Question

According to John Muir, what do a "numerous class of men" believe about the world and its natural resources? Natural resources are God's sacred creation, and should not be touched or harmed in any way, only revered from afar. Natural resources have no value at all. The value of natural resources lies only in what they provide to men, men of business and industry, especially. Women are better in touch with the natural world than men.
