Los Conquistadores «sólo toman fotos y sólo dejan huellas» pero la búsqueda de oro requiere mover rocas y cavar grandes hoyos. ¿Cómo se puede reconciliar estos dos requisitos en conflicto?

The Bible speaks positively about gold, right from the Garden of Eden

Genesis 2:10-12 (ESV) "A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there."

Gold was extensively used in the tabernacle and temples as well as a store of wealth. As long as you don't make your gold more important than God gold is well worth acquiring.

We already know that digging is required to get gold and established that gold is worth having. So how do we justify gold prospecting? There is a difference between wanton destruction for no purpose and legitimately accessing resources. A Pathfinder would never carve her name in a tree but there is no reason not to cut an unprotected tree down to build a house or get firewood. Similarly we can't build roads without mining gravel or get oil without drilling for it. Gold prospecting is no different. When we gold prospect we should do it legally and environmentally responsibly. Don't harm fish or poison the water. Use settling ponds to reduce sediment. Build access roads properly and generally do everything the right way and you can prospect for gold with a free conscience.
