CIRCULAR REFERENCE
This illustration came to
mind last night; A bird sees the writings of Shakespeare, and after
bobbing around it, begins to rip out the paper and turns it into shreds
to build a nice nest. Of course, how resourceful this intelligent bird
is. So likewise another branch of evolution, monkeys to mankind studies
astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics, and morality, continually
assuming that their "facts and theories" are all reliable uses of the
materials around them; when in reality they have perverted the real
purpose of the resource. Man can no more expect to properly and
accurately understand chemistry and we can expect a bird to understand
Shakespeare, just as the bird is the circular reference to his
application, so man is the circular reference to his application, and
both are wrong.
