[Loet Leydesdorff]

All worldviews begin in a miracle. No exceptions.

 

I agree. Nevertheless, we should, and can, minimize the miracle. 

 

Why would one need a worldview? The whole assumption of an order as a Given
(in a Revelation) is religious. Order is always constructed (by us) and
can/needs to be explained. 

 

No "harmonia praestabilita", but ex post. No endpoint omega. No cosmology,
but chaology.

 

With due respect for those of you who wish to hold on to religion or nature
as a given; however, vaguely defined. 

 

Best,

Loet
