Abstract
In this excerpt from his forthcoming book, The New Holy Wars: Economic Religion versus Environmental Religion in Contemporary America, economist Robert H. Nelson provides examples of how current environmental religion is beset by underlying theological confusions. Intent upon restoring the natural world to a state prior to destructive human interventionwhether through trying to reintroduce extinct mega-fauna to the Americas or saving the endangered spotted owlenvironmentalists are unwittingly engaged in their own contradictory project of defying Darwin and playing God.
