Did European science lead to "desacredization" of reality

[Anonymous No.9026877]

do you agree with Russel Means

""The process began much earlier. Newton, for example, "revolutionized" physics and the so-called natural sciences by reducing the physical universe to a linear mathematical equation. Descartes did the same thing with culture. John Locke did it with politics, and Adam Smith did it with economics. Each one of these "thinkers" took a piece of the sacredity of human existence and converted it into code, an abstraction. They picked up where Christianity ended: they "secularized" Christian religion, as the "scholars" like to say--and in doing so they made Europe more able and ready to act as an expansionist culture. Each of these intellectual revolutions served to abstract the European mentality even further, to remove the wonderful complexity and sacredity from the universe and replace it with a logical sequence: one, two, three. Answer! "

The universe as a whole is kind of complicated. Working with abstractions makes it easier to study. However you need to be carefull that you dont fuck up and end up with an abstraction that doesnt match reality.

No. Also Newtons laws don't necessarily lead to linear equations (obviously) the equation of motion of a simple pendulum is good enough to see that.
