A philosopher gone wild: CSU professor makes peace between God and science — and wins the world's most generous prize
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2003-04) Campbell, Greg, interviewer and author; Rolston, Holmes, 1932-, interviewee
Dr. Holmes Rolston is interviewed by Greg Campbell in April 2003. Dr. Holmes Rolston will receive the Templeton Prize, valued at more than $1 million, on May 7 in London's Buckingham Palace from Prince Philip. He will use the money to endow a chair in his name at his alma mater, Davidson College in North Carolina, in the fields of science and religion. His studies in philosophy of science, in evolutionary and ecosystem science, and as an accomplished biologist have made Rolston the leading voice for protecting biodiversity — not only out of respect for nature, but also due to religious obligation. He already has carved on his future tombstone this epitaph: "Philosopher Gone Wild." That's his life well-lived.

Blessing the planet: Templeton Prize winner links ecology to theology
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2003) Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc., publisher
The award given to Rolston is the world's largest monetary prize for achievement in any field. Rolston, though less prominent than previous winners, has been quietly influential over a long career at the often contentious crossroads of science and religion. In nature, God is not an architect or engineer, but creates using a process in which life is perpetually perishing, perpetually regenerated.

Celebrating 50 years of the Templeton Prize, two dozen past prize laureates, living and deceased, are featured for their cosmic focus, whether theistic or atheistic, on the grand visions which Homo sapiens, the wise species, can attain. What do, what ought we humans most care for and about? Brief, penetrating, pointed, provocative, and pithy moments of wisdom. About halfway through Holmes Rolston is heard: "The environmental crisis is essentially - a crisis of spirit."

Genes, genesis and God Radio interview with Rachael Kohn (Radio National - Australia)
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2003) Rolston, Holmes, 1932-, speaker; Kohn, Rachael, speaker; ABC Radio National, producer
Science and religion are distinct, yet overlap. Biology finds "selfish genes" but also self-actualizing genes, defending their kind. Charles Birch, Australian biologist, celebrates life. Rolston's quarrels with both science and religion for not finding intrinsic value in nature. Rolston notoriously has advocated shooting rhino poachers and keeping cattle of the poor off tiger sanctuaries. One ought to fix a problem in the right place. Rolston recalls receiving the Templeton Prize in Buckingham Palace, then giving it the same day to his alma mater. He was millionaire for six hours.
