Chiropractic and Purpose

The great genius Stephen Hawkins says that "We are determined (that is have purose in our life and in our existance) but since we do not know for what, we might as well not be." Aren't you thankful to be a chiropractor and know what your purpose is and have the opportunity to accomplish that purpose. I would suggest that Dr. Hawkins greatest handicap in life is not physical.

The Inadequacy of Science

For those who would want to see chiropractic become more scientific perhaps some thoughts about science might be helpful. Science is amoral. It has no conscience, no morality, no right or wrong. It is merelt "a brannch of study concerned with observation and classification of facts" (Webster). It relates only to the physical world. Right away we see that apart from a materialistic, temporal world and life viewpoint, it is inadequate. There is more to the human being and human existance than the mere human part. Man is a being.

Fighting disease

Getting rid of a disease is only a matter of making a living (micro) organism extinct. That is not going to make the world any healthier. If we rid the world of all the crows, will that stop roadkill? of course not! They don't cause it. Further, there will just be something else to feed upon the roadkill.
