Man has been given dominion over the earth, but in the end it belongs to God and nobody else. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201&version=NIV 2009-07-20T14:02:31-05:00 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The Bible begins with this account of God's creation of earth and its inhabitants. Christians debate and discuss the means by which God created the earth, but what this passage makes explicitly clear is that it was God who did it.
