Science today must address the mysteries of the universe in a manner that is more respectful to the intricate emotions entailed in the life of a human. For years scientific inquiry was rejected by the church, who said man was made in gods image, as we clearly are an incredibly advanced species. Understandably, this spiritual perspective was opposed as Darwin and other great thinkers came to reject it from scientific inquiry, thinking our greatness came from a slow process of natural selection. Science made a point not to be too superstitious, but rational, to seek knowledge with only the five senses by which we live. Which is why scientists can only claim we are one with nature and the animals. But what my question is to either side, (if we are animals to the scientists, or gods to the creationists) with our consciousness in all its complexity, and our intellect in all its excellence, how is it that our capacity for evil seems to have no bounds? In the era of Darwin, for the first time, animals were assailed by a frenzy of cruel and unusual experimentation. Mans new religion became science, and we sought to find evidence of ourselves in the behavior of animals. Our excuse? animals dont have souls. Ironic how the first time we identified ourselves with the animals, the animals suffered greatly. To conclude my rant, It would be nice once again to address our responsibilities to revolt, and stop excessive sacrificial torture for this worship for knowledge done by the popes in lab coats. Because If an animal doesnt have a soul, I would think its life should be all the more respected.
