New Testament. But alongside Dr. David Allen Black, Dr. Shah has actually compiled papers from some of the world's leading experts in textual criticism, including one written by himself on various methodologies for extracting the original text. And listen, if you're interested in textual criticism, this book is a great introduction to the field. You can pick up your copy on Amazon or you can buy it from our church website. That's ClearviewBC.org. We're going to leave a link in the description box so you can get your copy today.
Love that. Ellie, let's hop back in. Let's do it. Welcome back to Clear View Today with Dr. Abinan Shah, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can visit us online at ClearViewTodayShow.com.
If you have any questions or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028. That's right, and we're here in the Clear View Today studio with Dr. Abidan Shah, who's a PhD in New Testament textual criticism, professor at Carolina University, author, full-time pastor, and the host of today's show, Dr. Shah. Happy Friday, my friend. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. It is that time of year again when the degenerates and the reprobates and the hoodlums and all the, just the people of the world, the riffraff, the hoi polloi, they're out and they're saying, thank goodness fall is coming.
Thank goodness the weather is turning cold. You and I definitely agree on that. Yeah.
Definitely. I don't want to call it sin, but it's just that close. Yeah, I think it's close. It's just that close. I'm so happy. It just made me sin.
You know what? Let's go ahead. I'm so happy. I'm so happy that I can walk outside and not sweat to death and not walk outside. My glasses instantly fog over. It's one of the questions Christians always ask, is it a sin to like the cold weather? We're going to have to go ahead and lock that down 100% confirmed.
100% confirmed. I bully David all the time, you know, when I tell him it's like, and he had a hoodie on the other day and I was like, why are you wearing a hoodie? Well, it's cold.
I was like, that's the whole point. Don't you speak that on me. Don't you like that? So good.
Don't you speak that evil on me. So good. It feels so good. I got up this morning. I put on a flannel because I was like, you know, I think it's going to be cold. And I was like, oh, doggone it. I don't want it to be cold. So happy. I can't stand the cold.
The only solace I have is I know Dr. Shaw is my rock on that. We're children of the summer. Think about all the fun that happens when the weather turns cool.
Like what? Like the leaves change color. They're about to fall.
How fun is that? And then you've got Thanksgiving. It's a sign of things that are falling. It's death.
It's death. Then you've got Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is fun. And then Christmas. What if it snows? That's fun.
No, it's not. What if it's fun? My parents wouldn't let me look. My parents wouldn't let me look. Christmas cards. I see snow.
I just look at pictures of it online. I can watch the Grinch if I want to do that. Okay, snow. Once a year.
One day. That's it. That's great. Here's the thing about snow.
I'm 100% fine with that. Snow is magical. When you look out and you see it and it's unbroken, it's like, oh, this is great. This is so beautiful. The second you walk out to it and you see that brown mush underneath, it's ruined.
It's ruined. Snow is magical for about 20 minutes. Now that you've got kids, they're like, I want to go play in the snow.
I want to go play. And then you go out there and there's just, because we don't get a ton of snow. You get enough just to hide all the gross mush.
All that brown sludge. And I can't even imagine coming from India, coming here, I bet 60, 50 degrees is like, this is a shock to the system. I can't imagine it. Has your sister started saying anything about the cold? She did this morning. What did she say? She's like, it was cold.
I said, I agree. It's a little chilly this morning. We're going to open up in those low 40s. It was. Nicole had turned the heat on.
Yeah. Did y'all have the heat on? We did not have the heat on yet. We have, we've got to have the heat on.
It'll happen soon, but it's not there yet. We've got to have the heat on. Cause we woke up, I was in the shower this morning and Ellie came in and said, Holden is freezing cold. Can I put him in there with you? And I was like, no, you give me two minutes.
You can put him in there. And she put him in the bath and warmed him up. But yeah, he was cold. Poor guy.
He was cold. The verse of the day today is coming to us from John chapter 10, verse 18. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again.
This command I have received from my father. You know, one of the things that gives me comfort about knowing Jesus is not really so much the Jesus meek and mild, the Jesus like tender hearted. It's the powerful commanding Jesus that has absolute authority. You know what I mean?
And I think that's one thing that I really respect about you, especially as a pastor, but also as a text critic. And I think we said this the other day when we were, when we were doing the book club, it might've been yesterday's episode, we're, we're not arguing for, for being correct. We're arguing for scriptural authority, if that makes sense. Yes. Yeah. Yes. And that is an age-old problem where Satan asked that question, are you sure God said this?
And ever since then, he's been asking that question. Are you sure? Is this truly God's word? And so it's scripture that is under attack.
