Neil, at 4Simpsons has pointed me to this article  by Gregory Koukl, who seems to feel very clever when he strings creationist cannards together with smug pontifications about "Darwinists".  Quotes from the article are in italics.  My comments are bolded.

Has anyone else but me noticed an inherent contradiction in the underlying convictions that drive annual “Earth Day” celebrations?  The vast majority of those who attend such fetes are Darwinists who believe humans have a moral obligation to protect the environment.  My question is:  Why?

No, you are not the only one who has ever “noticed” this (and by “noticed”, I assume you mean “made up out of whole cloth from smug, biased delusions in your own brain”.)

1)     Who are these “Darwinisits” of which you speak?  I haven’t ever heard of a PhD. in “Darwinism”.  I’ve never heard of someone being a “Fellow in Advanced Darwin Studies at such-and-so university”.  Local communities don’t have “Darwin clubs”.  You and your Bible idolatry crowd of bobbleheads made it up.  How can “the vast majority of those who attend such fetes” be something that only exists in your demented little minds?

2)    If there WERE such a thing as “Dawinists”, there would hardly be enough of them to gather in one place and call it a “fete”.  Even if it involved a punch bowl and finger sandwitches.  Darwin was important, but science has moved on.

For millions of years “Mother Nature” has spewed noxious fumes and poisonous gasses into the atmosphere and littered the landscape with ash and lava without our help. 

Silly me, here I thought God did it because he hoped to nail a couple of homosexuals with each natural disaster, and didn’t mind getting a few innocents just to keep the rest of us on our toes wondering what THEY did wrong and how to avoid it.

Also, it weirds me out that you are supposedly a Christian, but spend the whole article talking about Gaia.  It's kind of like when I was watching that children's show, "Thomas the Tank Engine" and I found out that George Carlin was Mr. Conductor.  It's just not OK.  Stop it.

She's killed species we never saw and heated and cooled the earth solo.  Indeed, the most “natural” condition in the universe is death.  As far as we know, Earth is completely unique; death reigns everywhere else.

Leave it to a fundy to see it that way.  Some people choose to focus on life.  All jocks think about is sports, all nerds think about is sex, and all fundies think about is death.  For every life in the universe, there is a death.  That things live is wonderful and we should be grateful.  That things die is the price of the lives of those that come after.

I am glad it is so, because I believe that I live in a wonderful world, and I am grateful for every moment I spend in it, and through that gratitude I desire to preserve what is good and improve what I can.

You can’t understand that, and you think that makes ME deficient?

Species have passed into extinction at a steady rate from the beginning of time, the strong supplanting the weak.  Why shouldn’t they?  Each is in a struggle-to-the-death for survival.  It is a dance of destruction that fuels the evolutionary process as every creature exploits every other creature for its own benefit.  Survival of the fittest - that’s evolution.

Natural processes have no moral component.  Humans evolved to the point where they have the ability to make conscious choices about their actions.  Due to this, they have the ethical responsibility to make good choices or pay the natural consequences.

Velocoraptors had no moral responsibility because they had no choice but to do what they did.  People have responsibility because they can make choices.

You can’t understand that, and you think that makes ME deficient?

No locust swarm stops short of denuding a field because it ought to “leave a bit for the crickets.  After all, they all have a right to be here.”  The logic of naturalism and the rules of evolution dictate human beings rape our environment, just as everything else does, not protect it.

I think I’ll let Ann Coulter, religionist fascist cocktail waitress extraordinaire take this one:

Ann Coulter: I take the biblical idea. God gave us the earth.
Democratic Strategist Peter Fenn: Oh, OK.
Coulter: We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees.
Fenn: This is a great idea.
Coulter: God says, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours."
Fenn: Terrific. We're Americans, so we should consume as much of the earth's resources...
Coulter: Yes! Yes.
Fenn: ... as fast as we possibly can.
Coulter: As opposed to living like the Indians.

Any question?  I’ve got more, but they make me want to cry.

The moral obligations underpinning Earth Day simply do not follow from the naturalistic world view that embraces Darwinism. 

Now, I am for conservation and stewardship of the Earth.  But that follows, rather, from a theistic world view in which God has created man as unique and given him responsibility over the Earth to care for it.  Earth Day makes sense for Christians, not for Darwinists.

You know what?  I hope Jesus DOES come and yank you up into the clouds.  Since HE is responsible for you, HE should have to listen to your smug, thoughtless, sanctimonious, bigoted twaddle.  It isn’t justice that you have to be inflicted upon the rest of us.

I hope he remembers to provide you with a hyperbaric chamber, though.  I’m not vicious or anything.
