  2. (1) Green religion ~ life on Earth is sacred and deserves reverent care. (2) Green religion is not new but is being revitalized and is spreading (3) Dark Green Religion is that which is “deep ecological” or “biocentric,” believing non-human species have intrinsic value. (4) Radical Environmentalism and deep ecology contributing to Green Religion globally. (5) Evidence for the globalization of green religion can be found widely, and suggests the emergence of an influential if yet largely politically impotent civic earth religion

[Attenborough] It began in the sea Some 3 thousand million years ago Complex chemical molecules began to clump together These were the "seeds" From which the tree of life developed They were able to split, replicating themselves As bacteria do [Sagan] The secrets of evolution Are time and death There's an unbroken thread that stretches From those first cells to us (refrain) [Jane Goodall] There isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom It's a very wuzzie line It's a very wuzzie line, and it's getting wuzzier All the time We find animals doing things that we, In our arrogance, Used to think was "just human" (refrain) [Attenborough] Its continued survival now rests in our hands Embedded code: <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hOLAGYmUQV0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hOLAGYmUQV0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
