[MD] Journey to the Stars

[MarshaV]

>Marsha before:
>Yesterday I spent a wonderful day at the Museum of Natural History 
>with my daughter and three grandchildren.  One of the programs we 
>saw was Journey to the Stars at the Hayden Planetarium.  It was 
>wonderful, really wonderful!  But...  The program was narrated by 
>Whoopi Goldberg and presented in a very authoritative manner.  There 
>was much talk of the Big Bang and Supernovas, and no hint that it 
>was anything but Truth.  I waited for some sense that the concepts 
>contained some speculation, but no, all was presented as fact.  At 
>one point towards the end of the show, Whoopi presented the 
>question:  "And how do we know this is true?"  Her answer was pinned 
>to "Because Science has discovered..."  She might have well of said, 
>"Because God says so and it is written in the bible."
>
>So what do you think?  Is Science the up and coming newest 
>religion?  And since the U.S. Defense Department funds so much 
>science, maybe the Secretary of Defense is the new deity?

Marsha adds:
Science states we scientists are discovering the Laws of Nature and 
the elemental constituents that create Reality, the Truth.

The mystic realizes man create reality, and reality creates man.

I think the mystic's is the more intelligent point-of-view, the MOQ 
point-of-view, the Dynamic point-of-view, while Science, representing 
the community of scientists, is trying to reduce uncertainty to the 
point that reality appears insane because of an un-natural stagnation 
forced upon it.
