“tortured and twisted to fit... by evil men”
I had in mind the Stalins,Sangers,Lenins,Pol Pots, and a whole host of socialist western politicians that are intellectually enfeebling their nations so that their peoples grope blindly without vision having been readied for enslavement.
Governments who engineer the whole sale slaughter of undesirable people groups, I tend to call “evil”. Individuals who apply a pseudo scientific sophistry in support of the abortion and sterilization of undesired people groups, bastardizing true science, I tend to call evil! When science is twisted to support a leftist agenda in the name of the threats of global warming, I call the folks doing that evil, especially when they lead the less scientifically grounded astray! I hate the leftist/socialist politicization of science because it has leading our world into great evil.
I am a fan of pure science guided by personal honesty and integrity. I am a fan of the unsung heros, the scientists who realize they have spent a few years of time going down a blind alley, and admit it because even in failure they have contributed greatly to general knowledge.
The world of science has been co-opted in many areas as it has no restraining ethic other than the voluntary personal ethics of the practitioners. Thus we have the Hansen types(director of Nasa) who quite regularly call for political leftist change based on his twisted notions of global warming.
I am a Christian and a fan of science, but more importantly a fan of reason. Reason has limits as she enforces personal honesty but she can not help bridge epistomological gaps between knowledge and objects. Faith and hope ultimately bridge those gaps and as for one’s sense of meaning and direction in life, charity can provide instruction and ethical reinforcement!
