God Never Lost Control of Creation

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/07

Psalm 104 offers a bracing corrective to the modern habit of treating the world as fragile, chaotic, or fundamentally out of control. In this episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner walks through one of Scripture’s most vivid portraits of creation—not as a system teetering on the brink, but as a world actively governed, sustained, and ordered by God’s wise and joyful providence. Adapted from Cal’s book Psalms of Promise, this episode explores what Psalm 104 teaches about God’s ongoing ...

This New Company Lets You "Save the Planet" for $9.95

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/02

Some efforts are so disproportionate to their impact that they border on the absurd—like bailing out the ocean with a teaspoon. In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates takes aim at one such effort: a Silicon Valley–style geoengineering startup selling “cooling credits” by launching weather balloons filled with sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. On paper, the idea borrows from real science—volcanic eruptions do cool the planet, after all. But when you scale the math, the...

More on the Greenhouse Effect

Created to Reign ·

2025/12/22

In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates revisits the most controversial sentence he’s ever spoken: “Carbon dioxide contributes very little to the greenhouse effect.” That single line has earned him everything from eye-rolling to outright insults—but it also reveals how deeply misunderstood the science has become. Dr. Legates breaks down, in plain language, why CO₂ is only a minor player compared to other greenhouse gases, why the famous “1.5°C tipping point” is more politics th...

Is The Science Really Settled?

Created to Reign ·

2025/12/19

Sometimes new research genuinely advances our understanding. Other times, long-standing claims quietly fall apart. In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates walks through two major developments in the climate literature from late 2025—one newly published paper that challenges prevailing assumptions about sea-level rise, and one highly influential paper that was abruptly retracted after its conclusions proved unsound. Together, they raise serious questions about how confident polic...

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

2025/12/19

What wiped out the great American Chestnut Tree—human industry or nature itself? The answer might surprise you. In this episode, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner revisits one of North America’s greatest ecological losses to reveal how the near-extinction of the American Chestnut wasn’t caused by human greed or deforestation, but by a natural fungal blight. He explores how this “Redwood of the East” once shaped American life, and how its disappearance challenges the common environmentalist claim that hum...

What You Need to Know About Natural Asset Companies

2025/12/12

What are Natural Asset Companies, and why did 24 states fight to stop them? In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates explains how NACs would turn the ecological “value” of forests, watersheds, and other natural areas into tradable corporate assets—placing control of land use in the hands of investors rather than owners. Proponents claim NACs unlock new money for conservation. Critics warn they threaten property rights, restrict access to land, raise food and energy prices, and op...

2025/12/05

In this special Christmas episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner steps away from the usual discussions of environmental stewardship and economic wisdom to explore a different kind of wonder. Drawing on Virgil’s Eclogue IV—a poem early Christians saw as foreshadowing the birth and kingdom of Christ—Cal traces how its imagery of peace, abundance, and restored creation resonates through history and culminates in one of the greatest musical works ever composed: Handel’s Messiah. From Virgil’s p...

Roman Catholics Speak Out On Climate Change... Again.

2025/11/28

Roman Catholic leaders are sounding the climate alarm again—but are their claims grounded in reality? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner takes a hard look at the latest warnings, from Laudato Sí to the Claretian Missionaries’ “Glad You Asked” podcast, and tests them against the actual data on natural disasters, global temperatures, and the world’s energy use. The episode breaks down why dire predictions of worsening hurricanes, droughts, floods, and fires don’t match l...

The German Idi-oddessy

Created to Reign ·

2025/11/21

Germany has long been considered an industrial powerhouse—but in recent years, its energy policies have charted a path that looks less like progress and more like self-inflicted decline. From shuttering reliable energy sources to binding one of its most prosperous cities to an aggressive net-zero mandate, Germany’s “energy transition” raises a serious question: is this bold environmental leadership, or a slow-motion economic unraveling? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates e...

Did Bill Gates Do a 180 or a 360?

Created to Reign ·

2025/11/18

Did Bill Gates really change his mind about climate change—or did he simply repackage the same old alarmism with softer language? In this episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner revisits Gates’s much-discussed COP30 “memo” and explains why the tech billionaire’s supposed turnaround may be less of a 180 and more of a full 360. From Gates’s past rhetoric to the fine print in his latest statements, Cal uncovers the qualifiers, the quiet continuities, and the strategic reframing behind the hype....

This time, they tackle the Genesis creation account, exploring its literal interpretation and relationship to scientific inquiry.

2025/11/08

Should the EPA repeal its 2009 ruling that declared carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases a danger to public health? The answer could reshape America’s entire climate policy. In this episode, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner sits down with renowned physicist Dr. Will Happer—emeritus professor at Princeton University and former JASON advisor to the U.S. government—to discuss the EPA’s proposal to rescind the so-called “Endangerment Finding.” Together, they unpack the scientific uncertainties, legal a...

Has Bill Gates had a change of heart on climate change? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates explores the tech billionaire’s surprising “strategic pivot” — from alarmist rhetoric to emphasizing poverty reduction, innovation, and human welfare. Drawing on Gates’ own words and reactions from figures like Michael Mann and The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Legates asks: has Gates truly joined the ranks of climate realists, or is this just a softer shade of alarmism?

Is Climate Change Responsible for Hurricane Melissa?

When Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean as a Category 5 storm, many rushed to blame its strength on manmade climate change. But is that claim supported by the data? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, President of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, examines what history and science actually reveal about hurricanes and climate change. Join him as he challenges popular narratives, offers a Biblical perspective on God’s sovereignty over the w...

Explaining Trump's Climate Policy

A new report from the National Academies claims that greenhouse gases are “threatening human health” — but is that really the strongest evidence to date, or another case of politicized science? In this episode, Dr. David Legates examines the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, contrasts it with a more recent Department of Energy report, and explains why the so-called “climate consensus” is far less certain than we’ve been led to believe. He unpacks the data behind carbon dioxide, climate models...

What do monsters under the bed have to do with climate change? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner explores how parents calm their children’s nighttime fears—and why the same wisdom applies to today’s rising tide of “climate anxiety.” Rather than sustaining fear with endless coping strategies or costly therapies, true freedom comes from seeing reality clearly.
