Vetenskap & Religion: Sam Harris om den värdelösa teologin

2007-07-13

 

Sam Harris

"Imagine that we could revive a well-educated Christian of the fourteenth century. The man would prove to be a total ignoramus, except on matters of faith. His beliefs about geography, astronomy, and medicine would embarass even a child, but he would know more or less everything there is to know about God. Though he would be considered a fool to think that the earth is the center of the cosmos, or that trepanning constitutes a wise medical invention, his religious ideas would still be beyond reproach."
