Re: BHA: Re: <fwd> S.J. Gould on new genome findings



Catweasle prophesied.

William Blake, The Book of Urizen ('your reason', i.e. instrumental
rationality)

Chapter II Urizen announces his principles:

'I have sought for a joy without pain,
For a solid without fluctuation...

'Lo! I unfold my darkness, and on
This rock place, with strong hand, the Book
Of Eternal Brass, written in my solitude:

'Laws of peace, of love, of unity,
Of pity, compassion, forgiveness:
Let each choose one habitation,
His ancient infinite mansion,
One command, one joy, one measure,
One King, one God, one Law.'

This is the religion of reductionism.

Mervyn
