“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”

And the recent Higgs Boson discoveries are incomplete.
Imagine that.
Here’s the deal from my search.
The conclusion of the “scientific” endeavor is to embrace uncertainty.
This leads you to Buddhism, and they are all for that. Secular humanism and moral relativism et al.
Just watch endless hours of Joseph Campbell as I have.
Fred Allen Wolfe has plenty to say as well.
Ultimately their logic fails, but for me, I needed to go through the process and play it out to end.
If consciousness is material, and evolution is true, then there is no such thing as “right or wrong”. They can’t escape this.
