(How are we to restore creation to the purposes God intend...)
How are we to restore creation to the purposes God intended for it? What are the errors and sins that pervert the earth from the intentions of God our Creator? To understand how we are to treat the earth, we must understand God's intention in regard to creation-and how the Catholic Church's views on the environment are rooted in her theology of creation. Drawing heavily upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church,the Catechism of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church, papal writings, and contemporary thought, Dr. George's writing reflects a new maturity in Christian thinking about the environment. It connects core beliefs and their moral implications on how we are to live on this fragile planet. MARIE I. GEORGE, Ph.D., is a Professor of Philosophy at St. John's University in New York where she teaches Environmental Ethics and Science & Religion. She has a strong interest in theology and biology and holds masters degrees in both areas. Dr. George is also the author of Christianity and Extraterrestrials?: A Catholic Perspective. She has been involved in catechesis in the Brooklyn diocese for twenty years.

(Does ETI existence spell the death of Christianity? The i...)
Does ETI existence spell the death of Christianity? The increasingly popular answer is "yes". Marie George argues, to the contrary, that Christian belief is compatible with ETI existence, by examining Roman Catholic teaching and Scripture. She then makes a case that while Christian belief does not exclude ETI existence, it does render it improbable. George goes on to expose the faulty reasoning behind the common opinion that science indicates that the universe surely contains other intelligent life forms. She closes with speculations on what the Catholic Church might eventually say about ETIs. Central to her analysis is the cosmic role of Christ."I appreciate arguments like those in Christianity and Extraterrestrials?, laid out carefully and investigated thoroughly. If more writers proceeded with Dr. George's care and courtesy, there would be new hope for peace in the world."John L. Barger, Ph.D.Publisher, Sophia Institute Press"Although some of Dr. George's claims are controversial, she is clearly an author seeking the truth and open to opposing arguments. Moreover, she has sought out the best sources and used them wisely-in short, an admirable scholarly presentation."Michael J. CroweCavanaugh Professor Emeritus, University of Notre Dame and author of The Extraterrestrial Life Debate, 1750?1900
