James Cooper quotes 19th
century landscape painter Asher Durand as saying, “Nature in its
purity was fraught with high and holy meaning, only surpassed by the
light of Revelation.”
But revelation is part of nature, which
makes nature even holier than Durand suggests. Nature has evolved
life and human beings, and nature continues material evolution all
the way to supermaterial Godhood. This is the deeper sacredness of
nature.
Religion should not block this
sacredness of nature by downgrading evolving material life. Religion
should affirm and champion evolving material life as the sacred path
to real supermaterial Godhood in the cosmos.
