The Ten Commandments and Science Fiction, a Sunday Sermon

Neither today’s picture nor today’s title has anything to do with today’s topic, or maybe they are  right on target– read on, and decide for yourself:

We have been taught all our lives that actions have consequences; that what you do today will determine what happens in the future.  Whether it’s Mom’s warning about running with scissors, the “Click it or Ticket” campaign, or the preacher’s admonition to welcome Jesus into our hearts or go to Hell, we are constantly bombarded with (and generally accept as true) examples of the actions of today determining our tomorrow.

Now, Empirical Science, in the form of Quantum Physics, is going that one better. 

Stating as fact ideas that wouldn’t have qualified as believable science fiction just a few years ago, they tell us that things we do in the future will affect our past.  (Click)

WHAT!

In an effort to preserve the remnants of my sanity,  I offer the following observations:

• These same scientists teach that observation skews reality. What you see ain’t necessarily what you get.
• Whenever Science combines with Philosophy it encroaches on Religion and the outcome is almost never satisfactory to any of the three.
• It seems the more we learn the less we understand.  Conversely, the more we think we understand, the more we realize how little we know.
