I'm a Christian but I believe the earth is millions of years old. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am not a fundamentalist Christian. I read the Bible as analogy rather than in a literal sense.

My thoughts on environmental issues are divided. One half says we should do everything we can to protect the planet for future generations. The other half thinks that, like it says in the bible, we humans are not meant to be here forever and soon our souls will be harvested from garden earth anyhow. This is why i disagree with people who say we should curb population growth by limiting how many children we have. Humanity was told to 'go forth and multiply'... no use trying to keep our race going forever with pop. controls... it's not the plan.

However, it is man's responsibility to care for our planet and animals. I do get annoyed when some people cite religous reasons for trying to 'dominate' everything.
