Temporal Creatures Tending the Earth: How Biology, Philos, Theology, & Science Spark Care for Earth

God, humans, and environments intertwine, informing our unconscious assumptions about temporality and interconnectedness. This deeply embedded framework often ignores contemporary scientific insights about time and its influences on our experiences of self and creation. This session combines theological, philosophical, and biological concepts to construct a more robust understanding of human experience and interconnectedness to the environment. The interdisciplinary dialogue aspires to spark the protection of our environment by understanding ourselves as temporal. This provides an original approach to thinking about the care and keeping of our earth today in a culture that seeks scientific explanations and answers from religion.
