I won't attempt to deny that people make messes, but the assumption that those messes cause permanent 'damage' to the planet is in my opinion, unsupportable. If people were to leave the site for a few decades, evidence of that damage would likely be unobservable.

"Would you then say there is a difference between environmentalism, which is arguably a fear reaction, and ultimately selfish, and Creation care which is about love for the God who created this earth and the people affected by pollution?"

There is no connection between the two. Enviornmentalists hate God, and seek to use baseless fear to establish socialist tyranny on a global scale, solely to erradicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hello again, and thanks for your reply. I appreciate being able to discuss this sensibly despite our differences, and being able to learn.

It was perhaps unfortunate that I received it two days before the Chernobyl anniversary, so there are now reminders in our media that the area is still contaminated and still covered in radioactive dust, and that a new containment unit has to be built around the destroyed core… Mind you I’ll agree with you that there were political reasons that it happened, related to communism. Germany is committed to shutting down its last reactor in 2012.

I think I’m correct in understanding that you have no problem with Christians involved in creation care, as opposed to environmentalists. Is that correct?

Have you background information to suggest that Environmentalists want to bring in Socialism? I appreciate that some are distinctly anti-Christian, but the main anti-socialist forces in East Germany, which spearheaded the protests against the socialist government there, were the church and the environmental movement. Both consisted of people willing to die for their freedom, and faced terrific persecution. However, new information is always welcome.
