What a Jesuit Scientist Told Me About Evolution and God

Ecology, faith, Jesuits, evolution, eco spirituality, environmental stewardship, and science shape this deep conversation with Br. Mark Mackey on interconnectedness, purpose, and the future of humanity.

In this conversation, I sit down with Br. Mark Mackey of Loyola University Chicago to explore the relationship between science and religion, Jesuit thought, evolution, eco spirituality, environmental ethics, and what ecology can teach us about being human.

We talk about how faith and science can deepen each other rather than compete, why environmental stewardship is a moral responsibility, how eco anxiety is affecting younger generations, and what it means to live with a real sense of interconnectedness in a fractured world.

Br. Mark also shares his path from ecologist to Jesuit brother, the influence of biology and salamanders on the way he sees the world, and why awareness, gratitude, and wonder still matter in an age of distraction.

This is a conversation about ecology, humanity, spirituality, sustainability, purpose, and the kind of inner change needed if we want a better future.
