This reminds me of the rationale the current American
administration is using to promote their genocidal occupa-
tion of Iraq. Science, in it's neutral production of very
powerful techniques, is a double edged sword. You need
to look a little more closely at its effects on the planet.

I think the Bible has been the most important inspiration
for art and literature in the western world, no? and religion
in general, worldwide? Only a few authors, like Pynchon, are
good at working it into their art.
