Truth Science Religion & Politics in The Here & Now

The Truth, these days seems to be debatable

even when discussing age old facts, such as the solar system, With all of the new technology available to us, we see it used as an argument for such ignorant concepts as a "flat Earth". No wonder that we now see a comic book villain as the leader of the US, with an unbelievable mixture of religion, politics, and criminal behavior. Soon there will be no one that gives a damn about reality except for those of us who no longer have a voice, or for that matter, a Democracy. I commend Sir David Attenborough for retaining his integrity, for producing the best Nature Documentaries, and especially for expressing what he believes in... The Truth

Expressing an opinion on science or religion, in today's polarized world, seems to require a knowledge of politics. The powers that be seem to be obsessed with the future and going boldly "where no man has gone before. "Move Forward" they say, without bothering to understand the history that has brought us here.

Philosophically speaking, the broad concept of history is about something that can be defined as "There & Then", an important study that has, in recent times, became a matter of speculation. Although, while everything that we experience is happening in the "Here & Now", the future has become the playground for money managers and venture capitali$m, where time is measured in nanoseconds and truth is measured by those who claim authority. The future can also be defined as "There & Then", an uncertain place in time and space, that cannot be perceived by mortal man.

 I once read an analogy concerning this, where three bags were mentioned. One was the past, another was the now, and the third was the future, where it become apparent that the middle bag will soon be filled. Needless to mention, were I to become religious, that Buddhism would be a good choice. I say this with hesitation, because of my use of the word "I".
