Poster, Richard, is not attempting to argue that the bible is truly infallible, or written under god's influence, or anything like that, this is another argument altogether. Instead, he questions the argument, made by many Christians (Ann Coulter), that because God has granted man dominion over the earth we are not accountable for its destruction. Personally, as an atheist, I find it encouraging that this ridiculous (and dangerous) argument can be refuted even under the working assumption that the bible is truth. I think that, at least on the environmental issue, conservatives have hijacked the Christian religion and used it to push their own separate agenda. They have done this by cherry picking biblical phrases and perverting their intended meaning. This needs to stop as it's bad for Christians and non-Christians alike. This video is a step in the right direction.
