i will admit that i am an environmentalist. i believe that God, the Creator of this magnificent universe, has entrusted us with the care of the earth He created. we do much to pollute and destroy it, thinking that we can strip it of all that it is worth. this is irresponsible. instead, i think that we are called to tread lightly and do what we can to protect this gift that God has given to us. we need to work towards more sustainable living, not taking more than the earth can give and replanting what has been taken. this is not only an issue of environmental morality, but it is an issue of human morality, as we have created situations where people in certain areas have nothing to live on due to the stripping of resources. let us remember that we have been called to participate with God in what He is doing in this world through Jesus Christ, the Word through whom the creation came into being, and I think part of this work is the redeeming of creation.
with that being said, however, i wanted to share an article with all of you. it was written by the founder of the weather channel, john coleman. this article brings into question a recent belief that has been wildly popular and is driving political agenda; further, it is one that i believed to be correct. i will let all of you make up your minds about this article, though. regardless of its truth or fiction, i do not think it relieves us of our responsibility to take care of our corner of the world.
cheers,
