Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 This is not meant to be a proof or disproof of evolution, but this is an interesting commentary on western society's tendency to reject traditional knowledge based on evolutionary paradigm. " There is thus an inescapable disrespect for cultures of the past, and inherent though subtle denigration of our present state, and a desire to get where we are going so we can finally be of worth, finally be evolved, that affects nearly all Western perspectives. This Western acceptance of the truth of evolutionary theory inevitably leads to its application in the human cultural realm. At its worst it becomes culturally sanctioned ethnocentrism or racism. As a result, any knowledge of the universe gleaned by our forefathers that comes from systems of information other than the universe-as-machine model is routinely ascribed to our ancestors' lack of evolution and summarily dismissed and discredited " (Sacred and Healing Herbal Beers, Harrod Buhner, p. 6,7). Of course, now we are playing catch up to discover truths of healing and health that preceded western society's headlong acceptance of Darwinism and other forms of cultural supremacy. -- www.goatrevolution.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
