In response to an article touting the discovery of water on the Moon, Russell Blinick of Encino wrote in to the Los Angeles Times:
Alas, we are taking another step in our attempt to infect all of the cosmos with the human virus. Isn't it enough that we are on the verge of destroying the Earth?
That's the way too many people on the Left look at humanity, folks. We're not just mere accidents of nature - we're a virus. We're destructive. The implication is that the universe is better off without us. This is a good reason to keep the Left from having too much power.
If there were an intergalactic police force, it would be well advised to put yellow crime tape around our planet, much like Michael Moore's action around Wall Street.
This makes the assumption that if intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, it would be less of a "virus" than we are. On what basis, I wonder, does Mr. Blinick make that assumption?
Everything I've heard about the universe from science indicates that eventually, the universe is going to die. Now, that doesn't make it okay to be irresponsible with natural resources. However, I worry much less about our environmental stewardship than I worry about our behavior in other areas. As some theologians claim, we are fallen creatures.
Thank God we have a Redeemer who makes all things new. I believe He will renew us, and renew the universe.
