I would have to agree on the articles main issue with creation care proponents and those who side with the apocalypse/end of the world theory. This has been an ongoing debate, since creation care, although biblically founded, tends to side with a kingdom on earth approach, which goes against the belief of the end of the world. This is not only a debate on care of the earth, but on if evangelicals, or christians in general, believe what the bible states about the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteGod gave us the responsibility to take care of the creation. We also have a responsibility to take care of each other. Being good stewards of God's creation involves finding balance between the two. We need oil to live in today's world. But we need to acquire it safely.
ReplyDeleteIf we look at the surface issue, which is the oil problem, I agree. But there are some deep rooted issues in how we have come to rely. Yes, it is a necessity. We cannot do much without it.
ReplyDeleteYet we have grown all too comfortable to look at why we rely, if it is necessary, and what changes can we make to help the earth as well as ourselves and future generations.
There doesn't seem to be many alternatives to oil currently available. More resources need to be committed to developing alternatives to oil. Hopefully that will come. Peace.
