Letter to the editor: Worship God, not creation

Notes: "I would like to offer an alternate view to the current Chicken Little attitude toward climate change, promoted by the new religion of environmentalism. Human beings are not an alien species dropped off here from another planet. We are part of the ecology, and like any other species, have a right to use our environment to meet our needs. In the Bible, God set us apart from other animals and gave us stewardship of the earth. We do not reverence it and worship it, as that is idolatry; we make use of it, as God's blessing to us. While no one would advocate fouling one's own nest, it is vain and arrogant to think that our puny species can destroy the entire planet". "The earth is not my mother; Christians worship the Father Creator, not the creation. I trust in God, not in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change".
