might foretell? After all he/she did create it for us to live on, and is a higher being. We are living according to his/her timeline, and he/she has proven that he can resurrect life through Jesus Christ. So shouldn't we have enough faith to realize that he/she can take care of this planet and us no matter what?

Listen Hil, you are making so many assumptions in your question! If a person believed all the religious stuff you mention in your question (which I do not) then my answer to you would be this:
Certainly a God like the one you believe in has the power to take care of the planet, but that doesn't mean He/She will. Humans are destroying Earth and most of the destruction comes from carelessness, overindulgence, and greed - these aren't things that God is supposed to be too cool with - that's not very Christian.
But the truth is that regardless of whether or not God or the Creator of the universe can save the planet - WE CAN. I don't know what you mean by "destruction science might fortell" but it is a statement that leads me to believe you might be misinformed. Science is one of the amazing things that can help us save the planet ourselves! That and common sense :) Not being proactive to care for Earth in hopes God will take care of it, is sort of like not studying for a test because if God cares or whatever, He/She will make you pass.

There's a difference between God saving you when you find yourself hopelessly lost/trapped, and God saving you because you were insanely reckless and deliberately proceeding forward anyways.
Does God spare the murderer a prison sentence because he begs forgiveness?
Does God make the baby go away when an unmarried couple have premarital sex?
Does God prevent lung cancer in a smoker who smokes 2 packs a day for 25 years?
God encourages us to be responsible. Part of this involves the planet. In Revelation, God says that He will return and "destroy those who destroy the Earth." Could the meaning of that phrase written 1900 years ago be any clearer?

Science can either destroy us, or it can save us, and the struggle between good and evil will always be balanced.
This resurrection you speak of has never been proven, and has nothing to do with science. My faith is in nature.

Absolutely,
All things are going exactly as God has planned since the before time. He is in control and nothing comes to Him as a surprise. If man is to effect climate change, it will only be if God has already pre-ordained it.

it's a little late to do something about saving this planet now, it's gone far beyond our repair. however should that higher being see fit for us to be able to create life on another planet, the higher power will help us to create light speed to journey out to other planets to seek other civiliations or other planets that would be able to sustain human life for us to continue to flourish. until that happens, we're all going to die along with this miserable planet.

Is this to suggest that it it alright to waste and pollute the Earth because Jesus will pick up after us like a parent with irresponsible teenagers? Do those who aren't sure he or she exists need to pick up after your mess just in case? Is that responsible stewardship? I'll bet that you didn't vote for Al Gore, did you? Good Grief!! You sound more than just a bit naïve and irresponsible.

Blind and faithless. That's you. It's about faith in God. Not fairy tells, vain immaginations, and the like. Get a Bible and read it in faith maybe your eyes will open up to reality.

Know your God and its creation first ...then...enjoy unlimited without fear...God is prime element which is converted into cretion.In other word in the sky of infinity this infinitely existing one is called god,who is associated with all visible and invisible.God is an existence . we are part of it .Like a molecule in a stone.The molecule of infinity as a whole is called a stone.Likewise a small existence of god in every molecule is a prime truth. Effect of creation is called nature and being self processed.The procedure of processing is nature which is created by effect of creation. Now god is an existence and every part of god is managed by automatic system of nature .We are being managed by nature which is called “shakti”(almighty )and whole existece is called “shiva” .Respectively territorial parts of nature are called bhagwan\ deities.The prime soul of whole existing is “Ishwar”,which at present is in salvation position .Ishwar was and will be almighty at the time of starting conversion of element into creation and end of creation(kayamat). Then after he will be new creator of new creation .It is endless process and continuous process.Molecules of creation are being transformed into “Atma”by it”s nature.At present nature is almighty .All molecules of creation are self managed and effected (controlled) by automatic system of nature.Nature is effect of co-existence of molecules.Now we are under control of territorial bhagwans\deities(Teritorial nature).keeping in view to above facts it is clear that at present god is an existence and being self processed by it”s nature.
Nature is not yet become perfect.She is partially negative also.She has desires for improvement,increase of her strength and capacity.She likes every thing as you compell to do by your nature.Now you have two ways,Either you have to faith in your god or gowith nature.Nature Involves enjoyment as well as punishment and sacrifice also.Her every action gets reaction.So enjoy the life or strict in your faith in god.who will certainly give you better position in next creation and you will be enjoy to infinite extent.If you are very bad man you will be toilet cleaner in next creation.So know your self and be cooperative and merciful to each other.Then,nature will also love you as well as god loves you.

well the problem is that your imaginary god wont take care of the planet. as we can se he cant even take care of a bit of global warming. were he real he could correct the problem instantly.
we humans, you know...normal people (unlike you) have to take care of the planet. you people, who beleive someon ele will do it, arent helping one single bit.
i agree with the first responder. use your brain.
