Abstract
Science, with its theories of natural selection and equilibrium, and religion, with its biblical descriptions of land forever flowing with "milk and honey," have viewed nature as ever-renewing. Both have prioritized growth and its resulting abundance. As our twenty-first-century environmental crises challenge these concepts, scientists can teach us to sustain the environment while the motivations of biblical stewardship remind us to treasure Earth's biodiversity and celebrate creation.
