“The universe becomes conscious of itself in us.” - Roger Scruton
We were pleasantly surprised when we recently came across “The Return of Religion,” an article by contemporary English philosopher Roger Scruton, which we would like to share with our blog’s readers.
Scruton begins with an analysis of today’s “evangelical atheists” – the self-dissatisfied enemies of religion who try to use the advances of science to bludgeon into silence the religious impulse wherever they find it. But this impulse cannot be silenced, as Scruton explains so well. Our self-consciousness is what differentiates us from animals, and is the very image of God within us. And with this self-consciousness comes the urge to transcendence, to reach out to that greater Consciousness of which we are a part, which even the atheists cannot deny forever.
