Oil in this setting is safe to extract and put it to good use solving problems for people.

God put things in this world to help us.   He told us to "subdue it."

Animals:  to use their fur, to eat the meat, to reflect on His generosity and creativity.

Minerals: to put to get good use, solving problems for people....powering invention, making MRI machines, making phones so people can talk to each other.

We need to stop this "stop moving and don't disturb a thing" sort of NCR mantra.

We need to learn how to use resources very resourcefully, without wasting anything, taking prudent (but not maniacal) precautions, paying great attention to things, literally in conversation with God as we make purchases and use material items.

Reading these "don't breath" articles in NCR is a bit irksome - the articles lack faith in the "good God."

They simply hop up fear.  How many "there's so much to fear...here's something new to fear and fret over" articles do we see each week?
