The question remains: Does God mind that we are destroying his works?
Or do you believe that humans are God's creation and so whatever we do is going to be just fine, even global warming or nuclear war apocalypse, and that is exactly what god intended?
Can we go ahead and raise the temperature a full 10oC on average,wipe out 90% of the life forms, change the weather from stable to "continuous severe weather" , and ALL OF IT IS GODS PLAN, its the way God intends to bring the world to the next stage, new era?
God or no god, I say humans must live responsibly, and not count on a guy in the sky to make it all right. Global warming is a result of corporate excesses and unrestrained greed. Surely gods plan would be that we should learn from this mistake, from these crimes.
I can understand why this question is being sidetracked... it must be pretty uncomfortable defending global warming while pretending to honour god and all his works. Hypocracy...

Quoting
Its not funny anymore... the people most likely to deny global warming are also religious. Faith is dangerous, a direct threat to the things I personally value, like the natural sustainable biosphere. Quoting
biodiversity, population growth, and global warming can be solved by economical growth.
Loss of wilderness habitat caused by human population growth in my opinion is even worse than global warming.
But that is probably because I care more about biodiversity than whether or not a few cities near the ocean get flooded by rising sea levels.

Well hey, if humans followed His laws, we wouldn't have all these problems. But the fundamentalists have apocaliptic prophesies to fulfill and they must fulfil them as literally as possible. Destruction of the environment is in fact a very efficient way to fulfil prophecy literally. It raises the chances of natural catastrophy and political instability over simple things such as water. How else are His prophesies to be fulfilled literally without destroying the environment :P

I don't think all fundamentalists perscribe to the pre-trib denomination...I don't think anyway. Or maybe some take it more seriously than others. I know one guy who could write a book, interesting stuff, no matter how youlook at it, IMHO.
