Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad as Fish" data-source="post: 94681" data-attributes="member: 396">But has mankind ever been as aware of the sheer vastness of its ignorance as it is now?Presently, we find ourselves with marvellous tools of discovery, as we never have possessed before, and yet those engaged in genuine scientific endeavour become more deeply aware that we know so little. Past philosophers might never have experienced this doubt, their art was trying to make sense of the world as they knew it and  it was made of two basic  elements, the real and the spiritual,My argument is that now we can recognise a space between these two parts, a chasm full of knowledge that we have yet to assimilate. That is not a cope mechanism, it is a thirst to know more, to give reason to what we see and experience about us.Ascribing events and situations to deities because no other explanation was forthcoming is as old as man’s recorded history itself.</blockquote>
