Humanist Stewardship

• • Humanists views similar to Catholics on environment + future of planet
• • Most agree + see the world as a beautiful place
• • Believe more should be done to preserve habitats + species to avoid losing them + further damaging the Earth
• • See overcrowding as a threat to life on Earth - increases food, water, shelter, e.t.c demand
• • Believe resource demand = increase tension = war, threatening happiness + safety of humans
• • Support introduction of birth control (contraception) limiting population growth
• • Different to Catholics as seek to live a good life since they believe this is the only one we have
• • Plenty of evidence Earth formed by itself, through a slow process over billions of years
• • Evolution can help us to understand species relation to each other today, religious beliefs = a mystery
