Wrong kettle wrong pot same old color blindness.

It is kind of interesting to note that those who cannot stop harping on logic and critical thinking, not to mention facts, end up with the same irrational reactionary convictions they started out with after supposedly applying them to their convictions. It is obvious that such a supposition is misplaced. What often happens is that Instead of focusing on their own convictions, they selectively go after the weak links in the object of their wrath. These weak links are invariable as a result of add-ons and can be outed with the minimum of research. But instead of an objective approach, they go for the easy outcome and feel satisfied that what they have as an alternative must be the conclusion that such selective criticism leads to.

And it is no different when the object of their wrath is Islam, the focus on the weak links take the same predictable shape, manufactured and on-demand distortions. These distortions both new and ancient have the same old objective; to gain power and make money off the unsuspecting masses. Those who are duped into believing these lies, both Muslims and non-Muslim are often the ones paying through their noses to their respective handlers.

But it seems we are witnessing the beginning of the end for Materialistic ideology? It had its short run and even managed to gain a small following and a handful predictably made money off the followers, lots of money. But the inherent weaknesses exposed the core as was predicted by many. And the core is saying, "we don't know and we are unlikely to ever know" to the most fundamental questions man has been asking and getting answers to outside the Materialistic worldview.

The latest attempt to put a brave face on its failure by promoting "pride in not knowing" had no traction, to begin with, because human beings don't tolerate any notion of freezing the idea of inquiry on one hand and are least interested in an inquiry that leads to not knowing on the other. Similarly, the perusal of a notion that is devoid of any enduring philosophical interest is arguably worthless.  Ironically it is science, the very "column" the whole ideology was supposed to be based on has come back to sting it into oblivion. The advances in science have easily exposed both the "random" and "selfish" gene and the seriously problematic "something from nothing" cosmos nonsense.

Paradoxically it is the end of the beginning for the scientific validation of the ontologically solid concept of a Creator. This argument for the existence of God is backed by solid mathematics. There are a number of validations on offer and scientists in greater number are beginning to take notice. There are a few surprises on the way as well and it is more than likely that the two faces of logos may converge to its original state, sooner than expected.
