[So why do Moderns constantly imagine that God and nature are exclusive?<\/p>\n
Well, they want to deny that the moral religious and the philosophical natural nested forms intersect.\u00a0 They do so in a very entertaining way:<\/p>\n
Modern Progressives parody the exclusion of divine causation that is fundamental to modern science.<\/p>\n
For modern science, this exclusion limits the realm of scientific knowledge to Peirce\u2019s category of Secondness: that is, to brute force, cause and effect, and dyadic interactions.\u00a0 Even chaos theory, where a single event can yield dramatically different outcomes (depending on the initial conditions) is scientific in this regard.<\/p>\n
In order to parody this, Modern Genius starts by overlaying the distinct actualities of \u201ca methodological exclusion of divine action (that limits scientific knowledge to the study of actuality2<\/sub> alone)\u201d and \u201cscientific advance\u201d, with the apparent opposites of \u201csuperstition\u201d and \u201creason\u201d.<\/p>\n “Exclusion of divine action” is paired with “against superstition”.<\/p>\n “Scientific advance” is paired with “reason”.<\/p>\n Only one more association is needed: Christianity is \u201csuperstition\u201d and Modern Progressivism is \u201creason\u201d.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [So why do Moderns constantly imagine that God and nature are exclusive?
