The\u2062 shift\u2062 towards pagan ideologies, as\u200b seen in \u200dreactions to \u2062the eclipse, reflects a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-are-media-ignoring-this-muslim-mayors-racism-and-alleged-election-fraud-in-michigan\/\" title=\"Why Are Media Ignoring This Muslim Mayor\u2019s Racism And Alleged Election Fraud In Michigan?\">broader societal trend<\/a>. NASA&#8217;s promotion of\u2064 indigenous science raises debates on the intersection of modern science and ancient beliefs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monday was a pagan day in America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A giant solar eclipse moved all the way across the United States over the course of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a couple of different ways you can view a solar eclipse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are a normal person, you\u2019d view the solar eclipse as a wonderful example of science at work, an incredible example of the workings of the universe in which the sun is totally eclipsed by the moon \u2014 the workings of the rotations of the universe and the solar system. That\u2019s really cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before they knew any of the science, traditional religions suggested that things like solar eclipses \u2014 which rarely appeared and were also very scary to people \u2014 were the heavens moving in response to human sin. Human beings would sin, and then God would respond with a solar eclipse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other way to view it from a religious perspective would be to say that this is amazing and wonderful evidence of God\u2019s handiwork in the universe \u2014 the intricate workings of the universe that God created. All of those are well within traditional monotheistic religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1943-blotting-out-the-sun-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, there\u2019s the pagan view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pagan view is that you sin against <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nature<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and then the gods smack you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That view has apparently been taken by a wide variety of people across the United States. The most obvious example of someone with this belief is Sunny Hostin, co-host on \u201cThe View,\u201d who not only blamed the solar eclipse on climate change, but also blamed earthquakes on climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, it may be that Hostin doesn\u2019t know anything about science, or it may be that, in pagan circles, you are supposed to blame everything on man\u2019s sin against nature. Man has sinned against Gaia, and now Gaia will take her revenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the most spectacular scientific fail of the day, Hostin <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/legitimately-insane-sunny-hostin-mocked-for-suggesting-climate-change-behind-solar-eclipse-earthquakes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  yesterday: \u201cWe got a solar eclipse. We\u2019ve got earthquakes. \u2026 The Rapture is here. Also, I learned that the cicadas are coming. For the first time in a hundred years. This is for the first time in many, many years. \u2026 All of those things together, would maybe lead one to believe that either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mark-lewis-come-on-hurricanes-get-with-the-climate-change-program\/\" title=\"Mark Lewis: Come on, Hurricanes, Get With the Climate Change Program\">climate change exists<\/a>, or something is really going on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is something going on with what Hostin said, and that is the view that if you live in this pagan world, where the world takes its revenge on you for sinning against the climate, then you must pay homage to the climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don\u2019t have to try and solve a problem. It\u2019s not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/i-battled-rhode-islands-cookie-police\/\" title=\"I Battled Rhode Island\u2019s Cookie Police\">real-world problem<\/a> that the climate is changing over time and that perhaps you adapt as human beings or you try to mitigate particular activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead, it is a sin against the climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This move toward paganism is occurring across the spectrum. The same exact people who will say monotheistic religion is a bunch of hocus-pocus are claiming the woo-woo crystals they are wearing are changing their elemental relationship to the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Monday, NASA decided they were going to bring on an indigenous scientist named Dr. David Begay to talk about the solar eclipse. They asked him how the eclipse related to indigenous science and what the eclipse meant to the Navajo people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Begay stated:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think the knowledge on the eclipse, it goes way back from time immemorial, I\u2019m told by my elders. They knew that when you look at the sun directly, you can damage your eyes. And so they knew the danger of looking at the eclipse with the naked eye. So people were encouraged to go inside to ensure that people weren\u2019t looking up, especially the kids. So it goes way back.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And as far as eclipses, it\u2019s a time of renewal. The sun alignment with the moon and also the earth alignment, the whole cosmic cycle goes through a regeneration process. It revitalizes the process. And so it\u2019s a gift that goes on for many years, over and over. It\u2019s a cycle.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that NASA is promoting this is proof of a return to near pre-scientific paganism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What he\u2019s talking about is not science; it is, in fact, a religion of one sort or another. And NASA is promoting that now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would NASA feature a devotee of ancient Christian or Jewish theology to talk about how man\u2019s sins against God caused the solar eclipse? I don\u2019t think so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apparently, \u201cdiversity and inclusion\u201d means that we have to act as though indigenous ancient science is the same as Western science. Ancient peoples could not even properly chart the dates of solar eclipses because they didn\u2019t understand the science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NASA is supposed to have the best scientists. These are the people who put us on the moon. These are the people who may help us get to Mars. And here they are doing this interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The reversion to pagan ideology is bizarre, but it does tie into a moral underpinning that says we are to make certain sacrifices to the pagan universe \u2014 and then we backfill the rationale for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is why on the Left, once you get rid of monotheistic religions, they are filled in with some other form of religion. It could be with scientific theism \u2014 which at least has a track record of scientific progress \u2014 or with a pagan morality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE+ APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pagan morality is what many people tend to fill it with, which is why you see Whoopi Goldberg, another co-host on \u201cThe View,\u201d justifying abortion by citing the Ten Commandments. When you get rid of Judeo-Christian religion, you end up with new sacraments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the new sacraments of the far-Left include things like justifying child sacrifice, in the sense that you are talking about the justification of the termination of pregnancy and calling it moral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She is basically saying that if you are willing to execute child rapists and murderers, then you should also be willing to excuse the killing of the unborn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why? Because this is now a sacrament on the Left. That is why they\u2019re now twisting the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This has become a sacrament on the pagan Left: Abortion is not just something terrible that sometimes people have to do. It is something that is an <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affirmative good<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is perverse. And the Left\u2019s sacraments include things like abortion, climate change, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-parents-protesting-crt-trans-ideology-arrested-after-loudoun-county-school-board-shuts-down-meeting\/\" title=\"WATCH: Parents Protesting CRT, Trans Ideology Arrested After Loudoun County School Board Shuts Down Meeting\">trans ideology<\/a>, which explains the bizarre spectacle of the legendary women\u2019s basketball coach Dawn Staley suggesting trans women should be allowed to play in NCAA events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making abortion a sacrament and paying homage to the climate change gods so there won\u2019t be an earthquake or a solar eclipse are all parts of the bizarre universe we now inhabit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And it is incumbent on moral people to push back against that bizarre universe by demonstrating moral clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday witnessed a unique phenomenon in America\u2014an expansive solar eclipse traversed the nation.
