In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

-Genesis 1:1

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.“ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

-Genesis 1:26-28

God created the world in six days and made man on the seventh day.

When God made man, he gave man the right to dominate all creatures in the world.

1. Creation

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

-Genesis 1:29-30

Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

-Genesis 9:3

God gave us animals and green plants for food.

4. Consummation

4. Consummation

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of the God.

-Romans 8:19-21

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wildness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

-Isaiah 35:1-2

4. Consummation

5. Open question

1. We sometimes think we can use the environment whatever we want, because God give us the rights to dominate the world. This thoughts cause the environmental pollution. How do we interpret dominion from God? And how do we use that right?

2. Population growth causes food shortage and resources depletion.

Also the bigger the number of people is, the more amount of waste

grows. How think about population control?

Thank you
