Man, however, has abused his position on earth. He has used too much too fast, without the consideration as to where the by-products are going and to whom the effects will be dealt. The environmental ignorance we have today and have had in the past is not natural. It has been created as a result of the greed and lusts of mankind since the fall. Greed has caused the river to be polluted and the trees to be clearcut.
Money is the bottom line all too often.
Along these lines, I would like to comment on natural disasters. While it is easy for one to consider a beautiful hidden waterfall a place of perfection and goodness, it is extremely difficult to view an earthquake or tornado as such as well. After studying the inner workings of the earth now for two years, I know that nothing man can do has an effect on the tectonics of the earth. The plates that raft around on the surface of the world have been doing so far a long time, well before man has had anything to say about it. The earth as God has created it is good.
