One of the persistent themes of these columns, especially over the last couple of years, might be abbreviated to, "Scientism versus Christianity." It is a way of looking at the postmodern revolution that has swept through all Western societies in the last few decades. I say "postmodernism" because it is the fulfilment of a much older "modernist" project, going back centuries: to replace the authority of the Christian religion with some "enlightened" human authority.
But, haven't we just been, like, kind of taking your word for it that there IS an authority of the Christian religion? Because, well, hasn't it usually been a human telling us what's up with God, too?
