‘Humanities, Sciences: Radically Different but Vital Enterprises’

While I agree, in principle, with the thought that the humanities are not necessarily better or worse than the sciences, I cannot help but to conclude that the sciences are more reprehensible.

No, not the laws of the universe (which include the laws of physics), but, rather, how those laws have been manipulated by men of “progressive” science.

I suppose you can call it “progress” when you compare the crude implements of war our earliest ancestors used with the indescribable weapons of destruction currently possessed by the superpowers. I suggest that the term “scientific progression” is synonymous with “social regression.”

I seriously doubt that mankind need fear that the music of Bach or Mozart, or the paintings and sculptures of Michelangelo will someday make our earthly home a lifeless, burned out cinder.
