The following are real quotes from Americans about the state of the planet and whether we ought to be doing something about it. It's worth pointing out that I don't agree with the authors of these - often jaw-dropping - views: *************************** The ecological shape the world is in is proof that the prophecies in the Bible are real. *************************** What if this is God's way to make it better for us during these troubling times? With the ice melting in the North, it opens up vast amounts of oil that can be used to warm MILLIONS of people! What about the northern parts of America getting warmer? They will be able to harvest far more crops, and to plant crops that they were unable to do so before which will feed even MORE people. ************************** You see, God is in control. He knows the future and He knows what we are going to need to survive. So please do not fall for the man-made global warming worship trap. Yes we should pick up after ourselves, and we should care for our planet... but not at the cost of human lives. Humans are far more important then a dolphin in the sea, or a polar bear having fun on a floating iceberg. ************************** If we try to 'fix' the climate, we will only end up destroying it. ************************* World hunger is because of lack of belief in Christ and proof that Christs word is correct. ************************* Christianity is not here to prevent world hunger. It is to teach us to be happy hungry . persecuted or in any circumstance. *********************** Oil being fluid makes it more likely to have been made quickly like in a juicer because of analagy to other elements in nature. ********************* last night they also had a program on by Al Gore.....stating that all these weather changes is just global warming and has nothing to do with as he quoted it "the book of Revelations." This supposedly highly educated man doesn't even know it's the BOOK OF REVELATION!!!!!!! Oh I'm so angry I could scream!!!! ************************** I think the idea that coal and oil formed gradually is without any support whatsoever ... Totally implausible to me. I think it is much more likely that it was all formed in a single catastrophe ... The Global Flood. ********************** The earth's core MAKES oil, we are not going to run out. ********************* The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view.
