We don't have "dominion" over the earth. We are PART of the earth. We think we're hurting the planet, but we are really just hurting ourselves.
And now we're going to have to pay the consequences. Go talk to the familes who lost their homes and loved ones in Katrina, or the tsunami, or the tornadoes in Florida, and ask them how much "dominion" they have over nature. It is a mistake to believe that we even have the right to be in control of the earth. In fact, the very idea is a relatively young notion, coming about with the patriarchal religions of the part three thousand years or so.

This is another thing people get wrong concerning the Bible.
Man was never given power to do as he pleased concerning the Earth. That isn't what dominion meant. He was given dominion over the animals and the earth as God had dominion over Man. That meant that he was supposed to treat it in the manner God treated Man, to oversee it not control it, to love it and allow it to be nurtured, not kill it and abuse it.

Naw...it wasn't a mistake. It was a choice. If God is really there, he can blink and make a new planet. No biggie really. We might very well be a bad science fair project gone wild. At best, God will get honorable mention at the fair for his Earth project.

God never makes mistakes. God can do or undo anything, including what we've done to the Earth. For all we know, everything is as planned.

God make no mistake, we do . He gives us duties and services and if we screw up don't blame Him. If you give your child a job to do does that make you wrong if your child screws up even if you told him how to do it properly. Everyone wants to blame God for our foolishness. He shows His love by giving us free will but He gives us the scripture to tell us how to live. It is not His falt if foolish men change the holy books. He keeps having to send another son to reestablish the truth again and again due to evil men.(that is why so many religions.

Free Will is never a mistake, its what the Human race does with their free will that might be.
The Quran says that
“Any calamity that befalls you is because of your own misdoings; (whether these are committed by an individual or collectively because of an improper social system)”[10]. “Verily, as for those who do not believe that they are destined to meet Us, but content themselves with the life of this world and do not look beyond it, and are heedless of Our messages. Their abode is the Fire, because of the (evil) they earned. [But] those who believe, and work righteousness,- their Lord will guide them because of their faith: beneath them will flow rivers in gardens of bliss.”[11]

No God didn't make a mistake. He understands that this wasn't our fault, that is why He keeps trying so hard to reach us. And made it easier to do so by sending Jesus to us.

let's try not to blame God for our own human mistakes.
