This chapter talks to us about the moral sense of nature. Did God create nature for humans to consume? I believe that He did. Centuries ago, people had to survive off animals such as the indians. They used every part of the animal they consumed, and very little of it was wasted if any. Today, our consumption has gone out of control. Therefore, we have lost the respect for nature. We have slaughter houses that inject cows with steroids so that the meat tastes better. This is not what God intended for nature.

Evernden says that humans stand out of nature by their very nature. Human beings can live anywhere, therefore do not belong in any particular case. Today, humans are protected from nature by technology. We live in a world that is bound by walls and roads. We have no contact with nature anymore. There are very few people who care about what we do to animals and how much of them we consume.

"The task of humans is to live in harmony with the order and rhythm of nature." This is what theocentrism is based upon. Obviously, today we are not living in harmony with nature. We are destroying it.
