importance of understanding the five levels of human creator relationship towards creation
Answers
We are creatures, same but different than other creatures. Our intelligence and comprehension-ability is at the top of the line. We human creatures are the only ones who can transcend body-mind, study, and comprehend the system of creation and its significance. We are the ones who have to preserve this physical world and its balance so it can sustain us and all creature in the chain of life - in a life-fulfilling way.
Additionally, humans are the only creatures who can comphrehend beyond the physical. Humans can transcend body-mind, and know who they are beyond body-mind, beyond that which does not decay. It is a learned process that is in fact the destination of all humans, but everyone does not get that liberation at the same time. Yes liberation - liberation from the innumerable rounds of births. Study with one who knows the path and the process, and the knowledge is the best way.

Answer:
In 1989 World Vision put in place a defining document we call our Core Values. In it, World Vision
outlines its basis for all its programmes and activities – including a section on stewardship. That
section states World Vision’s foundational principle for all its policies and actions regarding
environmental issues:
We are stewards of God’s creation. We care for the earth and act in ways that will restore and
protect the environment. We ensure that our development activities are ecologically sound.
We are increasingly aware of the need to fully explain, enhance and develop these statements – for
our staff, for our partners, and for the sake of the communities and families we daily work alongside.
Likewise, humanitarian and development workers around the world are growing increasingly more
aware of inevitable connections between care for human well-being and care for the natural creation.
In response, the Natural Environment and Climate Issues team of World Vision presents this
document explaining World Vision’s biblical understanding of how we relate to creation together
with a new document explaining the development theory basis for working on environmental issues,
to clarify and support World Vision’s work on environmental issues. World Vision must root its
work in solid development theory. As a Christian agency, we are also compelled to root our work in
how we understand our relationship with God’s creation.
This paper is written in the context of significant challenges the world is facing:
1. Global population is expected to reach 9 billion people by the year 2050.1
2. Climate changes are becoming increasingly destructive to the environment.
3. Roughly 1 billion people currently live in absolute poverty.2
What does this mean? Global experts predict that food production in developing countries will need
to almost double by 2050 to meet the food needs of the rising population, particularly in light of the
increasing prosperity and consumption of some population groups.3
However, do we increase food production by cutting down forests, increasing irrigation in scarce-
water contexts or depleting soil nutrients with extensive monocrops? Many well-intended efforts
bring unintended, but well-documented, consequences. And degraded environments worsen the
impacts of climate change. World Vision is already seeing the significant effects of climate change in
fragile regions on the people whom we serve. Moreover, climate change is currently affecting nearly
all food-growing regions of the world, even in prosperous nations – one example is the severe
drought challenging the main winter wheat growing areas of the United States as this document is
being written.
So, the challenges we face are not theoretical. They are immensely practical. They are affecting
people right now – in both the developing and developed world.
