From a Biblical perspective, the first job given to man was to be a caretaker in the Garden. Creation displays the glory of God, and to treat His creation carelessly insults the Creator.

A theological argument to be sure, but still a very strong one reason not to ban DDT.

The carelessness of the enviromentalists (Witness the recent Progessive government of the USSR and the resulting enviromental catastrophies) is an affront to everything God has created.

[Chanticleer]

I am not making a theological argument in support of a ban on DDT. Frankly, from what I've read, the ban was most likely a mistake. I just don't think we should throw the baby out with the bath water. Get rid of the junk science and secular de-humanist philosophy that plagues the environmental movement in this country, but strive to be good stewards of our land.
