As long as certainty is derived from empirical analysis (as opposed to
"holy scriptures"/ self-serving Predator PR), it is okay. Feel free to
present evidence to the contrary...
> War, Famine, Disease, are not (only) "religious concepts".
I didn't claim that. I said the "four horsemen" (your words) is a religious
concept. War, famine and the spread of disease in our modern society are
MAN-MADE, not "natural forces". And you still didn't explain why and how
bioweapons development etc. is supposed to be a "natural force".
At best, one could claim that "social Darwinism" is a "natural force"
within societies. ("Homo homini lupus" -- another self-serving Predator
slogan in which the Predators name themselves quite literally!) However,
in modern _civilized_ societies, there is no place for "social Darwinism"
-- progress has overcome that. "Darwin Award" nominees(*) can still remove
themselves from the gene pool, but murder is not acceptable.
(*) A funny case was in the local news this morning: A hobby cave-man was
sports-fishing at a small river when he threw up the fishing line so high
that it touched a small powerline above him, electrocuting the cave-man.
Well, in the stone age, at least there were no powerlines around!
> Nothing else to say. Thanks for thinking so highly of me! ;-)
To err (or to believe in stone-age PR) is human... but I think you could
transcend that belief. ;-)
