Author William Wolfe of the article “Tracing the Hand of God Through the Storm” is a credible author as he was a Senior Official in the Trump Administration, both as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon and a Director of Legislative Affairs at the Department of State. However, his religious stance, and Christianity as a whole, cannot be fact checked or proven with evidence. To say “Hurricane Milton was a biblical occurrence” is inherently false as natural disasters can be tracked, predicted, and explained by science. I would like to further refute Wolfe’s credibility by highlighting this passage: “First, ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming’ isn’t real. It’s a fabricated crisis that is weaponized by the global elites. No scientific evidence proves the earth is getting demonstrably or concerningly ‘warmer’ or that ‘hurricanes are getting worse because of climate change.’” NASA, WWF, Britannica, Pew Research Center, US EPA, and every other factually proven site agrees that “There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. Human activity is the principal cause.” (https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/)
Wolfe also claims, “But natural disasters will continue to occur until Christ returns to wipe away every tear from our eyes and all things are made new (Revelation 21:1-4)” which is unable to be proven as faith and belief are not based in and don’t predict real-world occurrences. The Bible gives explanations for that which is unexplainable and we haven’t discovered, but it also teaches falsehoods that contradict modern science. “The Bible also teaches that all natural disasters are a kind of general judgment in this fallen world and should lead people to repent,” Wolfe stated. This claim is purely opinion and cannot be presented as news for Christians.
