ESSAY 20
THE
"LACK OF NATURAL RESOURCES"
MYTH
The idea that we are going to run out of energy or food
in the near future is incorrect. God commanded us to
populate the world and to subdue and care for it. With His
commandment comes his enablement.
As W. C. Fields might have said,
Use your brain
it's the little things
in life that count!
We must be doing that, because land is being made more
productive through agricultural science, and livestock are
being improved and increased in number. The surface has
not been scratched for food production from the ocean.
Fuel and energy problems are being solved. Vehicles
are being produced that pollute less and are more fuel
efficient. Ten or fifteen years ago, a superinsulated house
in the U S northeast was constructed for about the same cost
as a normal frame house, and was heated one whole winter for
138 dollars!
The Maya and Inca civilizations, along with Greek and
Roman civilizations, were not destroyed because of a lack of
natural resources. They were destroyed because they exchanged
biblical truth for lies in order to devote themselves to per-
verted pleasure.
Joseph, in the book of Genesis, was considered an ex-
pendable human being by his brothers, but God gave him the
understanding to save Egypt and his brothers during a seven-
year drought.
How many of the 31 million aborted babies that we have
considered expendable may have been destined to discover
unique new sources of food and energy?
(This essay was based on the classic work of Bill
Gothard).
