War of worldviews:


War of worldviews: the Judeo-Christian tradition vs. environmentalists

A wing of the evangelical movement, headed by Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals, is hopping on the trendy environmentalism bandwagon, and linking arms with environmentally activist groups. An evangelical church in Boise is hosting a national conference on the environment this week, and the Sierra Club is actually providing scholarships for college students to attend.

In the Judeo-Christian tradition, man worships the Creator rather than the creation: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." In environmentalism, there is no Creator to worship, and therefore man worships the Earth itself, as the goddess Gaia. Since nature itself is sacred in environmental thinking, every time man leaves his imprint on the earth, he is intruding on the divine, and every act of human development is an act of sacrilege or blasphemy.
