First of all, as a Christian I do not believe God is going to destroy the earth. He is going to make all things new. He is going to redeem creation. If God has to destroy this earth and start over, then Satan won.

Secondly, researching the “environmentalist” movement as a whole has opened my eyes. Environmentalism, even for the “normal environmentalists,” is not simply about taking care of the planet. It is about elevating the creation above man and making it equal with God. The crowning jewel of God’s creation is man. It was for man he shed his blood. Environmentalism sees man as a problem.

Environmentalists snooker Christians into their movement with their sleight of hand interpretations of scripture. They take the stewardship mandate in Genesis and drain it of all authority to “take dominion over the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” We were meant to exploit the planet for good.

Because environmentalists do not have the same belief that God created man in his image, and have worshiped the creation rather than the creator, their movement is in opposition to God. Partnering with them would leave us unequally yoked.
