"The whole person is in God’s image. Because of this expression of God within us, men and women are in a sense God’s representatives upon earth. He has appointed us rulers over the earthly creation, if you continue reading Gen 1:24-28 it highlights this that we are to continue creating and subduing the earth, just like He is God of with all of His creation"
I find this such an appalling, arrogant, self serving, false and destructive attitude that coming from you I suspect it must be a trap to entice MrG into some sort of "gotcha" moment.
Otherwise if that is your evaluation of how well "28 God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it." is going, then clearly you don't see the results of such a misguided attitude.
