Christians, you say that God created humans to be above
all other animals. Yed we are not the conquerer of the ocean!
Hell the ocean is much larger than the land and yet we can't
conquer it! What you got to say about that! And for the land
we live on we just destroy it! Other animals live peacefully and
do not destroy the enviornment but we humans do!! So are
humans conquerers or hell creatures for motherly earth!?

I believe the correct scriptural terminology is "dominion" over the earth. We are to be stewards of it. But as sinful beings, how can we expect to do that job as God intended? We rebelled in every other way, why not in the area of stewardship also?

What does the ocean have to do with it? God did not say we would be "conquerors". You mistinterpreted scripture somehow.

I think that you're attempting to bash Christianity, and that's all your post boils down to. In reality, if you really wanted to know the answer to these questions, you'd have already found satisfactory answers in Scripture.

We have dominion, but not control. God asks us to care for animals. Basically, we're not animals and we're not divine ... we're smack in between.

We almost made the whales go extinct for energy (candles) in the 1800's. Good thing Thomas Edison figured out the lightbulb thing.
