I totally agree.

"Science" simply has no method to deal with spiritual matters that are so central to ordinary human experience, "the human condition," which seems to be universal as far back as human historical experience goes, cross-culturally.

What post-modernism is trying to do, it seems to me, is to expunge this living history from human memory for all subsequent time....

Man's experience counts for nothing; God counts for nothing..... Thus nothing can mean anything.

And God's free and rational creatures are supposed to live in a situation like this?

Rational creatures, it seems to me, cannot do such a thing.

Thank you so very much, dear shibumi, for your penetrating insights!
