"If you try to get your hands on time, it's always slipping through your fingers," says Barbour. "People are sure time is there, but they can't get hold of it. My feeling is that they can't get hold of it because it isn't there at all." Barbour speaks with a disarming English charm that belies an iron resolve and confidence in his science. His extreme perspective comes from years of looking into the heart of both classical and quantum physics. Isaac Newton thought of time as a river flowing at the same rate everywhere. Einstein changed this picture by unifying space and time into a single 4-D entity. But even Einstein failed to challenge the concept of time as a measure of change.
A dogma is a set of principles laid down by some authority you respect above all others
So now the question becomes, in my way of thinking, what set of axioms are the "right" set to have?

Religions are control systems, no doubt, but they keep global tyranny in an incoherent state. Could you imagine how dangerous it would be if only one religious system existed...one unified control system? It would be like the Tower of Babel.
If humanity woke up tomorrow and unanimously forgot that religion existed, it wouldn't be long until someone, somewhere created a new one. It would spread fast, like a virus, and that that virus would soon merge with politics and become a fascist beast.
I'm afraid religion is a necessary evil. With as much tyranny as it breeds, it prevents the fulfilment of global tyranny. As long as there are multiple religious systems, there will be no NWO.

Seek and you shall find. Ask and you shall receive.
You wont find anything if you're not looking for it.
Everyone has their own dogma. And my dogma is the only right one! The rest of you are insane! Prove me wrong and I will call you teacher.

Why is one religion any better than any other?

Then perhaps if one stops seeking, stops asking, and stops looking: they could find nothing?
