    The Lesson of the Dodo

    Reverend Rodimer posted a funny cartoon depicting a politician dismantling the Endangered Species Act. And it got me to thinking about God's plan for us on this earth and why He lets some animals and plants go extinct.

    God put animals and plants on this earth either for us to use, or to teach us how to be strong in the face of adversity.

    Deer, Cattle, Sea Turtles and the like were put here for us to eat. Minks, Chinchillas, and baby Harp Seals were created to keep those of us who can afford beautiful coats made out of their luxurious fur warm on cold winter nights.

    God made Redwood trees huge and long lived so we could cut them down and build sundecks, hot tubs, saunas, and spas out of them. If we eat all the turtles or make coats out of all the Snow Leopards, we will simply move on to the next most desirable creature.

    Mosquitos exist to vex us, and when they are not around, we praise the Lord that he did not not make more of them. The same goes for fleas, scorpions and venomous reptiles, although rattlesnakes do also taste quite a bit like chicken, so God killed two birds with one stone when he created them.

    And speaking of killing birds with stones, that brings us to the Dodo. If God wanted the Dodo Bird to still exist today, he would have made it smarter and he would have given it the ability to fly.



    The Dodo was a large, flightless relative of the ordinary pigeon that was first discovered around 1600 on Mauritius, a lovely tropical island in the Indian Ocean. Less than eight years later, they were all gone. You see, the Lord made them intensely stupid and delicious!

    Most of the birds were eaten by the hungry Christian sailors who discovered them. They were very trusting birds. If you wanted one for your dinner, all you needed was a large stick or a rock and a cooking pot. You see, when not looking for food or raising chicks, God's obedient Dodo simply stood there, waiting to be eaten.

    When so called 'scientists' try to prevent an animal from going extinct, they are altering God's perfect, holy plan. As such, they are not only wasting their time, but they are also condemning themselves to Hell.

    Re: The Lesson of the Dodo

    That's an interesting theory, PB, but if those Dodos tasted so good, the Christian sailors should have bred them for food instead of just killing them all. It reminds me of the parable of killing the goose that laid the golden egg (or, maybe you're not supposed to kill it?). You can hardly blame the dodo for not wanting to be domesticated or bred for food; in this case the sailors are at fault for their myopic view of God's Beautiful Creatures. I'm sure they were hungry, but the dodo was not a pest to be exterminated like rats or mosquitos. Even though a rowdy bunch of sailors cannot be expected to be experts in animal husbandry, it is ultimately their actions (or lack) that deprived the rest of us of a decent meal of dodo and chips.
    Ack!

      Amen and Amen! Mankind today is so arrogant, thinking he can control life on Earth and the weather in the heavens. And just like when this was tried at the tower of Babel, man's arrogance will be rebuked, and in a very humiliating way.

      If people today would just remember Ecclesiastes 3,

      1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

      2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;


      then they would cease their foolish striving. God obviously does not want all living things alive at the same time. His timetable is perfect, praise His name!

      Rather than fighting God, we should be celebrating His greatness. When another animal species goes extinct, it is just another tick on God's Holy clock, and it takes us one step closer to His glorious return and the remaking of the Earth.

      I for one celebrate the passing of each species as if fulfills it's God-appointed purpose and as He retires it. In fact I feel privileged to be alive at such an exciting time when so many passing species are becoming stories that we can tell our children and grandchildren about.

      Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

        Re: The Lesson of the Dodo

        For a new member, you are very wise Gentile David. That was exactly the point I was making. Whether it is some obscure treefrog from Madagascar or some giant Condor from California, all these things shall pass.

        It is the absolute height of secular hubris to think that the cars we drive or the coal we burn to heat our homes has the slightest effect on His holy plan. If the Lord wants the glaciers in the Alps or the Andes to melt, he must simply will it and it happens.

        God has a plan for His world, who are we to tamper in his domain? Those that attempt to do so are mocking Him with their proud and vane attempts to subvert His divinity. I actually feel a bit sorry for them, for as the feebly try to meddle, they are but damning themselves to Hell with their futile efforts to play God.
