I just thought this quote from Chuck Colson Breakpoint article this morning was choice.
In contrast to the Christian idea of stewardship, which “wishes to conserve and protect the natural resources of the planet for the sake of future generations,” this viewpoint “wishes to eliminate future generations for the sake of the planet.”
It illustrates the contrast between naturalism run amok and good sense stewardship, between seeing man as created in God's image and charged with caring for all of creation vs. man as merely another part of nature to be controlled. Francis Schaeffer was all for preservation of the environment (Pollution and the Death of Man). But he clearly did not see humans as a disease to be eradicated for the sake of the environment. Another reason why a Christian voice in issues of public policy is a necessity.
