Columnist: Cult worship

From the article:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moreover, among those not Christian, there is a secondary majority of
other religious believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc. While some may
entertain antagonisms towards the Christian faith, it is again
inconceivable that many wish the triumph of an explicitly atheist
force, dedicated to the eradication of all traditional religion.

To those who know some history, the modern sciences emerged in an
unambiguously Christian milieu. They flourished, over centuries in the
West, as the direct result of the Judaeo-Christian teaching that "God
does not contradict Himself." The whole notion of unalterable physical
laws, and thus a universal order that will repay inquiry, is the
product of a theological position unique to the West. It is a view
that has been glimpsed in other civilizations, but could only be
doggedly pursued in this one.

By contrast, an atheistical view involves no such dogma; and the
prevailing Darwinist scientistic view involves an actual
self-contradiction so glaring that it cannot withstand a moment's
review. For it claims to explain order by the chance accumulation of
random events. Such a view is itself in revolt against a tradition
which found reason in nature and an answering reason in man.
