Save the earth.

This world in its deteriorating state can indeed be healed. When I say healed, I mean holistically; the planet and all it's inhabitants. But how can this world be truly healed? I mean, people keep coming up with several theories as to how this earth can be saved. Some based on science, while others are based on religion. I too would like to propose my own theory, and yes, it is based on both science and religion.

As a Christian, I know that the earth and all its inhabitants were created by God to last forever. But because of the sin of the first man, everything was corrupted. Death and fragility was introduced to a once perfect and beautifully designed world. Now, the same natural resources that are meant for our use and advancement, are what seems to be causing harm to the us and the earth upon exploitation and use. But does that mean we should stop using the exploiting and using the natural resources? I don't think so. But I think we are getting it wrong because we are trying to use the resources without acknowledging the One that put them there in the first place.

The point I made in the previous paragraph is based on something I saw in the bible that stuck with me. When the children of Israel first got into the land that God promised them, one of the directives He gave them was to farm on the land for seven years, after which they were to allow the land rest. And throughout that period they obeyed, they enjoyed prosperity and plenty, even in the time of no planting. This is what makes me believe that the damaged the earth is suffering isn't because man came, but because man disconnected from his Creator.

Now for the inhabitants of the earth, we humans especially, we started needing healing when we started becoming overly selfish. When we sought our individual benefit more that we sought for that of our community and the world at large. Now, imagine a world where everyone is looking out for the wellbeing of everyone, where we prioritize each others needs. And nobody wants to or is even thinking of causing harm to someone else. I know such a world might seem fantastical, but just imagine it. I know the world would be a better place.

In conclusion, the one way I believe the world can be healed is when we all accept that we aren't doing it all right, and that we need to reconnect totally to our creator, and let Him teach us how He intended it all to be from the onset.
