It’s interesting.
There was a conversation I heard where two people were conversing about how the earth came about and why that matters today. Whatever your position on the matter is, it’s still interesting to know what people believe and why they believe it. I’m not against science or scientists, but the way one of the people in the conversation were raving about the scientific perspective was intriguing. It gave the impression that there was a clear and universally approved scientific explanation for the origins of everything. That impression was interesting, because I didn’t know the scientific community could be that easily simplified. Even if it could be simplified that easily I was wondering where was the force of their authority?
I appreciate that other approaches to answering that question of the origins have the same challenge about the authority. Why should we take that on as the truth? Not only why should we take it on as the truth, but what does that mean for us today?
There is an allure to being able to reach answers by ourselves and have answers that revolves around our ever expanding desire for knowledge. What happens, however, if we are not the ultimate authority on the matter?
Can we really afford to live just off someone’s opinion?
