Do You Agree With This Position??

In Genesis, God grants humankind "dominion" over the earth. Therefore, as God's supreme creation, we have the right to manipulate nature to satisfy our needs and desires.

Let me just make this clear, as humans we do not have the right to mess nature for our own selfish desires. However, we continuously mess with nature anyway. Case in point, Global Warming. As humans continue to pump oil and burn fossil fuels, and the poor earth is getting hotter and hotter. If God did give us the power to manipulate nature for our own desires, it is obviously to see if we can handle the responsibility, and so far, we can’t! We see it happening, 60 degree weather in December and polar bears drowning. We say we’re going to "go green" but we’re too irresponsible and if it means our daily activities will have to change and becomes an inconvenience to us, the less likely we will do it, because we are selfish.

A point I want to get across is that people need to look beyond themselves. We are a great species and have created a lot of good along with the bad, but we really need to look at what we’re doing to the environment and look at what’s going to happen to the world in the years to come. Some people say, "I won’t be alive then!" but your kids will. Do you really want your children, or your grandchildren to live in a world where cities are underwater! Do you want to even give them a chance to live?? People need to stop being selfish, plain and simple. We need to stop putting gas into our big cars and start planting trees or something, because if we have the power to mess up nature, we have the power to fix it.
