LIVING CREATURES IN DECLINE

The world has lasted millions of years with the evolution of plants and creatures. Animals declined in certain ages, the most famous being the dinosaurs and mammoths. 

But never before has there been the systematic extinction of living creatures as we witness in the present industrial era.

The world is in competition between the human race and all living plants and animals.

The Bible says the human race has dominion over the birds and beasts. That has been taken as the right to kill all living creatures.

We even have a dentist who recently killed a lion as a great white hunter. A tame lion was murdered by a relic of the colonial era.

Even the lions and tigers only kill the herbivores that are needed for food. The human race kills for sport and profit.

The fish in the sea are being harvested like wheat in a field. The time will come within the next century when fish are gone. That includes whales, tuna, dolphins and plankton.

Papua New Guinea Government plans more fish canneries to process the yellow fin tuna that come to breed in the waters off the nutrient rich Ramu and Sepik Rivers.

The tuna are being harvested. The full sized tuna can live for 120 years but their lives are cut short by long line fishermen. Baby tuna are sold in the Papua New Guinea markets, having not lived past 12 months.

BBC reports that the living creatures of the world have dropped in numbers by 50% in the last 45 years. What will happen in another half century?

Another report once pointed out that there are more people living in the world today than have ever lived on the planet. That is mind boggling.

With the massive increase in population to come, there is the need for more land to be taken and cultivated. There will come a time when there is no land for animals.

The only wild animals will be in zoos. Many will be killed to maintain the diversity of DNA of the species.

Virgin land has been the feeding grounds for wild animals that are now killed for eating human beings, domestic animals and crops under cultivation. The seas are becoming acid.

Animals are starving. But they cannot encroach on human beings who have dominion over all birds and beasts. We read that in Scripture.

The world faces global warming that is being pushed along by burning of fossil fuels. For all the conservationist rhetoric, that will not change. The Australian economy depends on sale of coal to China.

We read in the weekend media about pollution and death of millions from the cooking fires in India and China. It is not just industrial pollution that is damaging the atmosphere but millions of families cooking meals.

It brings back the prophecy in the story of Superman. The planet of Krypton was heating up but the people did nothing but argue until the final explosion.

Lucky for truth, justice and the American Way, young superman was put into a space ship and sent off to spend life on earth before his planet and parents were obliterated.

He became mild mannered reporter Clark Kent on the newspaper the Daily Planet.

The world ecosystem is being slowly destroyed. Lands and rivers are over-exploited and polluted. Seas are warming and becoming acid. Arable land of China is becoming acid which is a disaster for the people.

The food chain is being spoiled. The earth will cease to sustain the inhabitants within the next century.
