Best known for his books about environmentalism, economics and christianity. Died december 15th, 2018 due to natural causes at a conference in finland. Babbitt said it is necessary to protect every animal and plant species because the earth is sacred and that wild area are a source of our core values. The earth is designed for the purpose of the creator. We are able to learn more about god by encountering and experiencing in his creation. Through darwin"s more scientific perspective of how things evolved it is harder to accept the beauty of the land without considering that it was god"s creation. There is challenge within environmentalists to put their religious experiences of the natural world into a darwinist framework.
