Synopsis

Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as primarily a "spiritual" matter that has little relationship to the world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. 
 
Making his case from Scripture, theology, and ethics and including insights from the global church, Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help readers put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice, he also suggests numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care for the planet. 
 
Bouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth as an integral part of Christian discipleship.

    Pompeii was an ancient Roman city situated near modern-day Naples in the Campania region of Italy, within what is now the comune of Pompei. It thrived as a bustling urban center until the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This violent explosion buried Pompeii, along with the neighboring cities of Herculaneum and several luxurious villas in the surrounding countryside, including those at Boscoreale and Stabiae, beneath a thick blanket of volcanic ash and pumice. The depth of this sudden entombment ranged from four to six meters (13 to 20 feet), sealing the city and its inhabitants in a chilling moment of suspended animation.  
    When excavations began centuries later, Pompeii revealed itself as an unprecedented time capsule of Roman life. The city was preserved in remarkable detail, offering a rare and invaluable glimpse into the daily routines, architectural styles, and cultural expressions of its people. However, the early excavations, conducted with rudimentary methods, often led to the destruction of crucial evidence. Despite these losses, Pompeii remains one of the most well-documented archaeological sites, providing scholars with insights into the lives of Romans that would have otherwise been lost to history.

    Exobiology - Life Beyond Earth

    The origins of life on Earth remain one of the most profound scientific mysteries. While no definitive answer exists, several compelling theories attempt to explain how life first emerged from non-living matter. Understanding these origins is crucial to the study of exobiology, as it provides insight into how life might arise elsewhere in the universe. 
    One widely accepted hypothesis is abiogenesis, which suggests that life arose from simple organic compounds through natural chemical processes. The famous Miller-Urey experiment in 1953 demonstrated that amino acids, the building blocks of life, could form under conditions similar to those of early Earth. These experiments, combined with discoveries of organic molecules in space, suggest that life’s precursors may have been abundant in the early solar system. 
    The conditions on early Earth were vastly different from today. Around 4 billion years ago, the planet was a harsh, volcanic world with a thick atmosphere composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor. Lightning, ultraviolet radiation, and hydrothermal vents may have provided the necessary energy to drive complex chemical reactions, leading to the formation of self-replicating molecules like RNA. The RNA world hypothesis proposes that RNA, due to its ability to both store genetic information and catalyze chemical reactions, was a key player in the transition from simple molecules to living cells.

    Genes, although tiny and imperceptible, play a pivotal role in shaping our physical characteristics, unless modified by medical intervention. Originating from the first man and woman, genes come in various types, with Y-Chromosomes and mtdna being extensively studied by geneticists. Y-DNA is inherited exclusively from fathers to sons, perpetuating through generations of male lineage, while mtdna is passed from mothers to all their offspring, albeit only daughters can transmit it further.The classification of Y-DNA and mtdna into letters helps delineate the genetic relationships across different populations and regions. However, these genetic markers often exhibit a mosaic distribution due to intermarriages, conflicts, and migrations throughout history. Despite these diversifications, humanity remains fundamentally linked to its ancestral roots, with distant connections to the original progenitors persisting through millennia of genetic mingling. Thus, while genetic variations have enriched our species over time, our collective genetic heritage underscores the profound interconnectedness among human populations worldwide.
