"The Bahá'í writings propose that divine revelation is more comprehensive than conventional wisdom will currently allow, and certainly more relevant to worldly affairs than society has tolerated in recent decades. These writings further suggest that unadulterated divine revelation on the one hand,and authentic scientific enterprise on the other, are–-and have always been–-complementary processes that will eventually be harmonized and integrated. Needless to say an upsurge in religious fanaticism and the accelerating mixture of cultures and religions throughout the globe has only ramified an already challenging—yet promising—prospect."Rick Harmsen, "The Coming Synthesis: Baha'i Scholarship in an Age of Conflict and Controversy"
It takes time for new, revolutionary thinking to take hold. This sounds promising, and quite evolutionary in its scope.
