“Jews believe that people are creators, not consumers. The role of humans is to improve and perfect God's creations through work, creation, and innovation.”

“The highest praise of God consists in the denial of him by the atheist who finds creation so perfect that it can dispense with a creator.”

“God loves and cares for creation and has the right to expect this loving care be replicated by humans. Creation exists, not for the glory of humanity, but for the glory of God. God has the right to see that earthly creatures are free to live according to their nature and without unnecessary abuse, exploitation, and pain, so that their lives can glorify their Creator.…[S]ince God values and cares for all creation, creation has a derived right to be valued and cared for by humans for God’s glory.”

“You are the perfect creation of God. Don't allow you to be down. God is experiencing through you.”

“All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.”

“He [Pierre Teilhard de Chardin] was thrilled with the idea that through work in the world human beings were participating in the ongoing extension and consecration of God's creation.”
