However our addictive dependency on old theory and doctrine (Darwinism for example) and the reluctance to accept all other petitioners is tantamount to intellectual sacrilege.
And how is this different from all those who hold the Bible/Koran/Torah as the inalianable truth? Seriously - science, on the whole, admits its' failings, and constantly searches for further proof, and more accurate ways of measuring the universe. The vast majority of theologians do not look at what is happening in the world around them, or look to the future, but rather seek solace and enlightenment in writings which are anything up to 2000 years old. How is this not blinkered?


I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
