Changes

'''8.'''I'd just like to mention what I've learned in this course. Due in part to the [[creationist]] chronology in the first lecture, I've begun to study the creation-[[evolution]] issue, which has fascinating social, political, and historical elements as well as scientific ones. Based partly on the amazing insight of the Classical philosophers and mathematicians, I have started to think that rather than becoming ever more intelligent, that the human mind is actually experiencing progressive devolution, and that the more we discover, the less we are able to think and do things on our own and for ourselves. I have seen more clearly the connection between abandonment of faith and rise in violence and cruelty. I have learned once again that faith is greater than submission and freedom is greater than suppression. And the rest, of course, is [[history]].
