Acorns were good until bread was found |
The non-rational Religious experience arrived as the key to the lock at
mankind's door before scientific investigation, therefore it is the
religious community which has the greater foundations for answering the
most important questions posed by the human condition.

Nobody "takes science as a religion", moron.
And why do you imagine your metaphysical questions have any relevance
outside your religion?
First, nice day to you, too. Second, there are people who push "scientism"
beyond just being a reductionist philosophy to a religious point of view.
Only in the deluded imagination of dishonest religionists who invent
an equivalence where there is none.
As I know people who look at science as a basis for their religious ideas
(they also happen to be Unitarian Universalists, as I am, which a wise open
religion that includes nonbelievers, skeptics, and others), your comment
"nobody 'takes science as a religion'" is false.
But not as a religion called "Scientism", idiot.
Don't be so contentiously stupid.

You know simile is all well and good when it is justified, but when you
start throwing around a lot of null phrases like "the human
condition" and "mankind's door" you are just talking to hear
yourself speak. Try saying something of substance so I can agree with,
or tear apart, what you say. All I could do to respond to the above
would be to generate a haiku. (A poor one.)

I will elaborate: Mankind's door could possibly mean the birthing of
consciousness, and 'the human condition' is the inescapable boundaries
of the contemplative mind which most of us possess.

Not bad, in the abstract sense.
