We have the moral understanding of an ignorant savage of 2000 years ago, but the science and power of a modern nuclear age. Our physical science has advanced, but our moral science has not. The reason we are on the verge of nuclear suicide is because our scientific advance gave us power, but our failure to advance in a religious moral sense did not give us the ability to control our actions for our own benefit. This exposes us to terrible dangers. We have the moral understanding of an ignorant savage of 2000 years ago, but the science and power of a modern nuclear age.
Mankind is like a five year old child playing with a loaded gun.
Yet, even in this preposterous predicament, foolish nihilists tell us that good and evil are myths. Good is what maintains and improves the consciousness of the universe. Evil is what destroys that consciousness. Nothing can destroy that consciousness but itself. We determine by our actions today all that we can ever do tomorrow.
