Cool, Hilda, great post!

...and may I be so bold as to add... that not only is the fate of the Universe undetermined, but that it is also possible for human beings to affect their immediate environment with loving positive change. Carried out to it's extreme, this would extend to the extremeties of the planet earth... and slightly beyond... as a domain in which humans can be logically effectual in cultivating, nurturing, and protecting.

Those who would say that the state of the earth is God's responsibility... and that love in this case is 'letting go' of the only environment we know... seem to be insisting on the exclusive supremicy of petty human drama and territorial skermishes over man's God given responsibility to evolve and cherish and cooperate and care.

We can do it!
