Actually the leading science journal, Nature, has publish an article praising a river god.
Biology professor Jerry Coyne reports:
Conservationist Anne Poelina has a deep connection to the fresh water that runs through the dry red-rock landscape of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. Poelina identifies as a Nyikina Warrwa woman, and her people are the Traditional Custodians of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River. ...This is not religious tolerance. This is a Wokeness statement.Poelina explains that “in terms of property rights, the river owns me. So, I have a duty of care and the fiduciary duty to protect this river’s right to life.” ...
In 2020, she started including the Martuwarra River of Life as the first author on her publications. ...
When asked why the river should be listed as first author, she responded: “Because it’s the authority. It’s where I get my authority.”
Last I checked, rivers don't write papers...which she downright knows. Even If you worship God, he can't be a cosigner on a paper because he is your 'authority'...whatever that means in this context.
