Bill Nye

The science guy is simply a high priest of the his religion of evolutionary science.  It takes as much faith to believe in his science as it does to believe in the bible. The problem is that the doctrine of his science changes daily. The actual evidence of evolution if it is defined as species change, and not simply adaption of the species, is as unprovable as the actual evidence of God.  The fact that order exists within chaos and in conflict with entropy is unimaginable except in the light of creation.  Even the religion of science believes that everything started with the big bang. The scientists just don't bother to deal with the little detail of what was before the big bang; Or how order came about from absolute chaos; how the genetic code seems to have come into existence which but its very nature is more complex than the code itself; or how the code, resident in each of us, is capable of producing the vast diversity of plants, animals, an humans on the earth. It is the stuff between the genes that kept me from becoming something other than what I am.  That is where the mystery is not the genes.

The religion of science keeps the pseudo-intellectuals busy, off of the streets, and out of crime but the search for truth is really beyond them. My belief in God enables me to focus on being a better human being rather than trying to produce a better human being.

The fact that some individuals have used religion and science to do inhumane things doesn't belittle religion or science it does belittle humans. It doesn't prove or disprove religion or science it points out the error of thinking one is some how better than the other.

I would not want to live in a world without science nor try to survive in a world without religion.

Nozick

I wonder what it is in the human genome that leads to the creation of contraries but endows them with a high intellect in as much as they pretend to write meaningful things in a semi-convincing manner but in reality it is only thoughts about how to lie, mislead, and draw the wrong conclusions.

I am reading Robert Nozick's book Anarchy, State, and Utopia. I find it remarkable that he and others like him have any following at all, but they do. What is depressing is that they appeal to people who are highly intellectual and capable of so much but are either lazy or simply incapable of rational thought and yet they seem to be prospering today in spite of the evidence that their philosophies and beliefs are counter productive at best and harmful at worst.

Too many people are anxious to disavow the capitalist thinking because the love of money leads to greed and corruption.  Too many people are willing to believe the socialist or communist way of thought but won't accept the fact that the lust for power leads to greed and corruption.

Not enough people are willing to accept the religious point of view, philosophy, and behave accordingly because it expects them to sacrifice their time and money on behalf of someone else and it does not lead to greed or corruption when practiced accordingly.
