Sažetak
Discussed are the relation and fundamental differences between modern Christianity and environmental ethics. There are four basic objections towards environmentalists: Nature is not and has never been static, so the concept of an overall homeostasis is a fundamentally unnatural objective; man and Nature can only be defined as acceleration, any retardation appears for human kind to be unnatural; one of the fundamental principles of Nature is the hierarchy in which the human kind is superordinate to all other kinds; the claim for a sustainable relation between man and Nature cannot be implemented because Nature is not being sustained but increasingly changed.
As a conclusion, the author explicates the theological prerequisites of environmental protection and points to technology as the central issue of environmental ethics.
