”We start with a mutual acknowledgment of the profound complexity of living systems,” said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard. But ‘’my expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention.”
Without divine intervention? This is the reason for OOL (origin of life) research… It seems science has found a motive and philosophy.
Some who always have had a motive and a philosophy may have found science.
This is why I find the Boston Globe article rather fascinating. It has fallen into the chasm. In human affairs this is often the case. The story coming out of Harvard seems to be different from what we are told by our friends who defend science. Let us not flail them for this, however. Science is worth defending. A re-ordering and a re-alignment may be in the offing, but it will take years to unfold.
