Philosophy
Science and philosophy proved that reason was insufficient in determining absolutes - this led to the feeling that there were no standards other than human ones.
But what was really proven was that human reason was inadequate - not reason.
Science vs Tao
Q: Surely science and the Tao (the Way) are compatible. For they both reveal the truth.
A: Science has no Truth. Tao has all Truth. This is how it must always be with opposites - all or nothing. Thus my intellectual conscience demands.
Though let me say this: Tao includes science, but science does not include the Tao. In other words, science is a part of the Infinite, but the Infinite has nothing to do with science. Science is only true when seen from the perspective of the Tao. If you put fifty zeros after a one, you get a very large number; but erase that one and nothing remains. It is the one that makes the many. So I tell you: first the Kingdom of God!
