The justification I've heard is that we are near the End Times, and since God's going to hit the big red reset button, it doesn't matter if we fuck it up. You don't have to search far to find the people who believe that, sadly.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense, unless you honestly believe that every single thing in creation exists solely for your benefit, and that the order for that comes direct from an all powerful deity.
The bottom line is that these are extremists, just like the guys who strap explosives to themselves and try to murder civilians. They don't represent anything other than their own arrogance and fear.
