Generous

Wo, it’s post-o-rama tonight.  Anyway.  Colin Powell said something really cool in regards to Earth Day on Tuesday:

In today’s globalizing world it has never been more true that the well-being of the American people depends on the well being of all others on the globe.  And whether we live in countries large or small, developed or developing, all of our futures fundamentally depend upon the well being of our shared habitat: This wonderful planet that has been entrusted to our care by a generous God.

Not that I’m an environmentalist by any means, nor that I think Earth Day is cool, but it’s encouraging to see someone in a position of power credit the Creator with creation.  You know, rather than endorsing the religion of evolution / the big bang, which says there was nothing, and then it exploded, and that created the planets, and life too.  Sure, all the evidence (and our best attempts at it) show that you can’t just make non-living matter come alive.  But perhaps if we invent a "fossil record" where the ages of the fossils prove the ages of the rocks, and naturally the ages of the rocks prove the ages of the fossils... and perhaps if we convince people that these ages add up to millions of years... perhaps then people will understand that although physically impossible, things can come alive given enough time.

Right.
