What significance do philosophy, religion, and science have to offer us as a species?
Part II of II
What is the significance of our species to reality and Reality?
Do we have an active role to play in terms of what lies beyond our universe?
We do not have a universal philosophy in place that brings together the most basic and cherished perceptions, tenets, axioms, and principles religions, science, and philosophy use as the base of their perceptions.
The process of fusing the most basic perceptions to which the fields of religion, science, and philosophy adhere will allow the development of a means to resolve the basic differences dividing us.
Until we join the three in a united front, accepting the concept of ourselves belonging to something greater than ourselves, we will most likely never provide a united front as a species.
•
The concept of ‘united we stand, divided we fall’ does not apply only to geographical territories.
It applies to us as a species. Religion, science, and philosophy must unite.
Their union will provide not only a source of strength to individuals of our species, but to our species as a whole.
We will be struggling for our survival in the vastness of space.
As long as our species stays clustered upon one planet, we remain susceptible to any number of catastrophes capable of annihilating our total species.
We will need all the strength of faith, all the absoluteness of observation, and all the logic of reason we can gather together in order to survive not only the random species-threatening events that occur throughout nature, but also the intentional acts that may occur – humanly generated or otherwise.
