I got this quote from the Bible from Katherine Hayhoe, Texas Tech. I did not know this. Though I have read it before, its significance does not sink in until there is a global crisis. It definitely puts the question to the Christian Right...what the heck are you doing?
Here is a great PodCast with her...Sunday Morning
Genesis 1:26-28The Message (MSG)
26-28 God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God’s nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
“Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”
