Flag on the Glacier

A 21st Century Pastor Writes to a 31st Century Atheist

By: David Alley

Narrated by: David Alley

This book is a letter written a thousand years into the future…to atheists.

Future atheists have accepted that there is a God of some type. The battle between science and religion is over. In the 31st century, it is sensible to believe in God, but even so, there are other matters that are not settled. Tomorrow’s atheist has a very different and most significant matter to wrestle with. This letter anticipates that battle, and using history that hasn’t happened yet, makes an argument.

This letter to the future moves beyond the many current doomsday scenarios, and points out what many are slow to notice. There are cultural and societal trends at work changing humanity, but they are temporary and have short-term influence. These are the things which most commentators DO notice. Yet there is a monumental process bigger than those spoken of in the media, riding above or perhaps it is riding under the others. This is a slow and almost imperceptible change taking the world over, moving like a glacier. This book to future atheists is a flag planted on that big and slow glacier so that listeners in the future can measure the change, and observe what otherwise would not be easily seen.

In the meanwhile, climate change is a thing, but it also isn’t a thing. Listen to the letter and you'll see what I mean.

And Jesus isn’t coming back for a long long—long long long—time. That is what makes a letter like this possible. Otherwise what would the point of writing it be?

The books needs to be heard in a thousand years to be truly appreciated.
