“Surely it is obvious to any thinking person that the old schools of religious thought (and their modern antecedents, for that matter) are failing us morally and practically. I have long proposed a new ontological framework that rejects the pointless worship of confected books and dusty shrines and instead focuses on something real; the animals, the plants, the microscopic organisms – in which you truly perceive the essence of divine creativity. And where do these elements shine their brightest? Where is this sense of a transcendent presence most intensely felt? The ocean, of course. It is time for us to embrace this, through a kind of Marine Theology, if you will.” – Felix Ookean, 1967.
