The founding fathers of science viewed their craft as another way of seeking the mind of God. Over time, however, their followers replaced His thoughts with their own and began to treat God as an unwanted intruder in their enlightenment kingdom. Unwilling to give Him a fair hearing, they formed a scientific swat team and stormed the gates of heaven, pillaged the pantheon, and returned with nothing but the material elements of earth air, fire, and water. As they cleared the cultural field of religious orthodoxy, the fallow ground left behind quickly became repopulated by the noxious weeds of New Age spirituality.  Sadly, in their zeal to make the world more rational, scientists inadvertently did away with the God of rationality, and now watch in horror as the postmodern god of irrationality commands them to bend a knee at its altar.
