Earth Care Has Moral Underpinnings

While I have been critical of "environmentalists" I truly do believe we're called to be stewards of God's creation. (Thanks to Kevin to sharpening that.) It's fair to be concerned about approaches and priorities, and think critically and carefully. It's also appropriate to stay very humble about our understanding of the complex systems involved.

I find it interesting to talk about these issues with not-yet-believers who claim to be athiests and Darwinians. As Greg Koukl points out, their passion for Earth care has moral underpinnings. There is no Darwinian logic to it. My observation is that for many of these acquaintances, environmental priorities are idols. People are wired for worship, and their understanding of the environmental movement becomes a false god.
