Biggest Business of All

It is as if man [sic] had been suddenly appointed managing director of the biggest business of all, the business of evolu­tion – appointed without being asked if he wanted it, and without proper warning and preparation. What is more, he can’t refuse the job. Whether he wants to or not, whether he is conscious of what he is doing or not, he is in point of fact determining the future direction of evolution on this earth. That is his inescapable destiny, and the sooner he realizes it and starts believing in it, the better for all concerned. ~Julian Huxley, “Transhumanism”

I don’t care whether you believe in evolution or intelligent design so long as we care for the earth and everything in it (proof texts*) as the first priority in our politics and religions. Madness and evil are the alternatives. ~jpc

We pray for wisdom. Namaste.
