Kindle Notes & Highlights
With language we can ask, as can no other living being, those questions about who we are and why we are here. And this highly developed intellect means, surely, that we have a responsibility toward the other life-forms of our planet whose continued existence is threatened by the thoughtless behavior of our own human species—quite regardless of whether or not we believe in God.
Science does not have appropriate tools for the dissection of the spirit.
But we did not have the luxury of millions of years for all humans to become true saints. Not if we continued destroying our environment at the present rate. So, I thought, we would simply have to try, each and every one of us, to become just a little bit more saintlike. That, surely, we could do.
