My entire point in this debate, that humans have been given all of creation as a gift and that such a gift is ours to use, RESPONSIBLY; is driven entirely by my faith.

Thus, by the logic you use here I could not even participate in this "debate". Is this what you are saying? I am not trying to be aggressive here, I just want to know if that is what you mean.

Thank you.
I understand what you are saying. You obviously have a strong faith which works for you and is great and I think that all views should be expressed in a debate. I just find it hard to accept quotes from a "book" as the basis of an argument. You see, I am not sure if I have a faith or belief and cannot get my head round being given the gift of creation. Who gave it to us? Your faith means you are convinced it was God but me.............I'm just baffled. Just because its written down and millions of people believe it to be true doesn't mean that it is - but people also believed that the world was flat until it was proved otherwise.

However, if I disappear from the face of the earth tonight I will be convinced by your point of view
