The Scientific World-view

The Scientific world-view has no defense against a world-view based on Faith.

In BEYOND GROWTH, Herman Daly notes that the scientific cosmology is "mechanical" (amoral):

    "... that Sagan, Wilson, and Gould proclaim the cosmology of scientific materialism, which considers the cosmos an absurd accident, and life within it to be no more than another accident ultimately reducible to dead matter in motion. In their view there is no such thing as value in any objective sense, or purpose, beyond short-term survival and reproduction, which are purely instinctual and thus ultimately mechanical."

Someone with a scientific cosmology is morally ambiguous:

    "Calling for a moral compass in such a world is as absurd as calling for a magnetic compass in a world in which you proclaim that there is no such thing as magnetic north. A sensitive compass needle is worthless if there is no external lure toward which it is pulled. A morally sensitive person in a world in which there is no lure of objective value to pull and persuade this sensitized person toward itself is like the compass needle with no external magnetic force to act on it." 

Burdened with uncertainty and a world without purpose, scientists simply can not compete with lunatics in matters of public policy.

Therefore (and here is the real "leap of faith"), any movement that is not considered a "lunatic fringe" will not be successful in defeating the System. To bring down the high and mighty you must step outside of the box and enter the realm of total insanity. No rational arguments are practical or effective in dealing with Evil.

Gentlemen, this is a war to the finish. And, by finish I mean until the last minion of the Deceiver is dead and buried. This is a struggle against demons and aliens where only one of two outcomes is possible: Death or Victory. This is the Road to Valhalla.
