I just want to second this. This is not a mainstream view. Dominion over the earth does not mean strip mining, hunting whales to extinction and most of all not destroying God's creation.

A school of theological thought that is gaining traction in protestant circles is that "new earth" spoken about in the bible is in fact this earth (fixed). Fixing this earth then has important religious significance.

This is in stark contrast to those extremist sects who wish for nuclear war to bring on the apocalypse.
