More than science?

SCIENCE has its own explanations for the geological mayhem at the nation’s favourite food bowl of Hela.
I do hear of stories by the elderlies of severe landslides, longer periods of dry spells completely drying up once wide-flowing rivers and devastating floods causing havoc on people and properties in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
The 7.5 magnitude earthquake felt on Monday last week was the first of its kind in the region.
The economic costs attached to the destructions will potential be huge when taking into consideration its long-term effects on investments. The Prime Minister says the economy will be hard-hit by the closure of the PNG LNG Project in Hela.
The Port Moresby Geological Observatory predicts more aftershocks, saying the earthquake was the largest in the region since 1922.
PNG is predominantly a Christian nation and the God we claim to serve is the same ancient God of Jacob, later named Israel.
Riding on the pretext of its foreign policy of “Friends to All, Enemy to None” the government has compromised the future of this nation when the decision was taken at the United Nations to vote against the United States’ decision to recognise the city of Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.
I think the worse is yet to come, and before it does the government needs to go on sackcloth, bath with ashes and fast for days with a repenting heart on behalf of the millions of god-fearing people of this country.
