Bigger Than Science, Bigger Than Religion

27 February 2015 Leave a Comment

"We’re closer to environmental disaster than ever before. We need a new story for our relationship with the Earth, one that goes beyond science and religion. "We need a powerful new story that we are a part of nature and not separate from it. We need a story that properly situates humans in the world — neither above it by virtue of our superior intellect, nor dwarfed by the universe into cosmic insignificance.
