Quetzal: I think my original intent with this back about a year ago was based on a heated argument I had with a fundie regarding unsustained use of both natural resources and domesticated livestock. His argument was based solely on his take that in Genesis Chapters One and Two, God gave Man unbridled reign over all other animals and vegetation to use as Man would forever.
My argument is that this fundie outlook prevails today worldwide wherever corporate greed is driven by the cavalier attitude that we can take, take, take regardless of the adverse effects our taking has on the Earth's environment. In fact, the only secular argument I encounter is "that it's cheaper" to do it the way it's being done. Like using fossil fuels that release previously naturally bound carbon into our atmosphere as gas.
But now you ask me to provide "evidence" that this fundie mentality regarding man's providence over animals and vegetation has led to ecological disruption ... well, I will have to do some research to provide links between specific resource-raping activities, the corporate entities responsible, and the particular fundementalist attitutes that corporate bosses may possess.
Before I respond, let me say, it's been a year since I initiated this thread. I had a very serious heart surgery last spring and stop posting. I've forgotten a lot of stuff I was into back then. And until today, I was not able to get my password to activate. So, you may not see much of me ... we'll see.
