But..." What do you mean I try to do my bit...BUT? I don't happen to follow the logic of the thought that occured to you the other day, but even if it does make sense - which it might if I understood it better - is it a good thought, if it in some way diminishes your desire to 'do your bit'? “I try to do my bit. But…”

What do you mean I try to do my bit…BUT?

I don’t happen to follow the logic of the thought that occured to you the other day, but even if it does make sense - which it might if I understood it better - is it a good thought, if it in some way diminishes your desire to ‘do your bit’?

But it occurred to me the other day that God knew that the population would increase to where it is now, and as a result there would be a warming factor. Just consider - He would also know that we would need more available water, so some melting of ice-caps may not altogether be a tragedy. Also in regard to ice-caps - the creation of ozone relies on sunlight, therefore it is perfectly natural that holes occur in the the ozone layer over the poles in their winter, because they don't "see" the sun for 6 months of the year. And it is natural for glaciers to drop off into the sea, especially in summer. There was a "greenhouse" effect in the Garden of Eden [Genesis 2:5,6] and a water canopy covered the earth, which collapsed at the time of Noah.

This is not yet the case. I only score half marks so I intend to improve that this year. I worded it the way I did so we could all ask ourselves if we can say that statment about ourselves. zqudlyba, So I guess asking you to have my baby is out of the question? >>heartbroken I have realised that my post could imply that I have done all those things listed.
