Water at Humanist Hall
9 January 2010
We at the Fellowship of Humanity believe that it is not gods or money that are sacred but such things as food, water, and community. There cannot be life without liquid water, which is one of the many unique things about the Earth. The Earth lives in that planetary “Goldielocks” zone between searing Venus and frigid Mars. Venus and the other inner planets are too hot for liquid water – Mars and the other outer planets are too cold. In the search for life on the moon, or Mars, or far out in the universe, the main indicator is the presence of water. Deprived of water, people die in a week or so, one can go much longer without food.
