“As more and more people become Christian, will that have any positive effect on the creation?”

Individually, maybe, but as a whole the trend in each of the following is downward.

Public Education
Law
Government
Public Safety
Religion
Communication
Family
The Arts
Entertainment
Health
Finance
National Security
Environment
Employment
Human Relations
Civility

1 Pet. 5:8-9, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

2Cr 4:3, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

Now you're really thinking like Gore. If the world at this minute is a little more secular than it was 20 minutes ago, should we all give up and assume 20 minutes from now it will be more secular?

ESPECIALLY given the long view which Al Gore and most dispensationalists seem incapable of taking.

Compare those categories to 2,000 years ago. To 1,000 years ago.

What is the actual downside to believing the Gospel and Christianity can change the world for the better?
