Aldous Huxley on Drugs, Democracy, and Religion

Might have to read the book. There is ONLY ONE TRUTH not many and I also enjoy the science tradition. However, they always oversimplify the theology which leads me to believe the evaluation is a general evaluation or based on a narrow fundamentalist view. Although science contains two of the three dynamics of Catholic tradition it is not a unified concept in the Reformed Tradition. Science and Engineering both historically serve the political structure while religion in the Reform Tradition is Protestant. The reformed churches are structured and exist as symbolic representations of the Israelite nationalistic communities at the time of Christ. Based solely on research of the various reformed writings and from a Catholic perspective, they exist totally separated and opposed to structured human knowledge systems that do not profess Christ as their savior.

The Messiah theology has been part of Jewish tradition from the beginning however there is a major difference in the perception and expectations of Messiah. Jewish apologetics on Christianity indicate that Christians would be yet another sect of Judaism except for the recognition of Christ as the promised Messiah. Despite the divergent path that believers in Christ followed, is there another more predominate element that would explain how the faith of the emerging nation transitioned into a world faith? There is an element of Judaism that it is so profound that scripture does not expanded on it and that is also contained in other ancient belief systems. In addition, can there be an inherent design to Judaism that has caused this large scale fragmentation of thought? Although biology has chosen to speak in a language that professes no belief in God does its perception also validate ancient beliefs that exist in our humanity? In the Jewish scriptural tradition the oneness of God is so profound that scripture writings never have a beginning. In terms of a modern writing style they never contain the first chapter because everything was one.
