Total agreement on the "God" issue - i.e. (God-given) human beings amazing brain capacity and the free will to put it to good use instead of making "God" responsible for our mishaps... THANKS DQ for putting it so eloquently.
The next step is to "see" God´s love (face) in all human beings even the "bad - ignorant" ones - a very difficult one indeed, when compared to seeing "All THAT IS" in a newborn babe or the night sky!
I also believe it is up to us smart human beings to constrain our use / misuse and waste of energy - being aware of global consequences. The U.S. has only recently been overtaken by the Chinese as far as global pollution is concerned..... sad but true.
