Science writer Michael Lemonick will join in a conversation with Sam Guarnaccia, composer of the Emergent Universe Oratorio, to discuss our evolving world and human impact on the environment.
from the Emergent Universe Oratorio:
We are a planet-altering species, a
juvenile species
Playing havoc with the air, the climate,
the rivers, the oceans.
We live on a different planet now,
A planet where the human
Profoundly affects the course of
evolution.
“The Universe is holding its breath
Waiting for us to take our place.” *
Calling us to responsibility
Reaffirming what we already knew…
What we do the Earth, we do to
ourselves!
