I mean, we'd be wasting what God made for us 6000 years ago, right? It shows we aren't very good stewards of His creation....
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – More than 800 animal and plant species have gone extinct in the past five centuries with nearly 17,000 now threatened with extinction, the International Union for Conservation of Nature reported on Thursday.In fact, I'd assume if God gets really pissed we should watch out for plagues of locusts to Canada and droughts to California and that kind of stuff....
A detailed analysis of these numbers indicates the international community will fail to meet its 2010 goal of bolstering biodiversity -- maintaining a variety of life forms -- a commitment made by most governments in 2002.
Based on data released in 2008 in the union's Red List, the new IUCN analysis is being released now to precede the 2010 target year and to draw a connection between crises in the financial and environmental realms, said report editor Jean-Christophe Vie.
"We don't want to make a choice between nature and the economy; we just want to bring nature to the same level when you have to take a decision," Vie said by telephone from Switzerland.

Why keep picking on California, though? Is it our fault?
We would have San Andreas as our patron saint...
I don't know, it sounds like something we'd have to sacrifice victims to, like throwing people into volcanos ever really propitiated it.
Oooh, but San Andreas is our fault. ):-)
Kinda hard to sacrifice virgins to a fault line... they just lie there on the dirt waiting for a temblor....
That sounds interesting, actually.
LOL!!
