It is very different to what I am saying - I'm not pushing anything at all. What fundamentalism does is attempt to promote a closed system of thinking where all human knowledge is subsumed to the single religious goal. It's logical endpoint is "Burn the heretic". The last thing fundamentalists want is to promote original and critical thinking. All intellectual endeavor must be bent to the religious objective.
The web site exemplifies this - proclaiming to have the "answers" to almost everything. If this isn't fundamentalism, I don't know what is.
I hear you dcraig and I do agree but on the other side of the coin there is science thinking faith and morality can be forgotten and anything is achievable and the vanity of man takes over. For example choosing the sex of ones baby. Having sex changes. Human cloning so we can live forever. The mind boggles. Gay couples having children.
I may get pasted by PC bodies here but I'm not convinced science has the answers. On the contrary to a large extent leads people astray.
In our pursuit of worldly gains we forget the meaning of life. For example children aren't interested in toys or games. They much further interact with their parents but instead get hooked up onto computers instead. Science, information technology, our way of life, cars, cosmopolitan cities design to work and produce and exploit other people of the world and all it's resources just about most things are heading towards the physical and scientific apirations of knowledge and further gain and people are becoming more isolated lost and individual. There is no goodwill or wish to help fellow man but to step on him to get ahead.
I did pass my A level Physics exam back in 82 with a grade B and would say I was fairly scientific but never felt the answer in science explained it all. I also do not think religion contradicts science or vice er versa.
I do think people mix up religious leaders with religion. Not the same thing at all. Just as we have bad political leaders we have bad religious leaders. No one wants to ban democracy because of corrupt politicians do they?
What ever that creative force or being or reason was I simply refer to it as God and that serves me well if I may say so. I'm happy to search for God in spiritual, physical or scientific form. What ever it takes.
Their is a unifying force or reason to it all. I'm sure we'll get there.
Festive greetings and good wishes to you all.
