what would you rate our care for this planet according to Science and what we know, compared to...?

how well we are doing to care for the planet and life as God has taught us? In other words.. if Science was all we knew then we wouldn't be doing so bad in comparison to how we are doing according to what God intends life to be like. What are your thoughts? and explain, if you will, what would the climax of either lifestyles look like for Mankind?

Update:

very intriguing thoughts from all of you thank you. I could only ask for you all to elaborate further as to what you think we must do to live onward with the Earth most prosperously (for none believers), and how might we best welcome God back to His turf as if He never left and what would that look like in real time to correct our abuse to the planet and eachother (for believers)... Thank you all.

Update 2:

Morey I agree with you to an extent. I would say, to relate to a non believers point of view, that being that we are the most capable and intellegent creatures the planet has ever known (according to "science") then we are It's caretakers and can very well last a lot longer with the planet, maybe even Eternally?

Update 3:

bilbo and camelia I can't decide which one is best you both hit various points of importance but no one has really made the comparison as I asked... I'd say both of you get the credit.

    The planet will go on, but the way it is maintained will change. The human history of mismanagement of humans towards one another and toward the earth will not continue the way it has been. If you compare the structure and order of everything that God made and compare it to how people have murdered one another and polluted the earth, the answer is that God did not intend mankind to "care" for the earth like they have been. To illustrate; Suppose a builder and owner constructed a beautiful home with everything to take care of the tenants that would move in. On the day they move in they promise to care for the property. Then later these tenants, change their mind and want to do things their own way. During the time they are allowed to reside there they destroy most of the property, sell parts of it for profit, throw trash everywhere, kill most of their family members, curse the owner who built the property for them, and insist that the property was theirs to do with as they pleased and there was no such owner except for them.They were given a chance by the owner to take good care of everything but when he returns to size up the situation, he finds that they have done otherwise, and refuse to change. Now we can understand why God has a time limit to tolerate what man has been doing to one another and to the earth. He purposes to bring an end to these conditions so that those who want to live in harmony with his laws and live in peace will be able to.The Bible is a book of prophecy, so just as these horrible conditions were foretold to happen in the last days, so will the fulfillment of a cleansed earth after corruption is ended completely.

    Hi .

    Well first off it is said that God will bring those to ruin that are ruining the earth.

    As science we should be ashamed as a species,

    Turtles that live for hundreds of years are dying because of plastic bags.

    All of our buoys in our coastal waters,all the batteries get dumped right on the spot.

    Genetically altering foods to the detriment of insects that we rely on to pollinate our foods.

    Legal and illegal nuclear dumping and accidents.

    Look at Hong Kong and their water supply.

    Look at the English channel with most of the worlds water fowl feeding and migrating,and there are nuclear materials infecting the waters there.

    I see no animals doing these things.

    Humans get a( -10 )on care for our planet.

    Some try but their are not enough to make the difference.

    human beings want us have self belief the well-being care is undesirable so we are inspire to desire and alter to a central authority run gadget. between the justifications we've decrease dying age and better toddler mortality expenses is because of the fact we've 20 million peasants sneaking in from Mexico. a super type of them do not even come until eventually they are ill, or having a toddler, and that they've never had any well-being care beforehand of arriving. in case you desire to analyze "us of a" to ecu countries, you need to %. states like Vermont for assessment. We do truly properly against Europe in case you could clear out the hispanic states records, like California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, etc.

    We aren't caring for it as we should and we know it.Human greed and carelessness are the main reasons.

    The planet is fine. It's ourselves that we're not caring for.

    When we're gone, it will still be here for another 5 billion years.

    Perhaps the earth wanted us here because it wanted to have more plastic in its landfills and more CO2 in the atmosphere. It couldn't have done it without us.

    I would rate it "mostly harmless"
