Bert;
OK .. I wasn't attempting argument. I see the church as a relic of the past. They still have huge followings. It is extremely difficult for them to move the masses they control towards the present day. Anything that comes out of their leaders' mouths will always sound bizarre to those of us who make the choice of moving toward, or who already live in, the future.
Undoing the trail of destruction that has been brought about through a long history of misinterpretations, misrepresentations, subjugation and abuse would seem to be beyond anyone's abilities. Some of it continues in modern day as well. All this said, I do believe that some recognise that the end may be near. Others continue to bolster the fortifications. Some are still attempting to destroy that which does not comply with their flavour of it all.
Humans will always interpret what their senses detect. We are all meaning-adding machines. Science attempts to keep us from deceiving ourselves. Scientists do not have to make others wrong and put down others, purely because of their beliefs. Decisions can be made on the basis of actions and wisdom.
Technology and the tools created by science, improve understanding. They are in their infancy. Hopefully over time, more will come to see these perspectives also. Realisation of this cannot be forced.
Cheers & Rgds.
