there's not a single person in arizona today who would say the grand canyon was a mistake. man as john muir: the very first reservation that ever was made in this world, the garden of eden contained only one tree. the smallest reservation that ever was made. yet no sooner was it made than it was attacked by everybody in the world-- the devil, one woman and one man. this has been the history of every reservation that has been made since that time, that is, as soon as a reservation is once created, then the thieves and the devil and his relations come forward to attack it. duncan: he said, "nothing dollarable is safe"... and it's like this insight into human beings, but particularly americans. he understood this relentless grasp of american commerce. it wants to reach into everything. and he realized that if a dollar value could be attached to in his mind, a sacred place, it was vulnerable. coyote: since the start of the 20th century, the city of san francisco had been looking for a better supply of water to fuel its growth and it had set its sights on the tuolumne river and

there was a desire to see the grand canyon, to see yosemite. there was a desire to fully invest my physical self and my spiritual self in america because that's a part of america that i didn't know, and i wanted to become familiar with it. coyote: in 1984, shelton johnson became the first generation of his family to visit a national park when he stepped off a bus at the entrance to yellowstone and immediately fell in love with everything it offered. johnson soon started a career in the park service and by the 1990s he was working in yosemite as an interpretive ranger, proudly telling visitors the little-known story of the african american buffalo soldiers, the park's earliest protectors. in the last decades of the 20th century, the focus of the park service shifted. more and more historic sites were saved, including reminders of painful episodes in american history, set aside on the belief that a great nation could openly acknowledge them. from kingsley planta florida, preserving not only the owner's grand home but also the cluster of small cab

canyon they estimated at half a mile in depth, the one jim bridger had once bragged about the grand canyon of the yellowstone. langford was now convinced that the yellowstone could be an even greater attraction than he and the backers of the northern pacific had dreamed. during their exploration the nearsighted truman everts somehow got separated from the main group and went missing. over the next several days search parties were dispatched to find him. they encountered grizzly bears heard the howls of wolves, but found no trace of everts or his horse. on september 13, a surprise storm dropped two feet of snow on them. running low on supplies, the expedition had no choice but to turn for home, leaving notes behind for everts at each campsite along with what little food they could spare from their own dwindling rations. heading for the madison river and the mining town of virginia city, they struggled for days through snow and dense timber until they came upon a large clearing. man as nathaniel langford: we had already seen what we believed to be the greatest wonders on the continent. judge

met in 1896 and in the beginning enjoyed each other's company camping together on the rim of the grand canyon. but while the two men agreed that america's forests were being rapaciously destroyed, they ultimately parted company on the solution. muir considered forests sacred. he wanted them treated as parks with logging, grazing, and hunting prohibited. pinchot didn't agree. he wanted forests protected, too, but he believed the best way to do it was to manage their use, not leave them alone. his favorite saying was "the greatest good "for the greatest number." man as john muir: much is said on questions of this kind about the greatest good for the greatest number, but the greatest number is too often found to be number one. it is never the greatest number in the common meaning of the term that makes the greatest noise and stir on questions mixed with money. complaints are made in the name of poor settlers and miners, while the wealthy corporations are kept carefully hidden in the background. let right, commendable industry be fostered, but as to these goths and vandals of the wilderness who a

some people come back from, say, the edge of the grand canyon and they say it makes them feel small. i understand that but i think it may be a misconception. it may be that it's not a landscape that makes you feel small, it's a landscape that gets rid of your sense of scale entirely because there have been so many times out there in the deep of winter camping for week after week in the open desert where at night it gets down to 10 below or 15 below zero and there's nothing in your life but the sky and the stars. and you are looking up into the sky and you think, i could just stand and walk into stars. i could become a giant. there are times in the desert when you are not small but you are infinite. you take up everything. there is no boundary between you and it. when i look at the artifacts that the anastazi made, especially the painted black and white, i see that landscape. i see the colorado plateau. this bowl is from american museum of natural history and that's where it is now. that's the storage place. where it was from before is pueblo bonito in chaco canyon where there were ro

the stupendous sight of the universe or looking down a microscope or thinking or going to the grand canyon and looking down through the layers of geological time i mean that's magical in the sense of the magic of reality and you could even call that spiritual but i rather resent the hijacking of that call it spiritual if you like i prefer not to i rather resent the hijacking of that feeling which i feel that in which any of my scientist friends feel hijacking my religion is not a monopoly of religion we all feel it all we all are capable of feeling is the human condition. very well so in the god delusion you're asserting that a supernatural creator doesn't exist in the belief that a personal god qualifies as a delusion you also make that argument for the belief in any sort of consciousness beyond the individual for example could it be that the universe itself is a conscious organism and works one expression of it within it or for that matter what is consciousness. well i don't know what consciousness is and it's a very difficult philosophical question i don't think it's probably going to b
