God, Creation, and You (pp. 78–79)
Discussion Questions
- God gave Adam dominion over His creation (Genesis 1:28). How should we apply the ‘dominion mandate’ to our lives today?
- Define ‘pantheism.’ How is this different from the Biblical view of God?
- Even more important than caring for the Earth itself is caring for the eternal lives of those who live on the Earth. How are you involved in sharing the good news of the Creator who became our Savior with those around you?

Answer Key
Observing the Weather (pp. 74–77)
- See glossary.
God, Creation, and You (pp. 78–79)
- We have the responsibility of caring for the Earth, as far as it is possible for us to do so, by cleaning up pollution or litter, etc. See also Creation and Conservation and Environmentalism Q&A.
- Pantheism is the belief that everything is God. The Bible teaches that God and His Creation are distinct (Genesis 1, John 1:1-3), and that the essence of idolatry is giving worship to created things instead of the Creator (Exodus 20:4-6, Romans 1:23,25).
