Science, Creation & EvolutionChristianity caused environmental degradtaion?I would definately agree with you. The position advocated by some of my professers however is that as Christians believe we were forced out of Eden we had to rely on technological advanments to survive. And we moved with fervor to overcome with no belief that the circumstances in Eden are possible to go back to. (Living with nature is longer natural) The professor in mind often points to the works of Daniel Quinn's novel Ishmael saying that the story of Cain and Able had been misinterpreted by Christains and was actually a metaphorical story of the move from hunter-gathers or leavers to civillization or takers. We believed that we were superior to animals and that we could not live with animals and so we induced western culture. |
