'Do We Want to Destroy the Creation?' (http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=1594019&page=1)
Science and Religion in a New Alliance on Global Warming (Darwin Irrelevant)
Feb. 8, 2006 — "The question is, do we want to destroy the Creation — with a capital C [as in the Bible's Creation story] — because that's what we're doing, and at an accelerating rate."
The speaker was not one of the evangelical leaders at today's news conference in Washington announcing a major initiative to fight global warming.
The speaker was one of America's preeminent scientists, Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson, who believes that "an alliance of science and religion" over questions of global warming and of the destruction of species can be a powerful force to prevent the catastrophe.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe Darwin got it right or that the Genesis story is literally true," Wilson said in his office on campus. "We can all agree that, however it got here, the living creation — on which we all depend for our existence — is something we don't want to see destroyed."
New environmental movements among conservative Christians suggest Wilson is right. One of them is named "Creation Care."

This is great. Im all for it. But its just one small compromise among many that are supremely hypocritical that I think they could [should] make.
