This exchange concerns a response by one of my YEC friends
to reading an
ASA journal article advocating that Christians take a bigger role in caring
for the environment. His attitude is classic YEC. I jotted a quick response,
but thought that I would ask the list to comment on the issues raised.

Hi, John.
What I think the writer did was to take seriously Gen.
1:26-28 and Gen .
2:15.
These verses speak of Man's responsibility for creation .
Stewardship of
creation seems to ` be among the the very first tasks that God gave to Man.
It behooves us to take it s seriously.It involves far more than polishing
brass. God loves His creation(Jn 3:16) and has a vision for the entire
cosmos (Col . 1:15-20).I would say that at least we should m make sure that
we don't muck up His creation.In short, we have to do it all- both proclaim
t the gospel AND take care of His Creation. We tend to
remember the first,
and foget the second.

Shuan, et.al,
I've included others in the responce so that they have the opportunity
to read some pseudo-christian "nice think", if they choose to.
This writer seems to have missed a few pertinent verses, and worse - the
basic reason of why Jesus came. The Fall fouled the creation (earth &
universe) up so utterly that God is going to destroy it all, and start over.
While there is temporal interest in doing the least damage to the
bio-sphere, God is more intersted in eternal things - like human souls. On a
sinking ship it is wiser to help passengers into life boats, than to polish
brass.
What have we done lately to extend His dominion, and glory among the
world (i.e. the humans, not the space shuttle we ride) that HE so loves?
The question at the judgement won't have anything to do with creation.
It will be, "AreYOU in My Son?"
- John
