Actually, it's not as much a bad attitude about creation as it is an unbiblical attitude that creation was made to revolve around us... In my 30 years w/ the National Park Service, I've met many Romans who worship the 'unknown god' (Rm 8) in nature. I love to talk to them, to learn how God has prepared soil in their hearts by blessing them with hearts that take in the beauty of what the Lord displays for them. It's our job as Christians who care about creation to affirm their appreciation of nature. We are equipped by common ground to share with them, as Paul was prepared to naturally do w/ the Romans, that the God who created it has a name they can relate to.

This is awesome message that in tragedy and in hope that in life and death Christ is working always for us to be with Him. That in a conversation in a taxi cab, in the pews of our congregation or in the middle of an amazing wilderness we can proclaim with confidence that the living Word or our Living Lord is indeed being proclaimed! How can we come to know God without questions and let us never be timid in our response to share the joy of our Lord who loves all of us indeed all of Creation!
