Science After Babel

Polymath and raconteur David Berlinski is at it again, challenging the shibboleths of contemporary science with his inimitable blend of deep learning, close reasoning, and rapier wit. In Science After Babel he reflects on everything from Newton, Einstein, and Gödel to catastrophe theory, information theory, and the morass that is modern Darwinism. The scientific enterprise is unarguably impressive, but it shows no sign of reaching the empyrean heights it seemed to promise a century ago. “It resembles Bruegel’s Tower of Babel,” Berlinski says, “and if it suggests anything at all, it suggests that its original plans have somehow been lost.” Science endures. Scientism, it would seem, is guttering out.

Religious dogma needs to be constantly reinforced and mostly for the sake of church profits.

But even the Catholic church has turned to accepting Darwinian evolution!

The churches are left with being mocked if they didn't begin to accept the obvious. The Catholics led the rush, but did they make the right choice?

It could be that the Catholics were the first to see the writing on the wall that said that the jesus gimmick had limited time left in which to cash in.
