Our credo, "Better Living Through Chemistry," has led to our efforts to control Nature with toxic petrochemicals. In addition to terrorizing the world’s human population, scientific ―progress‖ has terrorized Mother Nature herself. Modern science has led the world to shift from spiritual aspirations to a war for material accumulation. Darwinism leaves humanity without a moral compass.Ī mechanical Newtonian Universe in combination with Darwin’s theory of random evolution disconnects us from Nature and spirit, while legitimizing the exploitation and degradation of our fellow humans and the environment. Additionally, Darwinism emphasizes that evolution is based on "the survival of the fittest in the struggle for existence." For science, the end of the evolution struggle is simply represented by "survival." As for the means to that end, apparently anything goes. Darwinian theory removed the last link between God, spirit and the human experience. Accordingly, we evolved by pure "chance," which by extension means: without an underlying purpose for our existence. Darwin’s theory further exacerbates the situation by suggesting that humans evolved through the happenstance of random genetic mutations. In the wake of Newtonian theory, with the Hand of God out of the way, society has been preoccupied with dominating and controlling Nature. As importantly, the predictive success of Newtonian theory, emphasizing the primacy of a physical Universe, made the existence of spirit and God an extraneous hypothesis that offered no explanatory principles needed by science. Science ignores the spiritual realm because it is not amenable to scientific analysis.

Modern science is predicated on "truth" verified through accurate observation and measurements of physical world phenomena. These failed beliefs represent the ―Four Assumptions of the Apocalypse,‖ for they are driving human civilization to the brink of extinction. These flawed assumptions include: 1) The Newtonian vision of the primacy of a physical, mechanical Universe 2) Genes control biology 3) Evolution resulted from random genetic mutations and 4) Evolution is driven by a struggle for the survival-of-the-fittest.

New science revises four fundamental beliefs that shape civilization. This new awareness is shattering old myths and rewriting the ―truths‖ that shape the character of human civilization. Albert Einstein wisely proffered, "We cannot solve the problems with the same thinking that created them." Consequently, the planet’s hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science. Our way of life is wreaking havoc in the global community and our survival is now in question.Ĭrises are harbingers of evolution. Unlike the first five massive die-offs, attributed to physical causes such as life-destroying geological upheavals and the impact of comets and asteroids, the current wave of extinctions is due to a source much closer to home: human behavior. Scientists acknowledge that the current degradation of the environment and the massive loss of species, are evidence that we are deep into the sixth mass extinction to hit Earth since the origin of life. The current panoply of global crises collectively reveals we are facing our own extinction.

We are on the threshold of an incredible global evolutionary shift. The challenges and crises facing the world today are portents of imminent change in civilization.
