Science is a great good, but worship isn't what it is for. If you put it in the position of telling sacred truths, you lose the good of the thing: the good of the thing is its capacity to falsify what we think we know, not to uphold doctrines. It would therefore be a very unsure place to look for eternal truths; but if you managed to locate some there, it would only be because you had succeeded in destroying the principle end of the thing called science.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-12944334698754421052012-04-27T03:13:29.388-04:002012-04-27T03:13:29.388-04:00“So long as man remains free he strives for nothin...<i>“So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find some one to worship.”</i><br />-Dostoevsky, Brothers Karamazov<br /><br />It might be science for some, but for most, science is insufficient.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261739259295914188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-11375445050664076262012-04-26T23:47:11.820-04:002012-04-26T23:47:11.820-04:00I agree.

We can't do without myth; even insofar as history can be a science (which isn't very far), we need myth as well.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-19963495041488932562012-04-26T10:42:09.611-04:002012-04-26T10:42:09.611-04:00From my perspective, as a heathen, I've never...From my perspective, as a heathen, I've never understood the tension between science and religion as they compliment each other quite nicely. Myth has happened, is happening, and will happen again. It provides a timeless truth. Science, while ever changing, provides truth as well.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847770777949916479noreply@blogger.com
