‘To the Illuminati,’ he said, his voice deepening, ‘and to those of science, let me say this.’ He paused. ‘You have won the war.’
‘The wheels have been in motion for a long time,’ the camerlengo said. ‘Your victory has been inevitable. Never before has it been as obvious as it is at this moment. Science is the new God.’
‘Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation… these are the miracles about which we now tell our children. These are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and parting seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science has won the battle. We concede.’
‘But science’s victory,’ the camerlengo added, his voice intensifying, ‘has cost every one of us. And it has cost us deeply.’

‘Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed. Science proclaims the Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident.’ He paused. ‘even the technology that promises to unite us divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone. We are bombarded with violence, division, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism has become enlighten thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated then they have at any point in human history? Does science hold anything sacred? Science looks for answers by probing out unborn fetuses. Science even presumes to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters God’s world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning… and all it finds is more question.

‘you have won. But you have not won fairly. You have not won by providing answers. You have won by radically reorienting our society that the truths we once saw as signposts now seem inapplicable. Religion cannot keep up. Scientific growth is exponential. It feeds on itself like a virus. Every new breakthrough opens doors for new breakthroughs. Mankind took thousands of years to progress from wheel to car. Yet only decades from the car into space. Now we measure scientific progress in weeks. We are spinning out of control.’
