if the lord made the world for man and gave man dominion over it. as a earth we all own it as should the oil,n

Question

atural gas, ect: fact is, we as a person can buy land or a house or a business on land but we dont really own underneath the earth, that really belongs to everyone in its own nation and i think that oil or natural gas or coal, whatever it is we should all own it in our own countries we live. i`m saying we should have free utilitys and gas except for some tax sytem that would pay for the runnning of things, the cost and ect: what do you think, theres pleanty of other things companys can sell to make money. how is it only certain people can claim (goverment, rich) the resourses and still sell the land. we all really own it and it should be like a basic nesscessity free for all, that would take the pain away from most people that cant afford

Answer 1

The basis of the answer is the subject of Economics. You have limited resource(s) and everyone wants them. Now you also have people that are more powerful than others. They, by the process of survival of the fittest, take and control the oil. The same principal applies each time you walk past a homeless person on the way into a restaurant. You have a meal and they don't. So rich men have all the oil and we don't.

Answer 2

Oil and natural gas is only free, or close to free to the oil companies, some of which are foreign owned. Shell a Dutch company owns Texaco, BP a British company owns Amoco, and Citgo is a Venezuelan government owned company. So God gave the oil to mostly foreign owned oil companies. God has surely blessed the oil companies,

Answer 3

They (oil companies)fund the development, refining etc of that product, it is called capitalism. Given the track record of our government costs would skyrocket if we gave them control. Furthermore, stop complaining about it. anyone older than 18 can open a stock account buy some shares of Exxon. If you have more risk capitol invest in commodities. Everyone has the opportunity to take advantage if the high price of oil if they wanted to do so. But, that means you actually have to do something for yourself and you may have to cash in your dreams of buying 100 ringtones.

Answer 4

if when you were younger and someone said "hey, here is all the free candy you can eat, for the rest of your life" how fat would you be right now, or how long would it be before you died of a heart attack, or diabeties. besides that, we already have a tax system in place for people that cant afford things, and its called welfare.anyway, if everything like electricity, water and gas, were a free for all, we wouldnt have any left in about 10 years. supply and demand makes the world go round, we arent responsible enough to restrain ourselves from over doing it.

Answer 5

The Greek word in the oldest known text is generally translated as "stewardship," not "dominion." We are supposed to protect, not destroy.

Answer 6

You do realize that only about a fourth of the world is Christian?
