There Is an Amusing Irony in Noting That…

There is an amusing irony in noting that the result of the attempt to impose a scientific view of the world as the only acceptable one has been an exponential increase in all kinds of anti-scientific doctrines. The last two centuries have revived every mysticism that has ever been invented from the north to the south of the planet. And if any of them have not yet shown signs of a vigorous revival, it is only a matter of time. These areas are now experiencing unprecedented progress, some of them after centuries of slumber. What does this mean? The obvious: science is incapable of uttering a sentence that feeds man’s longing for meaning. The more it wants to be sovereign, the more it tries to impose itself, the more it reveals its own impotence and encourages souls in need of meaning to seek it elsewhere. It will not be long before it begins to arouse widespread laughter; then, perhaps, it will remember its true value.
