In response to Raul's Interesting post
Is humanity's ultimate goal to become scientific,logical, rational thinkers?
1. One of the cardinal rules of science is looking at hard evidence before attempting to compose a theory. Judging by human behaviors in the present and in the past we are not solely rational thinkers.
2.After the atom bombs that were detonated in Japan in WWII one of the consequences was exposing unborn fetuses to abnormally high rates of radiation. In this delicate state of development, the fetuses were either sponatneously aborted or if they survived born with scaly reptilian skin.
3.It seems we go through all stages of previous evolutionary development before arriving at our present genetic makeup.
4.If this is true there is still a part of our brain that is reptilian, aviary, primate and so forth...
5.Scientists that observe these species say (especially the primatologists) that they follow certain natural laws. But socially the primates (our closest genetic cousins) are fairly irrational about many things.
Humans in the past and in the present have exhibited with alarming regularity their illogical,unscientific side of thinking, (facetiously speaking this includes a certain hillbilly from Bairoa). Can we extrapolate then Raul that humans are not destined to be logical? Who's going to win the battle between logic and emotion (passion) in the human mind. To end facetiously on a question, Raul, what's our future....Mr. Spock or Bones "Dr.McCoy"? Love to hear from you. Suki.
