This is an elegant and beautiful formulation


I believe in human ingenuity and I love the Earth.

When I read this article about two years ago, I had a "these are my people" moment.

"Modernization theology should thus be grounded in a sense of profound gratitude to Creation—human and nonhuman. It should celebrate, not desecrate, the technologies that led our prehuman ancestors to evolve. Our experience of transcendence in the outdoors should translate into the desire for all humans to benefit from the fruits of modernization and be able to experience similar transcendence. Our valorization of creativity should lead us to care for our cocreation of the planet."

Turning away from technology ignores thousands of years of evolution between humans and nature.
