The Hideous Horsemen: The Black Horse

The Black Horse represents complete reliance on our human intelligence. Consider how many worship at the alter of intellect. Of course, they don't see it as worship, but is there really a whit of difference in commitment or passion between the minister preaching from the pulpit or the self-righteous professor, scientist or politician speaking from a podium? Consider the textbooks of just 30 years ago, regardless of discipline, that have had to be rewritten because of new discoveries, old theories making way for new. History is very illustrative on this point, for every generation believes they have all the answers.

A few hundred years ago if you argued the Earth was not the center of the universe you could be put to death and some were. A little over a hundred years ago the scientific community believed man would never fly and they had the data to back their contention. As late as the 1950's many of the most prominent scientific minds believed man would never survive a trip into space since crossing the Van Allen radiation belt would certainly prove fatal. Since the 1970's everything science thought it knew about dinosaurs has been turned on its head, while revelations in Quantum Mechanics in the last thirty has shaken physics, the basic laws of everything, at its foundation generating more questions than answers. Is it not the height of hubris to think that “now” we have all the answers in any area of study or science?  We ride the Black Horse when we close our minds, stop questioning, and begin collecting and herding sacred cows, shutting ourselves off from the fresh winds that drive our higher selves, stagnation in demonstration, dismissing any contrary thought or belief out of hand because just like Galileo‘s jailers, the issue, the science was settled and there was nothing left to learn.
