But people worship it and they just can't let any of it go.
Look, if an animal dies off, maybe evolution's just cleaning house on the California condor.
Sorry, spotted owl. You didn't make the cut. You're dumb.
You know? I mean, it's all survival of the fittest.
I don't know. You know, the spotted owl's dying.
Let it die. Mother Nature is saying that it needs to go. It needs to go.
See ya. And it's true. We're nature.
But no, the hypocrisy is unbelievable. Everything's nature except us.
Everybody needs a habitat except us. You know, we're messing it all up.
There's a plan that God has where animals live somewhere, then people move in,
kick the animals out and build a city and live there.
And there's plenty of space for everybody and everything in this world to get along just fine.
But people say, no, no, it's such a shame when these animals are losing their habitat.
You know, man needs a habitat too, okay? Can we have a place to live, please?
And it's funny, people always say, oh, you're upsetting the cause of nature.
And then they teach that we're animals. Now, hold on a second.
If we're a species of animal, I told this to this environmentalist recently that was giving me all this environmental stuff.
I told this environmentalist, I said, well, wait a minute. I said, if we're just evolved animals,
I said, what's the difference between the high rise that we build and the beaver dam?
You know, he's built himself. He builds a beaver dam. We build Hoover Dam.
You know what I mean? What's the difference? We are nature.
If we're animals, we're nature. We're part of nature. We're part of the ecosystem.
Oh, but you guys are just out of control. Well, I thought evolution fixes all that.
It's funny how for billions and billions of years, supposedly evolution has been keeping this perfect balance
where it's just automatically self-correcting survival of the fittest.
And then all of a sudden, whoops, you know, Mother Nature is asleep at the wheel
and let man just get out of control and take over the whole world.
But that's what God's plan was. They have dominion over it.
And he said in Isaiah chapter 40 that he formed it to be inhabited.
God created this world for mankind to inhabit. He said have dominion over the fish.
Have dominion over the birds. Have dominion over the creatures.
And guess what? The animals that we use the most are the ones that will never go extinct.
Do you think chickens are on the endangered species list? Think about it.
The best way to keep an animal around is to start killing and eating it.
I mean, cows. Are cows endangered? Are pigs endangered? No.
Oh, but there's this special lizard that we're never going to see again. So what?
I love what he says at the end of verse 6. Oh, Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
You know, in a day where it's all about the wildlife preserve.
We've got to preserve this animal and we've got to preserve the saguaro.
And we've got to preserve all these endangered species, but wait a minute.
God preserves man and beast.
Say, but Pastor Anderson, the animals of God extinct.
You know what? Jesus Christ came back one day and said I'm going to make all things new.
He'll make another saber tooth tiger and wooly mammoth.
He'll make a new one. He'll make a California condor. You don't have to worry about it.
