Jonathan:

We appear to be heading straight into an age of ignorance where reason is put to one side and belief and faith based on ancient writings becomes supreme. How did we get here and where is it taking us? One has to question the role of religious organisations have in running schools and so forth. My life has been in the sciences and all of this appears to me to be a drive backwards into some sort of medieval twilight.
