As much as being a good steward of our finances, being a good steward of all God has given to us requires believers to take care of the environment.<BR/><BR/>The thing that always gets me is how environmentalist seem to pull humanity out from the rest of creation. Here is an example:<BR/><BR/>A beaver builds a dam so he (or she) can use the water for his own purposes. If the environment below the dam starts to decline and possible even become extinct (at least in that area), it is just part of the circle of life. However, if man builds a dam and uses the water for his own purposes, well then that is somehow bad, because we should know better than to allow the muscles to die. So, if we are all just part of the great circle of life, why should man do any different than any other creature which takes care of their own needs?<BR/><BR/>To me, I see a need for balance, take care of the environment but know that it was given for our use.<BR/><BR/>As to the idea of global warming because of man, to me this smacks of the inflated view that man can sometimes have of themselves. They see themselves as gods capable of creating and destroying beyond our actual capacity. God could do more damage in a second then man has done in all his time here on the planet. God with a breath from His mouth can blow away any problems, can cool the temperatures, etc. He can also, when the time is right bring it all to an end. Man, without a belief in God, just ends up putting themselves in that position and assigns way too much power to themselves IMHO.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ynoti.com" REL="nofollow">www.ynoti.com</A>BZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803858899316293127noreply@blogger.com
