Alexander Sokurov in the "Posner"

I would like to agree, but does not work. Something new ideas and I do not see an infinite prozhevyvanie once found, the same urinal Duchamp and Malevich's square, signed by other names.
 More often the artist finds acceptance and further life to infinity, with the tenacity of a woodpecker ...
  Creativity and creative ideas in art any more than in any other sphere, we just got used to Professional ENG (writing, dancing, etc.) a person is automatically considered creative. New ideas as ever in short supply.
And why would it in any other field of human activity, we appreciate the talent and skill, namely in the art can (and should) do not know how.
Problem is more psychological, I think.

By and large that revolves around what has no value for cheloveka.Segodnya you are alive, and tomorrow .. No to me it just does not happen, only with drugimi.I that's really important that where the spins ? What is important is only a matter of faith in God, or not too increases the number of atheists, significantly restricting their worldview.

Do science and faith in God there is no reason for koflikta if it is not necessary for this policy. By the way, science has the property mythologize. This stems from the objective properties of the human psyche. One could say that atheism is also a belief. Only now what? The scientific progress? Belief in the absence of God! But it's weird and funny! Truly profound mind understands that the world - is unknowable! By and large we see the world through a narrow slit of subjectivity. And this is at least reason to think about God. And here and ends there, science and faith. Scientific knowledge is not in contradiction with faith, because they have different goals and methods for discovering the world. Doctrinal belief (belief system), as a scientific theory consists of the hypotheses. Therefore, faith can never replace a science, and science is faith. Moreover, they need each other. They are like a pitcher and water. Jug - faith, water - the science. Christianity was the just "Jug" to science, with its ever-changing one another "water" - hypotheses. It was picked up the baton of Christian civilization among the Greeks, at first rejected, in its maximalism, and then having encountered there, the beginning of the scientific knowledge of the world and culture in general.

You can say that atheism is also a belief. Only now what? The scientific progress?

"... In our time as it is fraught with its opposite. We see that the car has a wonderful power to cut and make human labor more productive to bring people to hunger and exhaustion. New and hitherto unknown sources of wealth, by some strange weird spell turned into sources of poverty. Victory would have bought equipment as the price of moral degradation. It seems that, as humanity subjugates nature, man becomes the slave of others or as a slave to his own infamy. Even the pure light of science can not seem to shine differently, but on the dark background of ignorance. All of our discoveries, and all our progress as it leads to the fact that the material forces of vested intellectual life and human life, deprived of their intellectual side, is reduced to the degree of simple material force ...

It is Christian civilization picked up the baton from the Greeks, at first rejected, in its maximalism, and then having encountered there, the beginning of the scientific knowledge of the world and culture in general.

Now, yes, it is obvious - the Christian civilization of the heiress and successor of the antique. But the tortuous path of knowledge.
 The Arab Middle Ages (9-11 age) was much more enlightened in the ancient sense of it than the Christian state, even - Byzantium.
 It is known that the last few philosophers of the Athenian school fled after the defeat, which committed the Christians, not much else, but in Baghdad, the Caliph, who had just made a "House of Wisdom." The Arabs translated antiques, developed their philosophies. What happened to this civilization, why she left the book and took hold of the plastid? How can degenerate civilization, culture? May, Gumilev, or there is another rule? The baton pass is not always a straight line.
The torch is given no better, and to those who denounce.
Information from this (late Soviet good) book, I cite from memory, the page does not point out, too busy to look.

Ukhtomsky, Bravo! Very interesting! This quote confirms Marx's great religious Christian doctrine of creation, perhaps he himself is not fully understood what I said.
