The Monday Morning Memo

“You can take one of the greatest of all cosmic perspectives that exist, and it’s the revelation that emerged – mid 20th century – that the atoms of our body are traceable to the crucibles in the centers of stars, that then later exploded, scattering that enrichment into pristine gas clouds that then formed star systems with planets, one of which was the sun, with earth, so that we’re not simply alive in this universe, the universe is alive within us. That is a gift of modern astrophysics to civilization that borders on the spiritual, so that when you stand out in the night sky and look up, do you say, ‘Well I’m small and the universe is big?” You might say that and it be true,  but a bigger fact is you are made of the same ingredients as those stars. We’re not just poetically, we are literally stardust that achieved consciousness to contemplate the extent of the universe in which we live.”
– Neil deGrasse Tyson, speaking with Ari Melber on MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2022

Random Quote:

“

The accumulated frustrations of not being able to ease their sense of religious decline, their continued legal struggles against abortion and gay marriage, and the overwhelming shifts in popular culture promoting much less religiously restrictive understandings of personal identity have prompted politically active religious actors to take a far more pragmatic stance. Revivalism has largely been abandoned as a solution to changing society. Their goal is no longer to persuade the public of their religious and moral convictions; rather, their goal has become to authoritatively enforce behavioral guidelines through elected and nonelected officials who will shape policies and interpret laws such that they cannot be so easily altered or dismissed through the vagaries of popular elections. It is not piety but policy that matters most. The real triumph is when evangelical convictions become encoded into law.

“

- Gerardo Marti, a professor of sociology quoted in the New York Times, Jan 29, 2021
