Secondly, creating wealth isn't even a concept that appears in the Bible and its references to money are by and large negative. If I was going to start with a God perspective on planet wreaking, I'd start with Rev 11:18b: "...The time has come to reward your servants, the prophets, and all your people, all who have reverence for you [God], great and small alike. The time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth." Which implies that not only is it possible to damage the earth (implying the earth isn't self-resilient), but if you do, you're defo not on God's side!<br /><br />http://oneweekwonder.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/god-loves-green.htmlSnialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339375292327879363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249983551893842827.post-22995557321638446442012-10-26T03:54:32.171+01:002012-10-26T03:54:32.171+01:00One might add that there are sizable areas whose h...One might add that there are sizable areas whose habitability has changed dramatically without significant human influence, often to the detriment of their inhabitants. Examples that immediately come to mind include the Sahara Desert and southern Greenland.
