Revisit: Ursula Goodenough - Religious Naturalist

Ursula Goodenough is a Professor of Biology Emerita at Washington University in St. Louis, and serves as president of the Religious Naturalist Association. She authored the textbook Genetics and the best-selling book The Sacred Depths of Nature. She has presented the paradigm of the Religious Naturalist Orientation and the Epic of Evolution in numerous venues around the world. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Ursula describes what it means to be a Religious Naturalist. By first establishing a basis of scientific knowledge and then discussing topics such as spirituality, death, meaning, and separating technology from science, Ursula presents a perspective that reconciles our modern scientific understanding of reality with our timeless spiritual yearnings for reverence and continuity.
