James A. Wanliss, Ph.D., is a lay theologian and physicist.


His entry into the environmental debate began when he was asked to teach a university course that scientifically examined several prominent claims of the Green movement that proved to be either false or highly exaggerated.


As he explored the movement further, seeking the origins of its flawed scientific claims, he found that its pervasively religious terminology showed that it was an alternative to the Christian faith.



Born in South Africa and educated there, he has undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and physics, a master of science in geophysics,

has been an elder in the Free Church of Scotland and is now associate professor of physics at Presbyterian College, Clinton, SC.


The basis for this Crosstalk is a new book released by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.


The book, Resisting the Green Dragon, looks at the extremist worldview, ethics and theology of the "green" movement.

More specifically, its author, James A. Wanliss, Ph.D.,

uses his time on Crosstalk to expose this movement's anti-Christian spirituality

and its attempt to co-opt the church by folding its principles of conservation and "planetary salvation" into evangelicalism through leaders like Jim Wallis and Ron Sider and others.
