We are in grave danger of losing forever not just millions of years of evolution on earth, but the eons of change that have produced man and his natural environment.

We have an impact on nature, and nature has an impact on us.

Now, more than ever, we need nature as a balancing agent.

With our evolved busy hands and our evolved busy brains, in an extraordinarily short period of time we've managed to alter the earth with such geologic-forcing effects that we ourselves are forces of nature. Climate change, ocean acidification, the sixth mass extinction of species.

Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.

We must return to nature and nature's god.

Our species is on the verge of changes that will fundamentally alter what it means to be human... and we are the people driving that change.

As a scientist, I clearly see the potential for harnessing the power of nature.

We're the only creature God ever created that doesn't want to adapt. We want to make it stand still. And one thing that's constant is nature is constantly changing.
