"If we destroy Creation ... Creation will destroy us,”

This is a 100% pagan statement...

Peter Pan said...

If we destroy Gaia... Gaia will destroy us.

That'd be more paganish.

Bob right he might as well used that word... who is he talking to? atheists? agnostics?

"Creation" (capital "C" no less!) is never depicted as an entity having a will of its own like he does here...

True, but it is also 100% scientific. The causality runs both ways here. At least Pagans get that. So-called Christians need to be reminded.

Matt's 100% correct.

We cannot destroy creation. At this rate live in earth will easily go on w/o us. And earth is just one planet, probably in a 100 LY range there are more habitable planets.

This may be pagan, that's why it is highly antropocentric.

Maybe we need to restart doing research on space travel, colonization etc. again. If anything else because the tech would also help stopping ecological crisis here on Earth.
