This revolution created an entirely new way of looking at nature. Nature was viewed as controlled by God. Ecology is a secular perspective based on rational scientific reasoning, and is subject to empirical verification. A Biblical View a. Christian thinking suggests God created everything. Human domination of the earth is seen as an anthropocentric value.
Humans are the central focus of the entire universe.
All other forms of life are on earth to benefit humans. Uniformitarianism is another view of the environment. It states that everything in and about the earth stems from acts of God during a finite period of time. This disregards the natural process of evolution. Nature is fixed from the beginning.
