Document Summary
Theology beliefs that nature was created for humans by god. With this comes power, supremacy and responsibilities for humans within nature. Challenges theology, promoting evolution (naturalism) over church. We are not over nature, we are of nature . Church was fundamental belief of the world at the time, this was a huge challenge. Ecology works with cultural geography, interacting post war. Cultural materialism connects to urban landscapes/ industrial geography. Scientific revolution + enlightenment (17th and 18th c) Continuation of wonderment of nature but challenge human domination over nature. Darwinism (1859) - origin of species - scientific naturalism. The natural world perfectly suited human - adds to the theology that god made the world for humans - adam + eve. Arc - god resets the world through the great flood, identified good person (noah) to take care of it - dominant species is human. Don"t connect ourselves as within the animal kingdom.
