"Religions have a past orientation to authority. All truth has been delivered at some point in the past. Science is future oriented with increasingly refined approximations of truth delivered in a participatory process. Those seeking certainty are past oriented, those seeking understanding are future oriented. Those seeking authority are past oriented, and those seeking participatory deliberations and collective reasoning are future oriented. Never has the conflict between these two fundamental orientations been more critical to our survival. The past cannot hold answers for problems that have never confronted us before. If we are to have a future, we must relinquish our nostalgic fixation upon the past, with its paternalistic authoritarians and delusions of certainty. Time to grow up as a species, or consign ourselves to being an evolutionary dead end."
