A (cont.): Therefore everything has ‘God’ in it.
The forms of ‘God,’ both inorganic and organic, have since multiplied exceedingly. You might say that each new combination of atoms, molecules, amino acids, and DNA is a different expression of ‘God.’ Therefore each time we terminate a species, ‘God’ becomes more limited.
The human race is terminating species at an alarming rate. It is thereby diminishing ‘God,’ or the expressions of ‘God.’ If I were the Biblical God, I would be very annoyed. He made the thing and saw that it was good. And now people are scribbling all over the artwork.
It is noteworthy that the covenant made by God after the flood was not just with Noah, but with every living thing. I assume that the ‘God's Gardeners’ organization in Oryx and Crake used this kind of insight as a cornerstone of their theology.
Is that any clearer?
