Janice -

Could you please explain (i.e., actually explain, not just give a link to some one else's views or a smart alec remark) how saying that human activity has had a particular effect on the environment cuts God down to human level? Does divine sovereignty mean that God always keeps our actions from having deleterious effects?

& note that these questions are quite independent of whether or not the above claim about the Gulf is correct, or what my views on the matter are. & please spare us any rhetoric about fascism &c.
