Maybe for now, but the time is coming when there will be a showdown between scientism and theism.

From the author of Chance and Necessity, Jacques Monod:

The cornerstone of the scientific method is the postulate that nature is objective. In other words, the systematic denial that "true" knowledge can be got at by interpreting phenomena in terms of final causes--that is to say, of "purpose."

<what does "inherent in the nature of man" mean>

Man is insignificant when compared to the universe. But yet, the universe was prepared solely for man. And there are many people. Each one is as important to the universe as the other. And since we are a part of the universe as well, then it is inherent that we show love to each other as the universe shows to us. That is my answer, and I am sticking to it.
