Perhaps we read the account of Creation in Genesis today with new eyes. We can thank God for the absolutely wonderful environment which He prepared for us - not in six days - but over a period of millions, if not billions, of years. Our ancestors seem to have had a much greater understanding of Nature and of their intimate relationship with it. In recent centuries with the explosion of scientific knowledge we have become more and more masters of our environment but in the process have brought about its serious deterioration which threatens our very existence. Today, hopefully not too late, we have become aware that we are not masters but stewards. Made in the image of our Creator, we have to deal with our environment in a deep attitude of care and responsibility - whether we speak of other people (especially those deprived in any way), the animal and plant world and all else as well. We are not masters but servants who give and receive life from all that is around us.
