Relatively Speaking: "Religion goes quietly on
and Science is in full swing for now."

Take a look at the proportion of entries in the right and left columns. Initially there is much more to record in terms of the Scriptures and the biblical activities centering on the Hebrews. While the religious communities of the world are never entirely silent... the left column — reflecting primarily secular and science activity — begins to take a greater presence.

The observation is simple... but keep in mind that even as technology advancements are likely to continue at an ever expansive rate... the right column comes back on line in a big way at the end of the time line. We swing from side to side as the weight shifts... certainly a key transition along time to take note of... hope you see this as you look back and forward along the time line.

As you do this, think about what events and attitudes within the sphere of human activity make for the change back to the right side of the chart. The exercise of building a holistic paradigm — presented elsewhere within WindowView — is in part a process of getting us all to look at shifts along time in terms of a global change perspective.

If you have not taken time to explore the many avenues of change that are now being traveled by humankind, we recommend a visit to our subsection featuring specific articles on a wide array of global change topics. Meanwhile, keep an eye out for change at work in the world today and think how this plays a part in the way events unfold in time!
