Science was observable truth, as opposed to doctrinal creeds in print. From this perspective, religious followers -- and the nations they comprised -- were blind believers, and therefore considered less intelligent. By comparison, secularized nations would have certainly considered themselves superior in this sense and allowed them to act with the conviction that the "knew better" how to govern nations and use other nations' lands better than the natives. They could easily convince themselves following this line of thinking that they even had a right to invade (since they were more intelligent and more powerful) or an obligation to civilize less intelligent peoples by conquering them.Liz Realihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724134340718059130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179708735520151974.post-42869383562652567672009-10-23T16:48:33.558-04:002009-10-23T16:48:33.558-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Liz Realihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724134340718059130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179708735520151974.post-60574785056283442832009-10-23T16:04:32.775-04:002009-10-23T16:04:32.775-04:00sorry this is late piotr- the website was not lett...sorry this is late piotr- the website was not letting me post last night or this morning for some reasonAlicia Quebralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100689787853385411noreply@blogger.com
