The War in Heaven Darwinia doctrine has always been an impertinent imposition on spiritual and metaphysical imagination by those in search of power. Doctrine not only stops the development of religious thought, it also promotes anti-religious sentiment that limits understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the meaning of our existence in the universe. Darwinia is a brilliant exposition of the insanity as well as inanity of doctrinal formulation and enforcement. Its premise is that the theory The War in Heaven Darwinia doctrine has always been an impertinent imposition on spiritual and metaphysical imagination by those in search of power. Its premise is that the theory of evolution has been successfully suppressed by religious interests until The Miracle occurs. Significantly, however, the book is not anti-religious but also suggests the authentic, Darwinia humanly essential, poetic possibilities of religion. It is not incidental that the book starts inthat is, at the height of the Darwinia movement in the United States. Nor, finally, is it merely fictional convenience that the story centres on the re-exploration of the European continent, the cultural powerhouse of Christianity. Darwinia is a fantasy incorporating these three themes with great theological punch. Doctrine kills religious imagination. It treats imagination as an algorithm. It substitutes a shared vocabulary and grammar for the intimate communication of religious experience. It insists Darwinia all religious experience be expressed in this vocabulary as if it were divinely rather than humanely created. Doctrine stops the evolution of religious Darwinia and therefore of collective religious awareness. Darwinia, doctrine deprives human beings of the ability not only to express but even to have religious experience. It gives religion a bad name. Religious doctrine, consequently, inhibits the evolution of the species, particularly its capacity for Darwinia for mutual benefit. Think about the development of the musical symphony. Darwinia Papa Darwinia had been the doctrinal head of the European musical establishment in the late 18th century, and had declared his preferred symphonic form, and Darwinia that of Mozart and a few others, as the definitive and perfected expression of musical art. His followers might have gone on to prescribe the Darwinia instruments, permissible harmonies, the limits of interpretation and embellishment within this form. The Darwinia Why God would plant such misleading evidence for human beings to ponder about is, according to this view, just one of the divine mysteries. Because of events recounted in the book, Fundamentalism becomes the politically correct form of religion in the Darwinia America of Darwinia. Darwinia fact, a futuristic Interlude recasts both the events which provoked the fashion for Darwinia, as Darwinia as the entire trajectory of sentient existence. This Interlude tells a creatively imaginative tale about human Darwinia and spiritual destiny which is simply beyond the capacity of such doctrinal religionists to imagine. The discoveries made by the expedition parallel those of Teilhard de Chardin during his work in China at approximately the same time. It follows on from Darwinia bare geosphere of non-living matter, Darwinia from the subsequent biosphere in which living beings have penetrated to every corner of the geosphere, transforming Darwinia into a cradle of self-development. All is contained in the ontosphere, the realm Darwinia existence. It consists of Darwinia shared knowledge, and our awareness of this knowledge, as Darwinia dependent upon but distinct from the matter, both living and non-living from which it has emerged. Teilhard considered this as pointing Darwinia a phenomenon Darwinia cosmic not just earthly import: The progressive spiritualisation of the universe. This is Darwinia the situation described in the Interlude. Teilhard considered that this process of the transformation of matter into thought has Darwinia final objective. He called this the Omega Point, a teleological terminus for all of creation. The Interlude suggests that the Omega Point is far beyond the time of the inevitable heat death of solar Darwinia, galaxies, and even the suspension of the Higgs field from which matter Darwinia. Time advances more and Darwinia slowly until it stops entirely. Thought is the cosmic resistance to this physical entropy. The American Darwinia, C. Peirce, had anticipated Teilhard by half a century when he defined truth as that which would be known just before the end of sentient life in the universe. Darwinia his philosophy, this final goal is a necessary presumption of science, indeed of any inquiring mind. It also suggests a force exerted by the Omega Point backwards, as it were, in time and affecting events in the present. This is the force exploited by Wilson in his fantasy in a remarkably interesting way. Teilhard was of course condemned as a heretic by the fundamentalist bullies in his own Catholic Church. The Fundamentalists went on to become the Moral Majority and Evangelical Republicans, still trying to make the rest of us conform to their myopic vision 0f reality. There are always Fundamentalists who want to turn the imagination, and religion with it, into an algorithm. The war never ends. View Darwinia 19 comments. An interesting premise that at first seems unlikely to be fully explained in the good, mysterious way is later unraveled in one of the most Darwinia and ridiculous revelations I've encountered in a long time. But then we started to spend more time with the cringing, tedious caricature of a woman that is Law's erstwhile wife, Caroline; more time Darwinia the ever-weirder sideplot about Elias Vale and his possession by god-bug; and finally, way, WAY too much time on the insanity of a plot revelation that is The Archive. In total honesty, I first picked Darwinia book up after being intrigued by the title and sublime artwork, and continuing to be intrigued by the fragments of plot I gathered from the summary. Even though Darwinia a book by its cover often turns Darwinia swimmingly for me, in this case I Darwinia to consider that the old saw might be right. But my God -- that cover is still a beautiful thing. Are you familiar with the simulation argument? If not, for sure you have seen The Matrix. In Darwinia last few years, the Darwinia that we are living in a simulated reality is more and more debated. But Darwinia did this 20 Darwinia ago, in this gem of a story.

But when the lights fade out, everything returns to normal on Earth, except that Europe with Darwinia its cities, people, flora, fauna vanished and had been replaced Darwinia a wild continent emerged straight from the Paleozoic era.
