Florida Backyard Creation Care are a grassroots team of Christians, biologists, and concerned citizens dedicated to the defense of Florida’s vulnerable Creation. And we would like to ask for your help in preserving it: yard by yard. The following four simple things will make a big difference. Turn a piece of your yard into a little Garden of Eden! Our advice is founded on a combination of the belief that we should respect the Creation rather than destroy it, and on solid scientific research.
God’s Green Earth
The wisdom that richness of animals and plants is good is shared between the Bible and modern research.
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. Genesis 1:25
The science of relationships between living things – ecology – agrees. The more that plants and animals support one another, the more robust and beautiful the tapestry or life is. All this can live in your yard.
Scientific knowledge does not diminish awe. It adds to it.
Brother Guy J. Consolmagno, SJ; director of the Vatican Observatory
Not always greener
The moral ecology of a responsible Christian is very much the same as the ecological morality of a compassionate scientist. But despite the teaching of the Bible and ecology, we are told that THIS LAWN is what we should strive for. We have been told that artificial turf, devoid of life, is aesthetically pleasing.