And then the authority of Christ, you know, he has authority over, over everything in this world. Yeah. And I think we're seeing more and more people either question that or doubt that in light of all the, all the devastation that we've been seeing here in America.
Yeah. With, you know, Hurricane Helene and then Hurricane Milton, the devastation that happened, people lost their homes, lost loved ones, lost their entire livelihoods. Lives have been upended.
You know, people are thinking questions like that. When tragedy strikes, if, if God is real and he's good and he's loving, he's powerful, why do these bad things happen? Natural disasters.
I mean, this isn't a crime that someone's perpetrating. This is nature itself. Right. Yeah.
Wiping things out. And so how do you call for justice? Right. You know, is there even justice to call for? You know, there's there, it's, it's a frustrating thing because with Helene and then with Milton and we haven't talked a ton about Milton because at the time of recording, it's still kind of, it's still kind of new.
So fresh. Yeah. You know, something similar to justice, right? What do you, what do you ask?
Right. You know, what do you ask God for? There are answers to this. Often people just say things, but there are no answers. There are answers.
Listen, let's begin with the first answer, which is the technical answer. Let's look at natural disasters. Why do they happen? Technical answer, at least for the hurricanes that we have been experiencing and Michael Ord, who has written profusely on this subject and I'm kind of using his material, but kind of paraphrasing it here. Hurricanes are formed when the ocean water heats up past 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
What happens at that point? The warm water evaporates faster than the cold water and there's much more water vapor in the air above. Right.
Okay. So water is heating up, evaporating, a lot of water vapor up there. The water vapor that is condensed into clouds then kind of radiates hot air. Just like a super hot cloud. Yes.
Yes. It's up there radiating the heat. And this combined with the tropical air, where are all these hurricanes coming from?
They're coming from the coast, you know, from the south. So combined with the tropical air, which is already warm, it causes a large pulse, the way he writes it is very helpful. It causes a large pulse of heat to rise high into the atmosphere. Now, if the winds from both the surface of the earth and way up in the atmosphere are moving in the same direction, surface of the earth way up in the air are turning in the same direction, the warm air begins to focus on one area. Yeah, I can see that. Like if you like, if you stir a cup of coffee, you see that focus right in the center from the ground. Yeah, I can see that like if you like, if you stir a cup of coffee, you see that focus right in the center. From the ground, from the top, and they're both almost not parallel, but more of not even concentric.
I mean, they're in sync, in sync. Then it begins to build, you know, we've seen those funnel clouds, we've seen those tornadoes. So what happens then? The combination of heat and water causes bands of spiraling thunderstorms. They start whirling towards the center and the rain gets torrential in these bands with the eye, the center of the hurricane getting the most amount of rain. We've seen that eye sometimes 15, 20 miles wide.
Yeah, that's true. They can be massive, very massive. And now as the barometric pressure drops in the middle of the eye, the wind actually increases. Which makes sense, right? Pressure drops, wind is, you know, nature abhors a vacuum. So here it comes to fill, but it's not like trickling in, I mean, it's coming massive. The wind increases and causes more of the ocean water to be picked up in the air. Yeah, makes sense. Right? So that's happening.
And David's going to throw an image that Michael Ord put in one of his books, and it'll be there in just a second. So barometric pressure drops, wind increases, picks up more ocean water, and this makes the storm become even more violent. So it's heat and pressure. And I would say moisture and wind. It's a foursome combination, heat, pressure, moisture, and wind.
Yeah. Hurricanes are massive storms too, even like the small category ones, or even if you're talking about like tropical depression, tropical storms, they're huge. They're devastating like when they touch land. I can't imagine, but you know, what's funny is I think people don't realize how fearsome they actually are like when they're on the ocean. As soon as, I don't know if this is true, but I've always heard that when it touches land, they start to die. Yeah, they begin to dissipate.
We all know that. If it hits cold water or if it goes into the mountains, then at that point it becomes a tropical storm, category two, whatever, whatever. Now what happened with say Helene, you know, we're talking about what happened in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, even Virginia, maybe even Northeast Georgia mountains.
We used to live there. What happened is the rain began to come even before Helene made, you know, land fall. And so ground was already soaked with water. And then that sort of became weather fuel. So winds are picking up, so it picks up that groundwater and it's like this massive engine or vehicle or truck, I guess, it's just roaring and you're just constantly putting oil and I mean gas in it, so it's taking even more power.
I mean, just going full force. And then something else happened. Not only did this hurricane stay a hurricane up in the mountains, but all that water did not kind of go into the ground because it was so torrential.
It's just, you know, you've seen that. You've seen that in our streets and highways when it's like a torrential rain, the water just sort of stays on top. Like if you've got a- The ground can't absorb it. If I soak a sponge full of water and it's completely full and I pour more water on it, the water's just gonna fall. It's not gonna absorb the water.
