Being well versed in the fundamentals is NOT the same as hold a rigid belief system where all the answers are already known and there is nothing new to learn, and seek out something new is considered heresy. Furthermore - a mechanic is not the same job as a scientist, and thus have a very criteria and standards of action. Mechanics operate on things scientists have already created / proven. A scientists job is to seek deeper understands and new ways to view things. Not the same job. Not the same criteria for success. Scientists are not technicians. Its that same confusion between knowledge and belief again. There is no fundamentalism when it comes to knowledge. Facts are. No need to be fundamental or progressive or liberal with knowledge. You can only be a fundamentalist in the realm of belief. > >> That said - I would hazard a guess the these A.D.S.Fs are responsible for a >> lot less bloodshed, repression, and general world malaise, than a few of the >> theist ones I could name. > > Yeah, like those great theists Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Mugabe, Mandela, and > Hitler. Hitler had a belief in a deity. Mandela has a belief in a deity ( there are many quotes from him on the importance of religion , personally and in a culture) . I'm pretty sure Mugabe too, but I have to check to make sure. (I know he was a radical Marxist for a while, but I seem to recall something about him calling himself a committed Christian later on, but again - I have to look into it) > > <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> > DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER > ========== > CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
