“Human beings began to do philosophy, even as they do now, because of wonder, at first because they wondered about the strange things right in front of them, and then later, advancing little by little, because they came to find greater things puzzling.”

Aristotle – Metaphysics

We have just completed our Consideration of Book I: “Dualism – Understanding the Patterns of Reality” and are Currently Considering Book II: “The Power of Three – Understanding Reality Through Science & Religion.”

Many are concerned with whether science or religion is the true path to wisdom and enlightenment. However, the real question should be “why do human beings use both to bring turmoil and violence into the world?” Christianity, a religion founded on peace, sacrifice, and forgiveness, becomes a source for war, power, and retribution. Science, an empirical discipline created to explore the mysteries of the universe, becomes the source for weapons of mass destruction capable of destroying those very mysteries. The question of truth and wisdom is not the domain of either science or religion; it is ultimately the domain of the human mind. Perhaps, we should consider starting there, first.”
