" For many of us, that hole in our lives has been filled by a new story of the creation that does not require a God who intervenes in day-to-day affairs. It is an evolutionary story that reaches inward to embrace the ceaseless dance of DNA and outward to the spiraling galaxies, a story that places human life and consciousness squarely in a cosmic glow of complexifyingly energy…the universe is a unity, an interacting, evolving, and genetically related community of beings bound together in an inseparable relationship in space and time.
