Over a colorful Chinese chicken salad, host Bokara Legendre takes on some of the "big questions" about human existence and our role and purpose in the cosmos. What is the scientific explanation of the creation of the universe? Is western science's so-called "quantum vacuum", just another "creation myth", and if so, how does it compare with the creation myths of other societies and belief systems? As guides on this existential journey through the cosmos, Bokara is joined by mathematical cosmologist Brian Swimme, PhD, and professor of world religions, Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker.
"Confucius had one of the most profound sensibilities, namely that change in the universe is the transformation, the pulsation of Everything. And that is what we harmonize with. So, to the Confucians, the resonance of the human 'chi', the vital energy, with the 'chi' of the universe - the animal world, the spirit world, the bird world, the wind world, is what we are here to constantly cultivate."
"For four billion years Charles Darwin's theory was correct - that the fundamental shaping power in life is Natural Selection. But that is no longer true. Now, the fundamental power is 'cultural selection', because humans have permeated everything so deeply that the survival of any particular species now depends on how it interacts with us. So far, this has been unconscious. We had no idea what we were doing. But now, we are starting to realize that our imagination is so powerful it is actually the shaping force of evolution." |
