Now, what is an ontologist—what is even meant by the term ontology? Well, it is neither science nor religion but rather somewhat in between. It concerns understanding the nature of reality as such, neither in scientific detail nor by religious creed—but just as it is.

Misunderstand me right, I am not against either science or religion. On the contrary, I find solace in both. But still I find another kind of truth lingering, another urgent inquiry that needs to be addressed.

What was here before us—what will be here when we’re gone?
