Eco-fanatics mocked by God in the Gulf of Mexico
Environmentalism is a sub-adolescent ideology at war with science. It is also a gross expression of idolatry.
But God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, is not mocked, and He has made a fool of extremists who have been in a panic over the recent Gulf oil spill. How so? The story is below… By focusing people’s attention on how the world He created works, and how the nature of the creation, buttressed by technology developed by innovative men created in the image of God, is resolving the oil spill much more quickly than many people expected.
If you have a Biblical worldview when it comes to the created order, you would have expected an outcome like this. If you have any scientific knowledge or expertise, you would have been strengthened in such convictions.
Eco-extremists now must look around for new angles to make gains for their state-ist, nature-worshipping ideology. What is Barak Exploit-a-Crisis Obama going to do now?
Christians should use this opportunity to learn more about science and to use this context and the facts as sledgehammers to pulverize Environmentalism, exposing the inherent irrationality and anti-scientific nature of this godless religion. Governors of Gulf States issued a call to prayer some weeks ago. Atheists take note. Christianity is the religion of optimism and cultural development. Humanism and pantheism, the twin religious foundations of Environmentalism, lead to death and decline.

BP Oil Spill: Clean-Up Crews Can’t Find Crude in the Gulf: As Size of Slick Shrinks, Experts Say Oil is Breaking Up, Staying Below Surface
By Jeffrey Kofman
For 86 days, oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from BP’s damaged well, dumping some 200 million gallons of crude into sensitive ecosystems. BP and the federal government have amassed an army to clean the oil up, but there’s one problem – they’re having trouble finding it. The leak is capped and the spill appears to be shrinking, but where is it going? At its peak last month, the oil slick was the size of Kansas, but it has been rapidly shrinking, now down to the size of New Hampshire. Today, ABC News surveyed a marsh area and found none, and even on a flight out to the rig site Sunday with the Coast Guard, there was no oil to be seen.
“That oil is somewhere. It didn’t just disappear,” said Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser. Salvador Cepriano is one of the men searching for crude. Cepriano, a shrimper, has been laying out boom with his boat, but he’s found that there’s no oil to catch. “I think it is underneath the water. It’s in between the bottom and the top of the water,” Cepriano said. Even the federal government admits that locating the oil has become a problem. “It is becoming a very elusive bunch of oil for us to find,” said National Incident Cmdr. Thad Allen.
The numbers don’t lie: two weeks ago, skimmers picked up about 25,000 barrels of oily water. Last Thursday, they gathered just 200 barrels.
