We Live At A Time When Emotions

The Apologists For Space Science Always Seem Over-impressed By Engineering Trivia And Make Far Too Much Of Non-stick Frying Pans And Perfect Ball-bearings. To My Mind, The Outstanding Spin-off From Space Research Is Not New Technology. The Real Bonus Has Been That For The First Time In Human History We Have Had A Chance To Look At The Earth From Space, And The Information Gained From Seeing From The Outside Our Azure-green Planet In All Its Global Beauty Has Given Rise To A Whole New Set Of Questions And Answers.

All The Modelling We Do Shows That The Climate Is Poised On The Jump Up To A New Hot State. It Is Accelerating So Fast That You Could Say That We Are Already In It.

Science Always Uses Metaphor.

Those Of Us Who Consider Ourselves To Be Somehow Involved In The Birthing Of A New Age, Should Discover Gaia As Well. The Idea Of Gaia May Facilitate The Task Of Converting Destructive Human Activities To Constructive And Cooperative Behavior. It Is An Idea Which Deeply Startles Us, And In The Process, May Help Us As A Species To Make The Necessary Jump To Planetary Awareness.

I'm A Scientist, Not A Theologian. I Don't Know If There Is A God Or Not. Religion Requires Certainty.
