This excerpt from the Creation Research Society Quarterly presents a debate between John W. Robbins and John Klotz regarding the relationship between Christianity, ecology, and socio-political systems. Robbins argues that the burgeoning "ecology movement" is a thinly veiled socialist ideology, masking its true aim of seizing control over human reproduction and production under the guise of environmental protection. He dismisses claims of an "ecology crisis," citing data to refute claims of widespread environmental catastrophe, and criticizes the movement's quasi-religious reverence for nature, contrasting it sharply with a biblical worldview that emphasizes human dominion over creation. Klotz, in response, contends that the environmental movement is not inherently political and suggests that capitalism is a more effective system for addressing environmental problems than alternatives, citing examples of Soviet environmental failures to support his position, while also acknowledging the need to balance economic growth with environmental concerns. The central conflict lies in differing interpretations of humanity's role in the natural world and the perceived compatibility of Christian theology with various political and economic systems.
