I've been reading Fertility from the Ocean Deep over the past few days.

Right in the beginning of the book they discuss something that has reminded me of the struggle for truth in our world these past few years.

We have probably all learned about Louis Pasteur in school... how he discovered germs and that they contaminate everything and how we need to kill them to make our food safe.

Well... I didn't know also at that time was a guy by the name Antoine Beauchamp who argued that micro organisms in natural foods are an important component of what we eat and necessary for health.

But the majority and the policy went to Pasteur and we ended up with did that had "food" that had been made devoid of life and dead soils in our quest to "purify" everything. Microorganisms are necessary for life.

I was also thinking of the parallels for command vs. market economies. It's about man wanting central control vs. nature and God's system design and plans.
