I won't judge you or your comment but I have to say as a rationalist(?) and atheist, it seems very odd to suggest the natural world would be a kind place if we were less destructive to it. By kind I mean non-infectious, non-aggressive, non-carnivorous etc. (as I read you anyway)
Another way, I don't see that the lion would lie down with the lamb in any circumstances. I don't dispute that we're destroying the world, just questioning that in the absence of said destruction we would be in an eden where they, lion and lamb, would.
Curious for your response, if any.
- marcinreal 4y agoThe Bible does say we were supposed to live in an idyllic garden, Eden, before Adam's first sin. All the animals were tame, and will be tame again. Now I tend to take the Bible literally, but the important thing is that this story indicates how desperately fallen we are. It points to our need for a savior, Jesus -- who is God, because only God could get the job done.
