“The world has in recent years experienced a succession of extreme weather events: America has endured a veritable cocktail of hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, droughts, and storms; in 2011 President Obama issued a record 99 major disaster declarations; flooding on an unprecedented scale inundated Thailand, China and Australia; a succession of extremely cold winters have proved costly in both northern and southern hemispheres. And this is only for starters…

This naturally leads to the question “What’s Up With the Weather?”

Our UK presenter, John Meakin, discusses in this podcast various background factors that are thought to be driving today’s climate and weather; humanly produced increases in carbon dioxide, ocean fluctuations, and especially the sun’s activities. Is it a warming world or a cooling world that is now dominating our weather and climate? You may be surprised by the answers, and especially by the intriguing twist in the conclusion that points to a little appreciated biblical perspective on the weather.”

This week on Heads Up Special guest Mr. Wallace Smith has a brief discussion of what, regrettably, we *don’t* see in the current presidential race in the United States.

This week on Heads Up we welcome special guest Mr. James Ginn. Mr. Ginn asks, does the discovery of Hybrid Black Tip Sharks prove evolution? Find out the answer to this and more.

After a short break Heads Up is back with new videos and new special guests!

In this week’s episode we welcome Mr. John Meakin to the show.

Show Summary

With the events of last Friday when the Greece bailout talks with her creditors stalled and Standard and Poors downgraded 9 eurozone nations, this subject just went straight back to the headlines and is clearly very important in its potential significance.

We open up by discussing how many are uncomfortable with the highly commercialized celebration of Christmas, but take part in that commercialized celebration anyway. Many assume that they would like to get back to the “real” Christmas, but they have no idea about the real origins of the holiday. Mr. Ciesielka helps us understand the historic origins of today’s Christmas practices.

As we find in the Catholic Encyclopedia, “Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts…” (vol. 3, pp. 724, 728). Mr. Ciesielka reminds us that in the mid-1600s, many in England recognized Christmas as un-biblical, and that in 1659 the holiday was even briefly outlawed in the colony of Massachusetts!

In conclusion, we ask the question, “Do we know when Jesus was really born?” Not only is there no record of Jesus, the Apostles or the original Church observing Christ’s birthday, there is good reason to conclude that His birthday was in the autumn, not in the winter. Rather, there are other figures from myth and religion whose birthday is said to be on or near the Winter Solstice or December 25. Mr. Ciesielka demonstrates from the book of Acts that the first Christians observed the biblical holy days and did not observe a “Christmas” day.

This week, we welcome to the Heads Up podcast a very special guest, Mr. Rod King, Tomorrow’s World telecast presenter and United Kingdom Regional Editor for the Tomorrow’s World magazine.

Mr. King, Australian by birth, has for several years lived and worked in the U.K., so he brings a unique perspective on recent events in the European Union, and on how they will affect the Eurozone as well as neighboring countries and the United States.

In his comments, Mr. King touches on a number of areas of interest. How is Britain being affected by recent turmoil in the EU? How does Britain view the EU, and in turn how does the EU view Britain? What are Britain’s prospects if it withdraws from, or is excluded from, the EU? And what should observers watch for in the weeks and months ahead?

With his insider outlook and biblical perspective, Mr. King’s comments help us understand why the pace of events is speeding up so fast in Europe, and what Europe’s future might look like.
