Wanna help planet? ‘Let’s all just die!’
Group pushes to improve Earth’s ecosystem by ensuring human species does not survive

“There must be several million people who have arrived at the conclusion that we would be better off without humans.”

When Knight formed the movement, he had one objective in mind:

“The ultimate goal is one I will never see,” Knight said. “I will never see the day that there are no humans on the planet.”

I was just thinking about this earlier in the day. At work I often have long, lonely and uneventful hours to ponder philosophy, theology, ideology and our understanding of our own existence. Playing ‘philospher and sage’ helps the time go by more quickly sometimes.

If you don’t believe in God and Christianity, and believe we are just a random cosmic accident that is just a slighter smarter version of a lemur or howling monkey, then our subjugation and development of the earth has to be deeply disturbing. If you think that we are morally equivalent with a hamster then any polices and practices that may harm it become loathsome and offensive. The attempts to equate humans as “just” another species on this planet is the overriding philosophy of large swaths of ideologies and movements from vegetarians to the Greens to the Climate Change crowd to the animal rights movement.

In the Christian world view we are to be the caretakers and stewards of the earth (I believe this means wise and responsible use of its resources) but it’s resources, and the animals that exist upon it, were created and exist for our use. This is a significant difference of opinion and understanding of man’s place on this planet and to blissfully wish for the day when the great herds can wander the grasslands without the taint of human habitation or mere human existence is to turn the natural order upside down. To worship the Creation over the Creator, and to wish for the extinction of His most important and momentous creation, is to reverse what was intended and is a blatant attempt to deny the unique place mankind occupies in the grand scheme of things.
