Is This for Real?

Specious Species Speculation

I find myself failing to understand why environmentalists are so concerned about the extinction of one particular species or another.  My reason is because this position conflicts with their own core philosophy.  Most of these people are evolutionists.  They believe in Darwinism.  They believe in “natural selection”.  They believe in “survival of the fittest”.  So why then do they fight what according to their core philosophy is a completely futile fight?  This is a paradox.  This is hypocritical.  If they truly believe what they say and say what they believe as far as evolution is concerned, then they should shut up and let nature take it’s course.  Why try to save something that isn’t fit to survive?  It’s a waste of time and resources that could be spent on things that are going to stick around.  The factis that most the the species that have gone extinct have done so without our help through natural not man-made changes in the global environment.

The truth is that this contradictory situation comes from the blending of two reprobate religions: Humanism and Environmentalism.  Humanism says that man is the center of all things, that is, humans are gods unto themselves.  Environmentalism says that nature is the center of all things and demands that we bow at the alter of the mother earth collective.

I would argue that if there truly is no God and therefore no afterlife, who cares?  Why should we care?  If there is nothing more to this life than the product of random chance of aligned chemicals over billions of years, then what’s the point any system of morality?  What is the point of caring about anything more than our good pleasure in the here and now?  “Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die!”  How could we even have the capacity to care about anything or concieve of morality if there is no God and we are nothing more than evolved beasts?  (Another contradiction that I will get in to in another article.)

The truth is plain and comes to us from the source of all truth:

Gen. 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

We are not God, He is.  Nature is not a god, He created nature, and it is arrogant to say that we are going to save a species or save the planet.

Get a grip on reality.  Get a grip on the true nature of nature as designed by our Creator.
