Re: [asa] Creation Care

Michael,
    I don't really know about the relationship between YEC views and anti-global warming views. I can only speculate that a belief that God created the world just the way it is very recently would also lead one to believe we couldn't possibly be able to change it significantly. Although YEC thought also emphasizes degradation due to the fall so you would think global warming would be a "told you so".
    What I find more intriguing is how closely the anti-global warming mentality mirrors the YEC approach. I guess various pseudo-sciences do have many characteristics in common.
    I couldn't help but chuckle while imagining what it might be like to apply the recent posts that advocate "moderates" in global warming to YEC's. The thought seemed to be to take the sensible approach by avoiding the extreme of the most dire global warming predictions and the extreme of no warming and advocating something halfway between. Maybe that would work in YEC--let's take the moderate approach and say that instead of 4.5 billion years vs 6,000 years, let's advocate the moderate value of 5 million years and we can all be happy.

  Lastly a serious question to Randy and others. How far a Calvin Beisner's views on the environment dependant on his YE views. I cant get my head round his views on wilderness for starters.