Yeah, where's it gonna go? And if the ground is hard, especially, you know, rocky ground, then nowhere to go. So what happened with this is that water sitting on top, it took all the loose dirt, which is not just like a little bit of, you know, dirt, it's millions of tons of dirt. And it took it along with debris and trees and homes and light poles and telephone poles and vehicles. And unfortunately, sadly, human bodies, I mean, it took it all down and water will find the path of least resistance and found that path of least resistance. And down it came into those creeks that are only ankle deep. Now they became a raging river by 14 feet deep. That's right.
You know, we mentioned that yesterday. The landscape is changed forever. It's a complete change of landscape. By the way, something interesting to point out, you know, something terrible, horrific.
People talk about creation taking millions of years. Go out west. Don't go if you're just gonna go for sightseeing because you need to go there to help.
If you're not helping, stay away from Western North Carolina. But if you see those images, some of those creeks and, you know, riverbeds, they were not there. They didn't exist yesterday. Yeah.
Yeah. Just a few hours ago, there was nothing there. But a hundred years.
It's getting completely reorganized in just a couple hours. But a hundred years from now, some scientists will come along and say, see this raging river? It actually took millions of years. It's been there for millions of years.
No, it hasn't. Ten or fifteen thousand years for this thing, they would be like, no, it was not there one day. And it was there the next day. The next day it was there. It carved it out. Imagine this planet going through not only creation, but also the separation of water from the land.
Can't do that because it's so unscientific. Yeah. That's how you read that in fantasy books, but it doesn't happen in real life. Oh, look, it just happened.
It's on the news. And then the worst catastrophe to hit this planet, Noah's flood. Imagine what that did to the terrain. Right. Yeah. If this one isolated hurricane was devastating.
Over less than 12 hours. Did this. Right. Imagine Noah's flood. Yeah. That's how Grand Canyon came to be, folks. Yeah.
True. That's exactly how the Grand Canyon was formed. Yeah.
The Colorado River. Seems a little unscientific to me. Yeah. Maybe that's just me.
Maybe that's just me. And you can go look at the same rivers now. They're not fourteen feet deep. Yeah. True. The water's gone. Right.
And it's just a little trickle left. Yeah. I don't know.
Anyways, going back to this. So people have all kinds of conspiracy theories on how this has happened. And a big culprit here is global warming. Yeah. Global warming. Dog on Al Gore, man. We should have listened to you, man.
We didn't listen. Oh, yeah. I hate that. Inconvenient truth. Inconvenient truth. Yeah. No, it's not truth at all. I mean, just carbon credits. Send it my way.
Put it in my mailbox. So the question is, is that causing the water to heat up? Because as we began this whole conversation, it began by saying when the water temperatures get beyond 80 degrees Fahrenheit, storms begin. Right.
That's right. So is it climate change? Because if this is happening, the next question is, are humans to be blamed?
Because that is what is often claimed. It is claimed that human beings are the cause for the rise in temperature since they are burning lots and lots of fossil fuel. They're destroying all the rainforests, tearing them down. Every time you get in your car and your SUV, by the way, they don't say that anymore. No, I've noticed that rhetoric has changed. Yeah. It's no longer the one during Katrina is like, oh, the SUVs, man.
People were slicing people's tires. I remember. Yeah.
They were trying to get you to drive a hybrid, man. I remember that. I remember that. Isn't that crazy? Slashing people's tires. Yeah. Wild.
I don't see people. But people are mad at Elon Musk, so they're not going to push the Teslas at all. They're like, well, I really want these people to drive Teslas, but I don't like Musk.
I don't like him. That's funny. Who cares about the climate? Yeah. Yeah.
It's all good. So the first thing first, carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases have risen in the past hundred years. So there's a little bit of truth to it.
Yes, there is truth to it. There's global warming. Exactly.
But the greenhouse gas that has caused the most warming is actually water vapor, not carbon dioxide. It's not my SUV. Ooh. No. Yeah.
You mentioned your narrative there. Yeah. It's not all the methane from the cows and all that stuff. Right.
It's the water vapor. Yeah. I appreciate this, by the way. You remember that? Yeah.
I do. We talked about this, how they were saying, oh, man, the carbon dioxide is just going through the roof. And then you actually look at the percentage, it's like, oh, that's it? Yeah. No, it's not.
Yeah, it's not. That's the annoying thing. These studies take time.
They take years so that you can establish these patterns. But in the waiting, you always have to wait for the people who, or you have to put up with the people who just know it's you. It's you and your car and your lifestyle. It has to be. And I just got to, I was like, man, I just got to listen to you for another 10 years until the data comes out. Yeah.
