to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character and.Perplexed by his confrontational approach to Taiwan and Ukraine I've long ago reconciled the hippie and the engineer – they both have to co-exist. I've repeatedly argued from a broader position that encompasses the spiritual and non-material domains as well. I'm not the one with trust issues here.Īt the same time – and you should have noticed this by now – I absolutely do not comment here with a reductionist, materialist science only view of the world. Yet we have repeatedly innovated past apparent resource limits, and there is no reason to image that at the peak of our capacity as a species we should not continue to do so. Malthusian thinking proposes that humans are nothing but unthinking bacteria in a finite petri dish doomed to consume all and die.

I firmly reject all the romantic Noble Savage tosh and Hunter-Gatherer mysticism that sloshes about in the backwaters of the environmentalist movement. And there was never anything 'safe' about it. It was a raw, bloody and typically violent affair. So how do we facilitate that conceptual leap to being part of nature again?įor several million years we evolved very much as 'part of nature'.
Although I an now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on, Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of though, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point.” “In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with the religious interpretation of the world.
“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” Also – there is but one single reality, therefore only a singular creator. Sorry Dennis but the battle between the polytheists and the monotheists was settled about a millennia ago.
