What does creation mean?

[Hekuran]

There are plenty of threads here that consider science/theology evolution/creation in some detail. Here I am interested in what the creation accounts mean, and what relevance they have today.

Specifically the news story from Reuters copied below. I've picked this out because it's typical: news about the environment is getting more and more pessimistic.

Can anybody help out with a biblically framed response to this kind of issue?

The Arctic is warming up so quickly that the region's sea ice cover in summer could vanish as early as 2013, decades earlier than some had predicted, a leading polar expert said on Thursday.

Warwick Vincent, director of the Centre for Northern Studies at Laval University in Quebec, said recent data on the ice cover "appear to be tracking the most pessimistic of the models", which call for an ice free summer in 2013.

The year "2013 is starting to look as though it is a lot more reasonable as a prediction. But each year we've been wrong -- each year we're finding that it's a little bit faster than expected,"​

Thanks

You have presented a challenge in your question.....

My reply may be pygmy like in response.........A global economy, a common banking system worldwide, an international agricultural policy, etc. were talked about long ago in the pages of scripture.........

Today we see such policies as a solution to global problems
