Environmentalism: a Christian duty or pagan worship

Two major Evangelical Christian groups are at direct odds over this question. The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), Founded in 1993, and in 2005, conservative Evangelicals responded to the EEN by forming the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. Not one to mince words, the CASC national spokesperson, theologian E. Calvin Beisner, has described the environmental movement as "the greatest threat to Western civilization" because it combines "the utopian vision of Marxism, the scientific facade of secular humanism, and the religious fanaticism of jihad" into a pseudo-religion that undermines Christianity. The EEN has this to say: For us, being pro-life includes not only defending our unborn children, but also the biblical mandate to care for all life. Toxins and other pollutants foul our water, air, and soil, impacting the purity of life God intends for His creation. That's why creation care remains integral to being pro-life."

2) Does the Earth belong to God or to Humanity?
3) How should we use the Earth's resources?

Lets see...a recent study by a group elected by another group of blind pilots assigned by their aerospace company, to determine if the milk from a russian pig was able to support life on Mars says to you,
No...
The Pig said...No...
Finally even Uranus said...No.....
Case closed. Your nose wins by a landslide....guilty as charged and to be hung by noon.
