Great piece by Trevor Malkinson on the state of the planet:
A Time to Mourn, A Time to Weep- The Many Faces of Progress.
Malkinson quotes the process theologian John Cobb Jr. from this recent interview:
If I tried to be very philosophical, and look at things very broadly, I think that the divine experiment on this planet is not going to continue much longer. But I think whatever we have done, whatever we have accomplished, has enriched the life of God and it has not been a waste, so the experiment has not been a total failure. And I hope somewhere else in the universe, maybe many other places in the universe, there are other experiments and some of them will be more successful then this one.
