The Bibles Book of Genesis, Chapter I, Verse 27-28, " And God created man to his own image, to the image of God he created him. Male and female he created them. And God blessed them saying increase and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fishes of the sea and the fowls of the air and all creatures that move upon the earth".
Indeed. And man did do these things. But so effectively was mans zeal that 80% of ocean fish stocks have disappeared. Certain U.S. domestic bird populations have plummeted a similar 80%. And creatures that move upon the earth have lost their habitat, have been killed off for fun , have been run over in haste, have been poisoned by mercury from mans fossil fuel addiction, ad nauseum.
Genesis, Chapter I, verse 31, further states, " And God saw all the things that he had made and they were very good". Oh really. How about Three Gorges Dam becoming the worlds largest cesspool? How about the slaughter of dolphins and whales in Japan? How about pollution being created by the hand of God?
Personally I want peace with nature and I want the other creatures to have peace also. It wasn't only people of the Book that followed Gods counseling and polluted the earth but they did make pollution part of their religion. People of the Book should read other books.