That's annoying. Buy my green credit. Yes.
Give your greens to my credit. Right. Exactly. Exactly. And so, and then there are natural causes for climate change, like strong volcanic eruption, which cause cold global temperatures.
Okay. And then El Nino, we used to talk about El Nino back in the nineties. We don't talk about that anymore.
I remember hearing about that in school, and then I never heard about it in college. La Nina. Yeah, La Nina, El Nino. El Nino is warm water in the Pacific Ocean, which causes hot global temperature. Okay.
Okay. So this is different than human beings driving too much, putting too many, you know, gasolines or driving too many gasoline powered vehicles that's all of a sudden driving the temperature to the roof. That's not what's happening here. They also have found that there are more sunspots now, which cause higher temperatures. By the way, sunspots actually are cool spots. So sunspots, you would think, okay, that's making it hotter.
No, no. But what happens is when there are sunspots, there's also what's called fakule, which are the hotspots. So you have sunspots, but to counter that there are hotspots, which actually make things hotter.
Like for a beam of light that would make things hotter, there's also a shadow, you know, because if you have a hotspot or a beam, you have to have a shadow as well. Right. So that actually makes things hotter.
Yeah. And if you study the history of our planet and where do you study them? Literature. So what you find is that our planet, and I believe it's only 6,000 years old, has gone through periods of cold and hot temperatures.
Read some of those, even like Shakespeare's literature about 500 years ago, it was much colder, much colder. So one of the reasons why the Vikings were leaving their Greenland to go find some other place to live. Yeah. It was raining. Yeah.
It was very cold. Yeah. So the earth is getting hotter, but you said man is not the cause of that. This is a natural variation. And how much hotter?
I mean, you would think if we've all been driving these patrol powered vehicles in the past 150 years, or maybe less than 100, or maybe 100 years, 120 years, it should be like astronomical. No. But in 1880, the temperature has risen only 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Really? On average. Just one degree?
Yeah. Barely two degrees. Barely two degrees.
In what's, what is that? A hundred something? That's 140 something years.
140 years? Yeah. So yes, it has risen, but not the way it is made out to be. Right. This is not a crisis. Right. Not a crisis that we can control. Right.
This is what, it is sad. Maybe the control could be in the sense of, hey, the coastal communities need to think again about where you're building. Exactly. Yeah.
Rethink that beachfront property. Yeah. Maybe think again on emergency management systems.
Right. Maybe we need to have disaster relief ready to go every hurricane. And also if you study hurricanes, if this is global warming, and I hope people are listening and watching. If this is global warming and if this is climate change, you know, people don't like global warming some days, some days they like climate change. People are weird.
Yeah. Why are certain years higher than others? That's a great point. Or better said, why are certain years more hurricanes than others? Because they're not every year. Right. And it's not like a trend. It's kind of- Ups and downs. 2004, they were like a record number of hurricanes. Record number.
What happened? Right. Was it like people were just driving like crazy?
Like every waking minute, people were like, I got to drive. Oh, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. You're saying the variations indicate that this is a natural phenomenon. It's a natural phenomenon.
Because we haven't like done better some years, worse some years. Yeah. Like this was a year like everybody was driving. Even the kids were like, I'm just going to take dad and mom's car while they're asleep and drive. Yep. The variations.
Everybody about their five-year-old in SUV. I'm with you. The variations indicate that this is probably a natural thing that is more or less outside of human control. It is outside of human control. And I would say best we can do with our technology, with our understanding, is create ways to help people, to provide relief, to even prevent in the sense of some of these coastal communities need to think twice about what are you building, what you're doing. Be careful. Yeah.
It's going to destroy. That's a great point. If you look through history, technology has not been what it is and human contributing to the environment has never been what it is today. But storms weren't like less frequent throughout history.
There wasn't like way less natural disasters then than there are now. Right. Right. And so we've had the technical answer. I know there's a biblical answer to get into.

Jon, anything you want to plug as the show ends?
Yes, absolutely. Make sure you pick up our debut album, Heaven Here and Now. It's available right now on iTunes and Spotify. Also pick up Dr. Sean Nicole's book, 30 Days Praying for America. You'll be glad you did.
It's daily devotions to help heal our nation. It's available on Amazon and Apple Books, I think, maybe? Coming soon. I think so. Yeah. Coming soon to a digital bookstore near you. It's definitely on Amazon, so go ahead and grab your copy today.
That's right. You guys have a wonderful weekend. Worship me with your church families, and I will see you bright and early Monday morning. I've got a great week of content planned for you. We love you guys. We'll see you Monday on Clearview Today. Good job.
