The logical conclusion of your statements is that you think that anyone who believes in the Christian God is insane, and anyone who believes in the Bible's literal truth wants to destroy the environment. There are many who would argue both those points.<BR/><BR/>But beside that, on the subject of the spotted owls. Personally, I'd like to see them hang around for a while, they are pretty. However, from an evolutionary point of view, extinctions happen all the time - a result of changing climates and ecosystems, evolutionary niches being invaded by other animals, etc. This is the order of life. Why get up in arms about an extinction? If they can't adapt, they die - this is the law of evolution. Less adaptable species make way for more adaptable.
