Abstract:
The author presents her response to comments on her article regarding the use of science by colleagues in the field of religious environmental ethics. She mentions the criticisms of scientific mythmaking with retrograde superstition that clings to an Earth-centered universe. She also outlines the rehabilitation of postmodernism as a reconstructive variety that recognizes scientific truth.
