FRANCIS BACON

Reading of his life and on his own confession, he was ruled by greed for wealth and status. For him, progress was the way to rid us of all that holds us back from prosperity and health, bringing about utopia.

Although a brilliant thinker, setting the way forward for modern science, he had a sad lack of knowledge of God and His ways. In his view, man was master of his destiny.

The root of progress was poisoned by self-aggrandisement.
