BibleNewsProphecy: Air Pollution, Autism, and Prophecy
The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce our latest video on our Bible New Prophecy YouTube channel.
10:28 How serious do world health officials say the problem of air pollution is? Have scientists found a connection between toxins associated with some air pollution and autism? Is there a connection between neurotoxins and brain development? Can air pollution cross oceans? What role did God create for humans in Genesis? How should Christians handle the issues of pollution and waste? Will humankind destroy all flesh from the planet? Will God come and destroy those that destroy the Earth?
Our latest BNP video is titled: Air Pollution, Autism, and Prophecy.
After producing the above video, the following was in the news:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report Thursday that shows a sharp increase in the rate of autism among children.
“One in 68 children has autism, and just perspective, that’s a huge jump because it used to be one in 88. That was the figure from two years ago.” (Via CNN)
The CDC report has some interesting data about how autism affects certain demographics. Boys are about five times more likely to be diagnosed than girls. One in 42 boys were diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, compared to only 1 in 182 girls. The number of children identified ranged widely from 1 in 175 in parts of Alabama to 1 in 45 in areas of New Jersey.
USA Today notes, “That means virtually every grade in every elementary school has at least one child with autism — a seemingly astonishing rise for a condition that was nearly unheard of a generation ago.” http://www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/health/cdc-autism-rate-increases-30-percent-between-2008-/nfM3B/
Toxic chemicals and improper assumptions about children are causing many problems.
